What Do You Believe?
I believe in one God and one Lord, Jesus Christ. I believe another name for God is Holy Spirit. I believe that at the new birth we receive the gift of holy spirit which is God's gift to the believer.
This one gift has nine manifestations, speaking in tongues, interpretation, prophecy, etc.
I do not believe one has to believe in the man made doctrine of a triune God. I also believe that it is not supported in scripture.
I believe Jesus was born of a virgin and 100% man, not God. He was prophesied throughout the Old Testament starting in Genesis 3:15.
He was totally human and sinless. He is the first one to obey and love God perfectly. He is the only man to have fulfilled the requirements of the law and was the perfect sacrifice to redeem mankind, which he did. He died on the cross (FYI God cannot die) and was raised from the dead by his father.(he did not raise himself)
He was fully persuaded that God would raise him after 3 days and 3 nights.
Because of his obedience, God highly exalted him to be Lord over the church, and he is my Lord and my hero.
He is actively working through his church today and he is "the express image" of the living God. He is just like his father, loving, gracious, merciful and kind.
He always did and does, the Father's will. He died and and took all our sins upon himself to save us from the coming wrath of God.
He also took all our sickness and deceases, (by his stripes we were healed) he took our poverty, (he became poor so we might be rich). All this is available to the Christian today and forever. That is why I have confessed him as Lord in my life and that is why I love him.
