Faith

For those of you that are interested in learning more about my faith, here it is in a nutshell.

Fundamental Doctrine

The basic and fundamental doctrine is the Bible standard of full salvation, which starts with repentance, then baptism in water by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking with tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.

The Bible

The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living.

2 Timothy 3:15-17

God

There is one God in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man.

Deuteronomy 6:4
Ephesians 4:4-6
Colossians 2:9
1 Timothy 3:16

Sin and Salvation

Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:23-25
Romans 6:23
Ephesians 2:8-9

The Gospel

The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection).

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Acts 2:4; 37-39
Romans 6:3-4

Christian Living

As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today.

Mark 12:28-31
2 Corinthians 7:1
Hebrews 12:14
1 Corinthians 12:8-10

The Future

Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Revelation 20:11-15
