If
someone were to ask you a Question about God, Here is the Scripture's to
show them where your faith and your belief's are written thru out the Bible.

(Revelation 20:4 Zechariah 14:9)

and not of works (Ephesians 2:8-9) It must be preached (Romans 10:14) and it

* We believe that water baptism is ordained of God for all that believe
(Matthew 3:13-15; Romans 6:3-5; Acts 2:37-39)
* We believe in the ordinance of the communion as established by Jesus
Christ (Matthew 26:26-29; I Corinthians 10:16)
* We believe in prayer, and whatever the immediate purpose, prayer should be
that God's Will be done on earth (Matthew 6:10; I John 5:14-15)

will help us to pray (Romans 8:26-27) If we ask in faith and in the Name of
Christ, He will hear (John 15:16; James 1:6-7)
* We believe in repentance of our sins of the flesh so we our self's, can be
forgiving.( Acts 3:19; Acts 8:22 )
* We believe that God chose out a special people unto Himself to be His
servants and those servants were to be the descendants of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob called "Israel" (Deuteronomy 7:6; Psalm 105:6; Isaiah 44:1-2 )
* We believe the Bible with God's law, statutes, and judgments was given to
Israel (Exodus 20: Psalm 147:19-20) and through Israel's prophets came the
inspired Scriptures (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21)

law was given for Israel's good (Deuteronomy 5:33) God commands us to obey
civil law (Romans 13:1-7)
* We believe that one day out of seven is the Sabbath of the Lord (Exodus
20:10) and that Israel was to keep it (Deuteronomy 5:15) as a sign between
Israel and the Lord (Exodus 31:16-17)
* We believe Christ became our Sabbath (Hebrew 4:8; Colossians 2:16-17)
(Hebrew 4:9-10) (There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God)
* We believe Israel was to be punished, if God's laws for the nation were
disregarded (Deuteronomy 28:15-68; Isaiah 42:24; Amos 3:2)
* We believe that the New Covenant was made with Israel (Jeremiah 31:31-34;
Hebrews 8:8-12) which meant Israel was to become Christian and that Jesus
confirmed that Covenant (Galatians 3:16-17; Romans 15:8)
* We believe that Israel was promised redemption (Psalm 130:7-8; Isaiah
52:3; Hosea 13:9-14) that Jesus Christ came to Israel (Matthew 10:6) that
He was recognized as the Redeemer of Israel (Galatians 4:5; Titus 2:14) and
His death and resurrection accomplished that redemption (Galatians 4:4-5;
Hebrews 9:12)
* We believe that after Christ's death and resurrection Israel was to be
called by a new name (Isaiah 62:2) Israel was not to be remembered by her
old name (Hosea 2:17) and, the new name was to be the Lord's Name (II
Chronicles 7:14) which would be CHRISTIAN (Christ man) (Acts 11:26; I Peter
4:16)
* We believe that each individual, of Israel or not, must be born of water
(Woman) and of the Spirit to be a Christian (John 3:3-8; I Peter 1:23)
* We believe in an existing Satan, who is called the serpent (Genesis 3:1)
(Revelation 12:9) who has power with devils and men (Matthew 12:22; I Peter
5:8) who has a people who will not hear God (John 8:44-47) some of whom
deceive people as "ministers of righteousness" (II Corinthians 11:13-15)
* We believe that Jesus Christ has broken the power of Satan (Hebrews 2:14)
and His Name makes devils impotent against Christians (Luke 10:17)
* We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ along with His follower's are at
battle with Satan and his follower's (Ephesians 6:11-19) And that Jesus
Christ is the victor in this "battle" (Isaiah 28:21-22; 45:17-25; Ezekiel
38-39; Hosea 13-14; Joel 3:9-21; Micah 7:16-20; Zechariah 14:9; Malachi 4;
Matthew 28:18; Luke 19:27; I Corinthians 15:24-28; Philippians 2:9-11; II
Peter 3:7-13; Revelation 11:18; 15:4; 19:11-15; and others)
* We believe in the resurrection of the dead as prophesied (Job 19:25-27;
Hosea 13:13-14; John 5:29) as proven (I Peter 1:3) as taught by the
Scripture (Acts 24:14-15; I Corinthians 15:11-26) and that the resurrected
will reign with Christ (II Timothy 2:11-12) for ever (Revelation 22:1-5)
* We believe the seventh trump sounds after the Tribulation (Matthew 24:
29-31)
Paul wrote his second letter to the Thessalonians because he knew the first
had been misunderstood, concerning Christ's second return. Paul then gives
two signs which will be present when the Day of the Lord comes. Those signs
being the apostasy and the man of lawlessness. Neither of
these signs were present at that time.
* Apostasy means giving up or renouncing of one's professed principles, or
faith. This will come to pass when the religious lamb (false messiah) of
Revelation 13:11 comes to pass. He will look like the Lamb of God, but his
voice is of the dragon, for he is the great dragon, that old serpent, called
the Devil and Satan (Revelation 12:9) When the false christ stands in the
holy place performing in the sight of Christians, the
pre-tribulation-rapture, Christian shall think it is Christ coming to
rapture them away. It is the duty of the elect to stand and witness in the
synagogues, allowing the Holy Spirit to give His Message to the world
through you. (Mark 13:9) Christ is your Spiritual Husband. You
should remain a Spiritual virgin until He returns (II Corinthians 11:2)
For
Christ Himself said; "Woe to them that are with child in those days!" (Mark
13:17) If your spiritual Husband has been on a long journey and finds you
with child when He returns, then you have been impregnated (deceived) with
the mark of the false messiah, and worshipped Satan in the last hour.
