Our Beliefs
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Our beliefs are based on the Bible. While
many who visit these pages may agree with
our beliefs, there are also many who
probably won't... even though we all read
the same Bible. It seems to be fairly typical
of us humans! With that said, our beliefs are
open for discussion, but they are not open
for argument. We're not trying to change
your beliefs, and you can rest assured you
won't change ours. Even Paul and Peter
disagreed from time to time, and I'm quite
sure they both made it to Heaven! We will
share our beliefs with you and welcome you
to share yours...but please don't try to force
them on us and we'll offer you the same
courtesy! *smile*
1. Salvation comes only through Jesus
Christ. And salvation comes through Jesus
Christ only. In other words, we believe we're
saved by the blood of Jesus and the blood
of Jesus alone. We don't believe we're
saved by the blood of Jesus and this, that
or the other. Our take on the whole
salvation thing is that His blood was, indeed,
sufficient to take care of our sins.
2. We believe that as long as you have
accepted Jesus as your Savior, that you,
also are saved.. whether we agree on the
rest of it or not!
3. We believe that God doesn't change... that
He is the same yesterday, today and
forever. Based on that belief, we believe
also in miracles, so get used to it! *smile*

4. The miracles we believe in include,
among many other things, healing. We don't
just believe in it, we expect it! Doesn't mean
we always get what we expect, in the way
we expect it, but we expect it anyway.
5. We believe the Bible is the living word!
What it meant back then, it means today.
6. We believe that no one is beyond
salvation because of their sins.
7. We believe that there is nothing God can't
do...except, of course, sin.
8. We believe that we do face a competent
and rather ingenious enemy, but we also
believe that we have authority over him and
the weapons he has available to bring
against us.
9. We believe in Heaven and hell, and that if
you've accepted Jesus as your Savior,
you're going to Heaven. If you haven't, you
won't...which leaves only one other choice.
10. We believe in God the Father, God the
Son, and God the Holy Spirit...that they are
separate, yet they are One.
11. We believe that together we can help
each other learn to overcome the shadows
the enemy throws into our paths to lead
more productive lives here on Earth for our
God, and that this, in turn, will lead others to
join His Kingdom.
