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 (without any private interpretation) are by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and are the sure Word of God, and is the record which testifies of Jesus Christ.
   
• We Believe and continue in the Apostles' doctrine (the doctrine of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb; Paul being the 12th), and their fellowship with the Father and the Son, 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, the daughter of Heli, conceived the Son of God in her womb through the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit that had 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 by the disobedience of one man, Adam (the father of mankind), sin entered into the world and death by sin; and so death passed upon all mankind and because of that all have sinned, and that now through the obedience of the one man Jesus Christ, and by the abundance of His grace (His unmerited favour and loving kindness), shall many be saved from their sins and be made righteous.
   
• We Believe in the Spirit of Grace Who is with us, and that we are abiding under the dispensation of  His grace, and that we are no longer guilty of, or judged by, the Law in regard to righteousness; for the Law was given by Moses but grace and truth was brought  into being through Jesus Christ, Who alone is the righteous One and it is His Spirit, in us, Who is our righteousness and our right standing with God.
  
  
• We Believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that, because of His grace, we are saved through faith and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God.
   
• We Believe that genuine faith to believe is a gift of God and comes by hearing the word of God that the Apostles preached (which is recorded of them in the bible), and so whosoever will call in faith upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved.
   
• 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 we have been born again into the Kingdom of God, as the sons of God, and 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 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 the redemptive work of His blood.
   
• We Believe that our old spirit man Adam is crucified with Christ, that his spirit was replaced by the Spirit of Christ when we were born again, and that Christ in us is now our life. We are now a new man in Christ and our bodies are now the temple of the Holy Ghost. So the the life we now live, while in our earthly bodies, is by the faith of the Son of God Who loved us and gave Himself for us... and we believe what Jesus believes!
  
  
• 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. Therefore now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for (the Devil) the accuser of our brethren is cast down.
   
• 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 and heal all those who are oppressed of the Devil, for God is with us.
   
• We Believe in the Presence of the Holy Spirit Who is with us and in the manifestation of His Spirit that is in 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, and that our faith should not have its existence 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, and is the pillar and the ground of truth.
   
• We Believe the Word of the Lord that lives and abides forever, which is, "As truly as I live all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord"... and that this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto us; and that the Word which was in the beginning was made flesh as 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 of creation 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 (the person) of Jesus Christ, Whose Spirit is in us, and that we have this treasure in our earthen vessels (housed inside our earthly bodies) 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 (according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began, but is now made manifest, which is Christ in us the hope of glory) 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 in His church is so that King Jesus and His Kingdom may be glorified in the sons of God to make known unto the sons of men the glorious majesty of His Kingdom.
   
• We Believe in the gospel of the Kingdom of God which our Lord Jesus Christ preached and revealed unto His Apostles. Christ is the King of His Kingdom, and His Church (the assembly of the called out ones) are His subjects and are now the citizens and servants of the Kingdom of heaven.
   
• We Believe that the Kingdom of God is full of the life of the Holy Spirit and rules over all the kingdoms of the earth, is eternal (past, present and now), full of glory and power, is ever increasing in government and peace, and that the dominion of our King and His Kingdom will endure throughout all generations, is invisible for now but will become public again when Christ returns to the earth.
   
• 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. Unbelievers 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 the appearing of His Kingdom, because there is appointed a day in the which the world shall be judged in righteousness by Him.
   
• 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 judgement of His wrath which is to come.
   
• We Believe that judgment of the believer is 3-fold; past as a sinner, present as a son, and now as a servant. In judgment past were were found guilty as a sinner and yet acquitted by the sacrificial 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 so that we will not be judged with the world when Christ returns. Judgment now is about being being rewarded as a servant with good and beneficial things (or worthless or injurious things) and this, according to our works while we are in these earthly bodies; for we all are now appearing before the judgement seat of Christ, neither is there any man that is not manifested in His sight, but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
   
• We Believe that our natural flesh and blood body cannot inherit the body that is of the kingdom of God and therefore 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 (having a body made like unto the glorious, immortal body of our Lord Jesus).
   
• 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 precede them which have died in Christ. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God and those who have died in Christ (being present with the Lord and now absent from their natural body) shall resurrect first into their glorified bodies. Then we which are alive and remain on the earth shall be changed (having our new bodies) and be caught up (by the Spirit) together with them into the cloud of heaven (where Jesus had been received into and out of our natural sight) to meet and to publicly receive the Lord our King back into the air of this earthly realm: and so shall we ever be with the Lord here 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 (who had been received into the cloud of heaven and out of our natural sight) will return again in like manner 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 (the completion of all things purposed in Christ) when He shall deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father. Amen.

1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
