There are No Denominations
The Lord Jesus Christ built one church
“Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. ”
All of those who have received Salvation, Sanctification, and kept to God’s Word and Commandments, no matter what they call their church, are a part of God’s church.
“The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit”
“Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are.”
There was never meant to be division among the followers of Christ:
“I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.”
We Believe in Salvation
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Like our Father in Heaven, we too hope that all should receive Salvation and everlasting life:
“The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.”
We Believe in Sanctification
Salvation changes us with the desire to follow Christ and fills us with the Holy Spirit to guide us. With Sanctification the Holy Spirit controls us.
“I am a special messenger from Christ Jesus to you Gentiles. I bring you the Good News so that I might present you as an acceptable offering to God, made holy by the Holy Spirit.”
“God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives.”
Baptism by Immersion
After Salvation we believe that Baptism is the outward expression of one’s acceptance of Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior, a washing away of sins and acceptance of Jesus for all to see.
“For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.”
Marriage
Marriage is a gift from God, not an ordinance or institution of man, a gift shared between a man and a woman.
“ “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’” And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.””
