All Scripture is divinely inspired by God, inerrant, infallible and preseved in the English language as the King James Bible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
II Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One God eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. |
|
|
|
|
|
I John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is
true God and true man. |
|
|
|
|
|
Isaiah 7:14 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 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Man was created in the image of God; man sinned; and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
|
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that
is in Christ Jesus:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in
his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God;
|
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might
be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works?
Nay: but by the law of faith.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without
the deeds of the law. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death
by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of
my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my
members.
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter he second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born
of the Spirit is spirit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Christ died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in
Him are justified by His shed blood.
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The crucified body of our Lord was resurrected from the dead. He ascended into
Heaven and is our Intercessor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The personal, premillenial return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is
imminent
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethen, concerning
them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so
them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 4:15 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 prevent them
which are asleep. |
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in
Christ shall rise first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 4:17 The we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be
with the Lord.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. |
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethen, ye have no need
that I write unto you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so
cometh as a theif in the night. |
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden
destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall
not escape.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 5:4 But ye, brethen, are not in darkness, that that day should
overtake you as a theif.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:
we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and
be sober.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be
drunken are drunken in the night.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the
brestplate of faith and lovel and for an helmet, and hope of salvation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Thes 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All who repent of their sin toward God and receive by faith the Lord Jesus
Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and become the children of God
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That Salvation is by grace through faith. No work by man, whether baptism or any
other religious work, adds or aids in securing favor with God for salvation. |
|
|
|
|
|
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Immersion is the only Scriptural mode of baptism and is for believers only. |
|
|
|
|
|
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus
Christ were baptized into his death?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like
as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we
also should walt in newness of life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Acts 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water:
and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Acts 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down
both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Matt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
Amen.
