Our Message…
We want to share with all who believe the Bible
is the Word of God, what God has done in this
age to
fulfill His written Word.
The cry of Revelation 18:4 is in the land today,
"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not
partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues."
Tribulation will soon strike the earth. A message
of grace has come
to deliver a people before that "day of the
Lord" strikes in fullness. Believers will
understand I John 1:7 and
walk in the light of the hour.
We Believe…
God and His Word are inseparable.
§ "In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God and the Word was God."
John 1:1
The Word of God is our absolute to understanding
God, His principles of life, and for recognizing
the life
Style God expects of His children.
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for
correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works." II Timothy
3: 16-17
The Christian life is not just a religion, but
the person of Christ coming into the individual
and living His life
through them.
"This only would I learn of you, Received
ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the
hearing of
faith? …Are ye so foolish? Having begun in
the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?"
Galatians 3:2, 3
God offers salvation to "whosoever will."
§ "And the Spirit and the bride say,
Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever
will, let
him take the water of life freely." Revelation
22:17
Salvation is by grace, through faith, (not of
works) and that not of ourselves, but a gift from
God.
§ "For by grace are ye saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God:" Ephesians
2:8
Peter gave the formula (prescription) for receiving
the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost: "Repent
and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ…" in response to the throng's
question, "What can we do
to be saved?"
§ "Now when they heard this, they were
pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and
to the rest of the
apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of
the Holy Ghost." Acts 2: 37-38
Acts 2: 38 is precisely the interpretation of
Matthew 28: 19. The name (singular) of the Father,
the Son
and the Holy Ghost is just what Scripture says:
the Lord Jesus Christ. (See also I John 5:7, Ephesians
3:9-15,
Colossians 1:19, 2:9, & 3:17, Acts 4:12)
§ "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost:" Matthew 28: 19
God is one. He commanded Israel in Deuteronomy
6:4, "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is
one." In Mark
12:29, Jesus called this "the first of all
commandments."
This one God has manifested Himself through three
manifestations: Fatherhood, Sonship and Holy Ghost.
God above us, God with us, and God in us.
§ Above us: "And the LORD went before
them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them
the way; and
by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light;
to go by day and night." Exodus 13:21
§ With us: Behold, a virgin shall be with
child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall
call his name
Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with
us." Matthew 1:23
§ With us and in us: "Even the Spirit
of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because
it seeth him
not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for
he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."
John 14:
17
Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, suffered, died
and rose again on the third day, for our justification.
§ The virgin birth offset the original sin.
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;
Behold, a
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall
call his name Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14
§ The death paid the penalty of sin for all
who can believe. "Forasmuch as ye know that
ye were
not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver
and gold, from your vain conversation received
by
tradition from your fathers; But with the precious
blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish
and
without spot:" I Peter 1:18-19
§ The resurrection testified that God had
accepted the sacrifice and act as the first fruits
of
the coming resurrection of all God's children
at the "last trump." But now is Christ
risen from
the dead, and become the first fruits of them
that slept. … 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." I Corinthians 15: 20, 52
Many of the mysterious subjects approached in
the Word of God were to be "sealed,"
"closed up," or
"sealed up" until the time of the end
according to prophecy in the Bible itself. The
Bible also says they
were to be opened in the "last days,"
the last time," and the "time of the
end."
§ The mystery of world political systems:
"And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the
words are
closed up and sealed till the time of the end."
Daniel 12:9
§ The mystery of predestination: "Who
are kept by the power of God through faith unto
salvation
ready to be revealed in the last time." I
Peter 1:5
§ The mystery of the seven thunders and God,
Himself to be revealed: "And when the seven
thunders had uttered their voices, I was about
to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying
unto
me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders
uttered, and write them not. …But in the
days of the
voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin
to sound, the mystery of God should be finished,
as he
hath declared to his servants the prophets."
Revelation 10: 4, 7
There is a last day restoration and unveiling
of these mysteries, an understanding of the Word
of God that
is to surpass all Scripture knowledge prior to
this time, yet, with no additions and no subtractions
to the
written Word (See Revelation10: 7).
§ "Even thus shall it be in the day
when the Son of man is revealed." (not comes,
but is revealed)
Luke 17: 30
§ "Behold, I will send you Elijah the
prophet… And he shall turn… the heart
of the children to their
fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with
a curse." Malachi 4:5, 6
This is that age. These mysteries have been unsealed
exactly according to the Scriptural promises of
Malachi 4, Revelation 10, and more.
§ Luke 17: 26, 27 - World conditions: "as
in the days of Noah"and "as in the days
of Lot" (who
lived in Sodom… Both brought God's judgment.
II Timothy 3:1-8 - World Conditions: man's ways
at the end. They all match our present day.
The King James Bible is the most accurate Bible
translation.
Plus…
We will believe anything else God should care
to reveal from His Word.
