So you will know what I believe.

• I believe in God, the Father, Who through His Son and His Holy Spirit created all things.
  
• I believe in God's son, Jesus of Nazareth, Who was born of a virgin; lived on earth as flesh and bone; Who ministered by word and miracles; was arrested and killed by crucifixion; Whom they buried, Who rose on the third day; Who ascended into heaven, Who is seated at the right hand of God; Who will return for those who believe in and accept Him as Lord and Savior. This Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah of Israel, the Christ, the Savior of those who accept Him and who turn their lives over to Him.
  
• I believe in the Holy Spirit of God, which Jesus sent as Comforter after He ascended back to His Father.
  
• I believe that the Holy Spirit is a gift to believers, which gives gifts from God's grace to the body for its blessing and benefit.
  
• I believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit. That the Holy Spirit is the esense of God and what connects both God and Christ, and those who have recieved the Holy Spirit today (Christians).
  
• I believe that the Holy Spirit live in those who have accept Christ as their Lord and Savior and invite Christ into themselves to live.
  
• I believe that Christ Jesus, reigns in us, only as we enthrone Him in our hearts.
  
• I believe that Jesus saves those who turn to Him, and that He adds them to His Body.
  
• I believe that all true believers make up the body of Christ. It is not a denomination, but made up of those true believers in all Denominations, but not nessessarly everyone in a Denomination.
  
• I believe that each Christian is thus a "body part" - a functioning part of the Body of Christ. It is in this Body that we serve Him, and we serve and benefit each other. Acting individually or in concert with other disciples, we serve others by tell them the good news (gospel) about Jesus the Christ, and the salvation He offers. It is also in this body that His disciples jointly share everything and anything they have, when they are with other believers. This is fellowship.
  
• I believe that those who accept Him will be immersed into Him, just as first century disciples were.
  
• I believe in the resurrection of the dead, and that the godly will be saved to live forever with God in a place Jesus is now preparing, and that the ungodly will be forever lost.
  
• I believe the aspect of being ungodly is a personal action of the individual in that they have rejected the word of God, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
  
• I believe the Bible to be the Guide Book for Hummanity, and to be our guide for our faith and for living.
  
• I believe we have lost the understanding of the language that was used at the time the Books that now make up the Bible were written in. That it is the Holy Spirit that has the ability to translate these works. But the problem is that we have a tendancy to limit the Holy Spirit, by our won colored glasses. These glasses are colored by our cultural / family / spiritual up bringing. A sort of spiritual cateracs. These careracs are removed by the Holy Spirit only when we continue to study the Word of God and pray for understanding. This can not be done alone completely, and this is why group fellowship and Bible study is important to a Christian. Read the bible at home isn't enough because the Holy Spirit uses others (Fellow Christians, Teachers, Pastors, Evangelists) to teach and communicate truths to the body. This can not take place if you limit God to one day or morning a week or if you don't give Him any time at all.
  
• I believes in taking the good news (Gospel) about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to all those who are not saved, and in edifying the body of Christ.
  
• I do believe that full time ministries should be paid. That it is ok to have a Church building, and that the fellowship that uses it should keep it up. That 95% of offerings/tithes given to the church should be used for the needy, ophans and widows as we are told in the new testiment unless other wise specified. This should be the priority of the church, not the building itself. A church that spends most or all of its income on the church building, and not for the ophans, widows or the poor has it's prioritys backwards. God tells us to put our treasures where our hearts are. When we put it in a big beautiful building, we have our reward in the possition of the building. When we care for the poor, ophans and widows, we build our reward in heaven. It can't be seen by man, but it is worth much more.
