WHAT DO WE BELIEVE?

WE BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS!

WE BELIEVE IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS!

Stephen and Bonita Ann (Logsdon) Richie

We believe in God.  He is the eternal Creator of all things.  He is omnipotent and omnipresent.  He is both LORD and Judge over all things pertaining to life and over all things pertaining to eternity. 

We KNOW  The Bible to be the inerrant and infallible Word of God.  We KNOW EVERY thing in The Word of God to be absolutely true.  We truly believe in His Word.

We KNOW by God's Own Word that He is a triune Being.  He is God the Father, Jesus the Son, and The Holy Ghost.  We know by what Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 that The Name of The Father and The Son and The Holy Ghost is JESUS.  THIS NAME ALONE...JESUS... IS THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES!!!  HALLELUJAH AND THANK YOU, LORD!!!

We KNOW that Jesus was born of a virgin named Mary.  He lived a sinless life.  He was crucified on an old rugged cross for the sins of the world.  He was the sinless and spotless Lamb of God sent to atone for our sins.  His Blood ALONE atones for sin before God.  Works don't atone for our sins.....nor does any other method we might devise by our human intellect.  JESUS' BLOOD ALONE ATONES FOR OUR SINS BEFORE GOD ALMIGHTY!!!  WE BELIEVE IN THE NAME AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS!!!

Repentance....TRUE repentance must occur in our hearts and TRUE faith and belief in Jesus must occur before we can be eternally saved by Jesus. There is NO eternal salvation to be found in any other.  Jesus is the ONLY way to God the Father.  He rose to life again on the third day after His death.  He lived on earth another forty days and was seen by many many many witnesses.  He was caught up by God and taken to Heaven and there He sits at the right hand of God until the end of all things prophesied in His Word come to pass.  He will then take up eternal rulership in Jerusalem as King.  The dead shall be raised to life again. He will oversee a judgement of those who have rejected Him.  They will be thrown alive into the lake of fire called hell that burns forever and ever along with the devil himself and all demons.  

We KNOW that ALL believers MUST be baptized in water after TRUE repentance and Jesus' eternal salvation. 

We KNOW that God's Holy Spirit comes to dwell in all TRUE believers in Jesus.  We know that He leads us into ALL truth JUST AS JESUS CHRIST SAID HE WOULD!

We also KNOW that there is a Baptism that JESUS gives.  It is called "The Holy Spirit Baptism".  We believe in ALL of the gifts of The Holy Ghost which also includes the gift of tongues.  We believe in ALL of the offices that He has established in The Church. 

We KNOW that Jesus will summon ALL Christians both alive and dead at The Rapture which will occur before the out-pouring of God's judgement on this evil world.  We will be changed in a twinkling of an eye into our spiritual bodies to forever live with The LORD Jesus.  This Rapture is nearer than we know!!!!  We will stand before God to be judged and will receive crowns and rewards for our works on this earth.  As the world left behind wreaks in anguish and terror and despair during the tribulation days of God's wrath, we TRUE Christians shall be attending The Marraige Supper of The Lamb with Jesus our LORD and eternal God and Savior.  Troubles will be over......God HIMSELF shall wipe away every tear from our eyes.

We KNOW Jesus is the Christ.......the long-awaited Messiah that the Jews have waited so very long for.  We also know by God's inerrant Word that the blindness of the Jews is in part for us as Gentiles to be brought into The Kingdom of God by faith in Jesus Christ as our LORD and Savior.  We also know that Jesus has NOT forgotten His Own Jewish people and that He will have salvation and forgiveness for them when He returns to earth.  The promises God made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are as fully intact now as they were when God spoke them so many years ago.  God has promised that He will BLESS those that LOVE Israel and He has also promised that He will CURSE those that HATE Israel.  God's Word does not change.

We KNOW that this world was framed and created EXACTLY as God states it in Genesis.  To believe anything else is to call God a liar.  That is a very grave spot to be in.  God holds the very breath we breathe in His hands. 

The truth about God can ONLY be found in His Word.....The Bible.  That truth is JESUS!!!

What we KNOW about God is available for YOU to KNOW about Him.  Search the scriptures........for in them you will find the way to eternal life.  That way is JESUS!!!
