God: God is a Spirit (John 4:24); He is eternal, holy and never changing (Hebrews 13:8).
God is triune: One God but Three Distinct Persons. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each member of the trinity is God. The Father is God (John 6:27); The Son is God (John 1:10; The Holy Spirit is God (1 Corinthians 3:16)
God the Father: The First Person of Triune God who is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:3); Only He should be called the Father (Matthew 23:9), both in heaven and on the earth. He is perfect (Matthew 5:45). He is actively involved in the affairs of this universe, down to the sparrows that fall to the ground (Matthew 10:29). He is powerful (Mark 14:36) and merciful (Luke 6:36)
God the Son: The Second Person of Triune God who came to this world through incarnation and lived as Lord Jesus Christ. He is equal to the Father in His essence and glory (2 Cor 4:4; Colossians 2:9; 1 Tim 3:16). He is eternal God, always existing even before His short earthly life (John 8:58). In Christ, God took upon the human form. One must put his or her faith in Lord Jesus Christ to be saved (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).
God the Holy Spirit: The Third Person of Triune God, equal to God the Father and God the Son. He is not just a force or power. He is a Person. He is actively involved in the ministry of God the Father and God the Son. He offers His fellowship to the believers (2 Cor 3:14). He is the Counselor and Comforter (John 14:26). He convicts the world of guilt, sin, righteousness and judgment (John 16:8). He will guide believers into all truth (John 16:13).
Universe: It is a voluntary creation of God (Genesis 1). It is framed, designed, created and maintained by the power of and word of God (Hebrews 11:1-3)
Creation of Humanity: God specially created human beings, animals and plants without the agency of Darwinian macroevolutionary process. God created human beings in His image. God actively intervenes into the lives of individuals and progress of the nations as He desires. Man is ultimately accountable to God. Except those who are saved by trusting Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, every human being ever lived will be judged at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-12).
Meaning and Purpose of Human Life: Human beings derive meaning and purpose for their lives through a relationship with their Creator and His human manifestation, Lord Jesus Christ, who said ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that cometh out of the mouth of God’
Darwinian Evolution: Darwin’s evolutionary theory is a lie. It never happened. While microevolution happens continuously, macroevolution did not and does not happen.
Satan: Satan is a real person. He was created by God as an Angel, but he rebelled against God and was thrown out of heaven. He deceived Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, leading humanity into disobedience to God (Original Sin and Fall). Ever since, he and his followers (demons) are in the business of deception and lying concerning the truth of God. His ultimate destiny is eternal hell. (Ezekiel 28:12-18; Revelation 12:3-4; Isaiah 14:12-4; Genesis 3:3-5)
Angels: Angels are real, spiritual beings (Luke 24:37-39). They were created by God (Colossians 1:16-17). They are ministering spirits (Hebrews 1:14).
Salvation: Salvation is a gift of God. It is by grace through faith in the finished work of Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross. We do not work for it, nor earn it with our own abilities. It comes to us purely through the mercy and grace of God shown to us in the person of Christ. Through his death on the cross, Christ paid an the penalty we owe to God because of our sins. Therefore, when we put our faith in Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, our sins are forgiven and we are saved for ever. Once saved, we do not lose our salvation under any circumstance.
Heaven: Heaven is a real, physical place (John 14:2-4). Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven (John 14:6).
Hell: Hell is a real, physical place (Rev 19:20). It is a place of eternal punishment for Satan, his demons, and unbelievers ( 2 Thessalonians 1:9).
Bible: The word of God written down by the holy men of God under the inspiration of God the Holy Spirit. It is infallible, inerrant and indestructible. There is the sole authority for the practice of Christian faith for both the believer and the church. There is no authority outside the Bible.
Church: Church is the body of Christ, where believers are united in His name (Ephesians 5:25,26)
End of History: Human history will end as prophesied in the Bible. We believe in the literal Second Coming of Lord Jesus Christina physical form and the establishment of His 1000 year reign after the 7 year tribulation period.
End of the universe: Universe will end as prophesied by God in His word. It will be destroyed by fire and replaced with a new universe. (2 Peter 3:7; Revelation 21:1)

praise the lord bro.greetings to you in jesus name.It is good to see what you believe.Iam happy with that brother.I heard a message of you in subhavartha.Iam happy that you are a learned person and you have so much of information.I praise GOD for that and i will pray that many may receive christ through your work.But I’m sorry to say that the belief you have concerning the rapture is anti-bibilical. Many of the GOD’S servants are misguided in this particular issue .I want to remind you my dear brother in christ that ‘The knowledge of the Holy comes by revelation not by research’. A.W. TOZER a man of GOD who was treated as a 20th century prophet says inorder to understand the bible properly we need the annointing of the prophets that wrote the bible.I agree with him completely it needs the grace of GOD and his divine appointment .The inspired book written by illiterates and lay persons is the subject of study in bible colleges.Anti-christ is coming to fight with the saints.Church should go through ‘The great tribulation’.It is the prophecy GENESIS 3:15.The entire bible supports this.It is the snare of that deadly old serpent to hide the facts so that the church may not be ready for the battle.It is deadly poison to the church to preach pre-tribulation.Unknowingly many of the GOD’S earnest servants being deceived preching this wrong doctrine which harms the church.My dear brothet in Christ please examine the scriptures thoroughly regarding this.Ask the HOLY SPIRIT for guidance.May GOD lead you to all truth.
I was glad to see the statement of belief as it addressed concerns of this wicked age. My only objection is your eschatology.
The seven year trib period which supposedly precedes a 1,000 year reign of our Lord on earth from Jerusalem is not what the scriptures teach. This view cannot be reconciled with all of the clear passages of scripture which speak directly to the second coming! It is an error to use Revelation 20 as the principal text to harmonize all of the passages which address eschatology! This runs counter to the analogy of scripture or faith on the subject.and therefore must be reconsidered in light of what is clearly revealed by our Lord, Peter, Paul and John who other than Revelation makes no mention of a millenial reign in his other writings. Without Revelation 20 a single passage in a book filled with symbolism and metaphors the concept can with consistency of interpretation be understood figuratively and not literally.
The 1,000 years symbolically represents the gospel age. The accumulative weight of the entire testimony of scripture supports this view. We interpret the one by the many not the many by the one.
Had to get that in. But I do appreciate the declaration of faith.
Godspeed,
Thanks Michael
I will look into that
It is your opinion that is in error concerning the end times. Both Old and New Testaments speak of a time where Jesus rules and reigns from earthly Jerusalem, with a rod of iron after He touches down on the exact place He ascended from. You have spiritualized passages that are to be taken literally as Israel became a nation again on May 14, 1948. Remnant Israel will be protected during the last 3.5 years of Daniels 70th week as satan turns his attention on those who have the testimony of Jesus and keep Gods commands, the church. We are not to love our lives unto death but hold fast to the Lord during these coming times. The reformed theology would have us in the millennium now with satan bound…couldnt be further from the truth.
where do you stand on women submitting, staying silent in church and patriarchy in general>?
