WHAT I BELIEVE

It's all about Him (Jesus). I care about people and where they will spend eternity. Being connected to the lives of others is very important to me. I have very conservative religious and political values. I believe in supporting whoever is in office at all levels of government, with prayer. God says they are the instruments of peace in the world we live in. I am not only a believer in Christ, but a follower. I believe that we are all called into this life with a purpose and destiny assigned by God and when we understand that, receive it and live it out according to the Word of God, we will be counted among the Bride of Christ at that great Wedding Supper of the Lamb. We are all born in sin; have lived a life of sin; but are made new when we confess and turn from our sins and receive the free gift of Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord. We are not perfect but do not practice sin. And if we do sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us so that we continue walking in the Light as He is the Light. God gave His Son, Jesus laid down His life, so that none should be lost. If we miss the promise of Eternal Life in Heaven, we are responsible for the outcome...... I am a pilgrim and stranger on this earth, here on assignment, an ambassador for Christ, and long to see the Jewish roots restored to the church of today. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. "May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels." For the sake of my brothers and friends I will say, "Peace be within you." For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your prosperity. Psalm 122:6-9 WHAT I BELIEVE: •In the verbal inspiration of the Bible. •In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. •That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor. •That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins. •That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. •In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost. •In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. •In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost. •In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. •In the nine gifts and the nine fruits of the Spirit as taught in the New Testament, healing is provided for all through the sufferings of Christ. •In the pre-millennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years. •In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked. FAVORITE QUOTES Jesus said, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is not greater commandment than these." (Mark 12:29-31)
