We Believe
2 Corinthians 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
-
We
Believe
that the scriptures of the bible are by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and are the sure
Word of God, and are they
which testify of Jesus
Christ.
-
We
Believe
and continue in the Apostles' doctrine (the doctrine of
the 12 Apostles of the Lamb), and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in
prayers, for we have believed on Jesus Christ through their word.
-
We
Believe
there is one body, and one Spirit, and that we are called in one hope of our
calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God, Who is Spirit, Who
is our Father, Who was revealed in His only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ.
-
We
Believe
that a virgin, named Mary,
conceived the Son of God
in her womb through the
miraculous power of the Holy
Spirit that had come upon
her and overshadowed her.
And when the days were
accomplished that she
should give birth she
brought forth her first
born son named Jesus,
which is Christ the Lord,
for He would save His
people from their sins.
-
We
Believe
that all have sinned and
come short of the glory
of God and that we are
saved by grace through
faith and that not of
ourselves, it is the gift
of God.
-
We
Believe
that the world has been reconciled unto God
through the cross of Christ and because of that "whosoever will may
come", but not all of mankind will be reconciled to God which is
alone is by the free gift of righteousness by the one man Jesus Christ and
that by faith in His blood.
-
We
Believe in the finished work of the cross; that Jesus Christ
took our infirmities, bare our sicknesses, and bare our sins in His own body
on the tree, by Whose stripes we were healed; spirit, soul and body.
-
We
Believe
that because God so loved
the world that He gave
His only begotten Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ, that whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have
everlasting life,
that He died for our sins, that He was buried and
that He rose again the
third day as according
to the scriptures and
Apostolic tradition.
-
We
Believe
that except a man be born
again of the Spirit of
Christ he cannot enter
the Kingdom of God and
that there is only one
Name under heaven given
among men whereby we
must be saved... the
Name of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Neither
is their salvation in
any other.
-
We
Believe
that the Lord adds to His church daily such as should
be saved, because before the foundation of the world we were chosen in
Christ to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and by our belief of
the truth. For from the beginning, by His foreknowledge, the Lord already knew
who would believe and who would not. Therefore whom He did foreknow, He also
did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might
be the firstborn among many brethren.
-
We
Believe
that not all of those who are of natural Israel (the Jews) are of spiritual
Israel (the church; one new man of both Jew and Gentile
converts) for it is the children of the promise (those born again of the
Spirit) who are accounted as the seed. However, there is now "the elect"
of natural Israel consisting of a divinely chosen remnant of (1) those
presently in Christ, and (2) those called to the same remnant and yet to be saved. Yet when "the
fullness of the Gentiles be come in", God shall take away the blindness
from the hearts of the remainder of natural Israel to see Jesus Christ as their Messiah also.
So in this way, both Jew and Gentile will enter into their salvation by faith
and through the grace of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-
We
Believe
in being baptized with the Holy Ghost and speaking with other tongues, and
that in this baptism we are anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power that
we may go about and do good, healing all those who are oppressed of the Devil,
for God is with us.
-
We
Believe
in the manifestation of
the sovereign Presence of the Holy Spirit among us, and of the
demonstration of the Spirit with power in us through the speaking of
His Word and preaching, and of the manifestation of His Spirit by us through
His gifts of the word
of wisdom, the word of
knowledge, faith, gifts
of healing, the working
of miracles, prophecy,
discerning of spirits,
tongues and interpretation
of tongues, that our faith
should not stand in the
wisdom of men but in the
power of God.
-
We
Believe
that Jesus Christ is the Chief Corner Stone of His church and that the church
is built upon the foundation of the ministry of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb in
union with the scriptures of the
Old Testament Prophets,
and
that the ministry of Christ
is an Apostolic and High
Priestly ministry after
the order of Melchisedec.
-
We
Believe
that Christ continues today to give and to anoint, by the Spirit, Apostles,
Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers to perfect, to equip and to
empower the members of His church (which is His Body) to do the work of the
ministry in His church and in
the nations.
-
We
Believe
that His church is a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people that should show forth the
praises of Him Who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light,
because by His church shall all men be
made to know the fellowship of the mystery of Christ in us.
-
We
Believe
that His church is the gate of heaven and is the tabernacle of God on earth
and is with men, unto whom the former things are passed and and all things are
made new. For if any man be in Christ he is a new creature. Old things are
passed away and all things have been made new.
-
We
Believe
that His church is the holy city, the New Jerusalem that
has come down out of heaven from God prepared as a bride adorned for her
husband and is the bride of Christ, the Lamb's wife, having the glory of God.
-
We
Believe
that Spirit of Christ is
now our spirit and our life, that He is now living
in our bodies and that
our soul man has been recreated in Christ and is now dwelling in Him. Now we
are residing in the Spirit, not in the flesh. We are now a man in Christ
and our bodies are now the temple
of the Holy Ghost. So it is
now no longer we
who live in the flesh but
it is Christ Who lives in us and the the life we now live, while in our
earthly bodies, is by the faith of the Son of God dwelling in us... and we believe what
Jesus believes!
-
We
Believe
the Word of the Lord that lives and abides forever and
that this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto us; that the Word
which was in the beginning was made flesh in Jesus the Christ, the only
begotten of the Father full of grace and truth, and that His glory was
revealed unto His Apostles Whom he had chosen.
-
We
Believe
that God, Who in the beginning commanded the light to shine out of
darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face (person) of Jesus Christ and that we have this
treasure in our earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God
and not of us, that the life also of Jesus might be manifested in our souls
and in our mortal flesh.
-
We
Believe
that God is of power to turn the whole church resolutely as one new man in Christ by
the gospel of the Apostles' and by the preaching of Christ as our life
(according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the
world began, but is now made manifest) and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment ("Let there be Light") of the everlasting God, to
be made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
-
We
Believe
that we have been called
by the gospel to the obtaining
of the glory of our Lord
Jesus Christ and that this
is the hope of the gospel
and is the mystery revealed of Christ is in us
the hope of glory.
-
We
Believe
that now we are the sons
of God and our earnest
expectation is for the manifestation of the Son of God in us, that the glory
of the Lord may be revealed through each one of us, that Name of our Lord
Jesus Christ may be glorified by us.
-
We
Believe
that the knowledge of the glory of the Lord
shall be revealed in and
by His
people and that by the
church shall the glory of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the
sea. For the present
appearing of Christ unto
His church is so that He may be glorified in His saints and to be admired in all them that
believe.
-
We
Believe
the gospel of the Kingdom
of God which our Lord Jesus
Christ preached
and that He revealed unto
His Apostles, and that now is come salvation
and strength and the Kingdom
of our God and the power
of His Christ, for the accuser
of the brethren (the Devil)
is cast down.
-
We
Believe
that the Kingdom of God
rules over all, is everlasting,
full of glory and power,
is ever increasing in government
and peace and that His dominion
will endure throughout all
generations. We are
Kingdom always!
-
We
Believe
there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust at
the return coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
to the earth. The righteous
unto the resurrection of
life with resurrected bodies
fashioned like unto the
glorious body of Jesus Christ.
For he that believes has
everlasting life and shall
not come into condemnation.
The evil will rise unto
the resurrection of damnation,
for he that does not believe
is damned already.
-
We
Believe
that the Lord Jesus Christ shall judge the living and the dead at His
appearing and His Kingdom, because there is appointed a day in the which the
world shall be judged in righteousness by Him and that all shall
stand before the judgement
seat of Christ.
-
We
Believe
that God is love and in the love that God has to us so
that we may have boldness in the day of judgment. We abide in His love and are
beholding what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us that we
should be called the sons of God, Who in Christ has already delivered us from
the wrath to come.
-
We
Believe
that judgment of the believer is 3-fold; past, present and future. In judgment
past were were found guilty as a sinner and yet acquitted by the blood of
Jesus. In judgment present we are being judged as sons, being chastened by our
Father to bring forth the peaceable fruit of righteousness in us. In judgment
future it is a judgment of reward unto His servants, being rewarded according
to our works while we were in these earthly bodies.
-
We
Believe
that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God
and that we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at
the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
-
We
Believe
that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will
God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we
which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them
which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God and the dead in
Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
(seized, taken) together (to associate) with them in the clouds (among the
cloud of witnesses, the clouds of heaven), to meet the Lord in the air (to
encounter and to receive the Lord into the air we breathe): and so shall we ever be with the Lord
(here on the earth).
-
We
Believe
that He cometh with clouds, with ten thousands of His
saints, and that every eye shall see Him and that He has made us kings and
priests unto our God and Father and that we shall reign with Christ on the
earth.
- We Believe the same Jesus, Whom the heaven must receive until the restitution (restoration) of all things spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began, that this same Jesus will return again to the earth when He has put down all other rule and all authority and power beneath the feet of His Church... and the last enemy that will be destroyed is death. And then comes the end when He shall deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father.
