I Believe...
​
In God the almighty, creator of everything that exists
That God is the glue, the gluon, that keeps protons together in atoms
That nothing exists without His Will
That God’s Will has been done and will be done
That God loves His creation, especially mankind
That God has given humans the power of choice
That humans have only two choices: good or evil
That the Bible is the word of God through his prophets
That the prophets’ veracity has been tested by predicting the future in their lifetime
That God’s creation was perfect
That the devil was allowed by God to test Adam and Eve
That Adam and Eve failed the test but did not repent of their sin
That since this failure, disease and death was introduced to the Earth
That since Adam and Eve, humans are born naturally sinful
That the only way to get back in God’s good grace is through repentance
That God established the shedding of innocent blood in exchange for forgiveness of sins
That in the First Covenant the blood of sacrificed innocent animals covered for our sins
That in the Second Covenant the blood of Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness
That all religions are humankind’s attempt to reach God
That God’s intent was always to reach down to humankind by His word
That God over time sent many prophets to give specific messages, but they were mistreated
That God sent His only begotten son to live among us to teach us, to heal us, and to save us
That God (Elohim) is one, but composed of three distinct personages: The Father, the Son, and the Spirit
That humans were created to live forever
That every human will bend their knees and confess that Jesus is LORD (Jehovah)
That only those that make this confession while on their physical bodies will live forever in glorified bodies in the presence of God
That humans are born natural and can only become spiritual when accepting Christ
That when someone accepts Christ, Christ becomes that person’s life Savior and Lord
That any attempt to become spiritual other than through Christ is self-righteous
That God only accepts in His realm righteous persons
That when someone accepts Christ, he or she is covered by His righteous blood
That when someone accepts Christ, his or her name is added to the Book of Life
That those whose name is written in the Book of Life will live and eventually reign with Christ
That even after accepting Christ in our life we sin, but sin now hurts our spirit and are compelled to ask for forgiveness on the spot
That after accepting Christ in our life we become special targets of the devil
That the devil is defeated with prayer and sometimes with prayer and fasting
That prayer is conversing with God, having a personal relationship with Him
That prayer should be constant, with praises, thankfulness, and requests
That we should praise the fact that He offered His only son to pay for our sins
That we should be thankful for what we have and for the revelation of Christ to us
That requests to God should be conditioned with “if it is Your will”
That the devil is a created being and therefore does not have God’s power or might
That reading the word of God speaks to us and renews our spirit
That the word of God must be read daily to keep fresh in our minds His will in our lives
That God wants our faith to be based on a thoughtful process, not on “blind faith”
That God wants us to challenge His word until we are ready to believe
That the word of God foretells the coming of Christ to heal and to save us
That when believers physically die, they immediately are in the presence of God in new bodies
That believers, once in the presence of God, are crowned depending on their righteous works
That the Bible foretells the future rapture of the Church and the tribulation of those left behind
That the tribulation period is 7 years, as described by Daniel and detailed by John the Apostol
That the tribulation is the result of God’s wrath from His righteous indignation against sin
That the tribulation and hell was not designed for people, but for the devil and its demons
That in the absence of the Church, the devil and its demons will have free reign on Earth
That evil will be personified by a charismatic leader who is called antichrist
That the first 3.5 years will be a worldwide bonanza and peace ruled by this antichrist
That during the tribulation a one world economy and one religion will be established
That everyone will be forced to wear a below the skin identifier chip in the forehead or the hand
That those without the chip will not be able to work, buy anything, or travel
That after the Third Temple is built, this antichrist will demand to be worshiped as god
That when the Jews will refuse to worship him, there will be another major Jewish persecution
That this persecution will trigger God’s wrath as described in the Book of Revelation
That those that refuse the chip and to worship the antichrist will be beheaded
That the last 3.5 years will culminate with the defeat and the confinement of the devil by Christ
That the Bible foretells the second coming of Christ with his Church at the end of the tribulation period
That during the White Throne Judgment, Christ will separate the good from the evil
That Christ will reign on the Earth with His Church over the good people for 1,000 years
That after the Millennium Reign the devil will be allowed to test the people for one last time
That after this, the devil will be confined forever, and a new earth will be created
