1.) I believe that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God (or woman) may be thoroughly furnished unto all good works. II Timothy 3:16-17
2.) I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that He was born of a virgin, that He went to the cross, that He died for us, and that He resurrected on the third day. St John 3:16-18 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” Also, in St John 14:6 He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father but by me.”
3.) I believe that salvation is not only referring to the new birth, but the whole man. It also means health, healing, wisdom, and deliverance.
II Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.” In St John 3:6 it says, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” And in Colossians 1:13 Paul describes what transpired after you accept Christ as your savor. “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.” You now have His nature and walk no longer according this world’s system but walk according to God’s world of life and peace.
4.) I believe in the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
5.) I believe that water baptism is an outward sign of an inward work of the Holy Spirit, representing the new birth.
6.) I believe in receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues.
7.) I also believe that after death, heaven will be our home.
8.) And I believe that Jesus will return and those who are in Christ that remain will be caught up – or what we refer to as the rapture.
In summary to the statement of beliefs, I pray that you ask Jesus into your heart and begin to enjoy a life of sweet peace and joy. So that you may know that God’s love for you is deeper than anything that you could ever imagine. He gave his only begotten son for you and me. He was the sinless Christ who chose to die for us because He wanted you to be part of His family and to bring you into His Father’s house. God watched his Son die and suffer a horrible death in taking all our sins on Him to the cross. There is no other name whereby men can be saved. Only through Jesus Christ, will any of us enter into Heaven and into the sweet arms of our Father. The True and only God!!!
