I believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, and was in the form of sinful flesh, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended back to the right hand of the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us.
My supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. I am not denominational, nor am I opposed to denominations as such, only to their over-emphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ.
What ever God will give us, He has already given to us in His Son.
What ever God will say to us, He has already said it in His Word.
I believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our services to HIM are to be with great emphasis upon Prayer and the teaching of the Word of God that He might save.
I believe that people are not born with a "sin nature" but, recieved the "original death" from Adam and therefore we are in weakness, natural, earthy, and have a living soul(Corinth 15:42-45) that needs to be spiritualy united with Christ.
From our first accountable sin we became spiritualy separated from God and responsible for our own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ sacrifice on His cross and acknowlage His resurection, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.
Eternal Life is knowing Jesus, the only true God(John 17:3). Eternal Life causes a changed life, a new view on life, and a new motive for everything that you do. In these new aspects of your life will become actions or works that give a testimony of Christ in you. In other words, just as you don't work to get a job; but it is that you work because you have a job. So it is that you don't work to be Righteous; but that you work because you are righteous.
These works of faith are works from Love.
