The following are some of
the basic Bible truths, as we have been led by the Holy Ghost to
understand, that we stand for:
*
The Trinity (God the Father, God the Son
and God the Holy Ghost) 1 John 5:6-7 “This is he
that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but
by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because
the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
*
The Bible is the Inspired Word of God and
that God has preserved His Word through the Authorized King James
Bible. Psalms
119:89 “For ever, O LORD,
thy word is settled in heaven.”,
Psalms 12:6-7 “The words of
the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified
seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
this generation for ever.”
*
That man, a created being, by his own
choice sinned against God bringing upon himself damnation and the need
for a Saviour.
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:”
*
That Salvation is only by the Grace
of God through Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and the shedding of His
Blood. Ephesians
2:8-9 “For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.” 1 Peter 1:18-20
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things,
as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition
from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the
foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,”
* The Virgin birth of Christ. Matthew 1:23
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a
son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,
God with us.”
* That Jesus Christ was sinless and walked
on the earth as God in the flesh. 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.”
* The physical death, burial and
resurrection of Christ.
John 19:33 “But when they
came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his
legs:” Mark 15:46
“And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in
the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and
rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.” Matthew 28:5-6 “And the
angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye
seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he
said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
* The preservation of those born again into
the family of God. 1 John 5:13 “These
things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of
God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe
on the name of the Son of God.” John 10:28 “And I give
unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any
man pluck them out of my hand.”
* That Salvation is for whosoever that will
receive Him when convicted by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is
not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that
all should come to repentance.” Romans 10:13 “For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
* A real and literal eternal Hell for the
lost (Revelation 20:12-15 “And I saw the dead, small and great,
stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was
opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those
things which were written in the books, according to their works. And
the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered
up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according
to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the
book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”), and a real and
literal eternal Kingdom of God for the Saved (John 14:1-3 “Let
not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my
Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I
am, there ye may be also.”).
* The two ordinances of the Church; the
Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:23-26 “For I have received of the
Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same
night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks,
he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for
you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took
the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my
blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as
often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's
death till he come.”), and Water Baptism by Immersion (Matthew
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:”),
(Colossians 2:12 “Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are
risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath
raised him from the dead.”) .
* That the Church will be called away in a
Pretribulational Rapture. Revelation 4:1
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven:
and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking
with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which
must be hereafter.”
*
The Premillenial Second Coming of Jesus
Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them
which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also
which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 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. 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: Then 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these
words.”
*
Marriage is a Sacred union between one man
and one woman until parted only by death. Matthew 19:4-6 “And he
answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them
at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause
shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and
they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one
flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
asunder.” Leviticus 18:22
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination.” Romans 1:26-27
“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even
their women did change the natural use into that which is against
nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which
is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error
which was meet.”
These are some of the
basic Bible Truths that we stand for, but our first priority is to
Preach Jesus Christ and Him Crucified that sinners might be Saved.
