Statement of Faith
We believe in the Sovereignty of GOD-
We believe that the Hebrew language is configured to express “Verbs of Motion” that make it impossible to be contradicted in their usage. Due to their motions, they commit to Hebrew semiotics which connects the nature of the ancient Semitic-Hebrew culture and their participation/expression of GOD’s Verbal motion
We believe that the Grammar of the Hebrew language of the Old Testament governs the expressed Theology of the Old Testament
We believe that the Grammar of the New Testament Greek of the New Testament governs the expressed Theology of the New Testament
We believe that the Grammar of the Old Testament and the Greek New Testament conveys a larger Theological message. This message requires Old Testament and New Testament socio-linguistic agreement. This larger message cannot be disassembled by arguing against the New or Old Testament. One needs the other. Evolution of thought is found in Old Testament to New Testament contiguous thought. Again, a greater coherancy is produced by joining these 2 Testaments.
We believe in being students of Philology, with emphasis on the Southern Russian/Georgian-Kartvelian and Proto-Iranian Languages due to their proximity of the Biblical EDEN)
We believe that there is an etymological deviation of semiotic commitment engendered by the American Language and that the language of American-English is now a degenerate language from its parents: Anglo-Saxon, Old English, Jacobean to Victorian English.
We do NOT believe that the English New Testament, such as the King James, earlier Geneva, later N.I.V., or any other modern language which attempts to convey the Word of God ‘is without error’
We believe that there is no more need for water baptism. There were 7 forms of ‘baptisms’—{cf. Walter Dale’s 5 volume treatment on “Baptisms”. Such baptisms were Judaistic-body washing ordinance for entrance into Jerusalem, Judaistic Temple brazen sea washing, Prophetical-Messianc-Johannine *Baptism*, Pagan, respectful Christian Baptism of the ordinance of the Jews, and the infinitive case for the Pauline “Fiery Baptism of Trials”.
We believe all types of “baptisms’’ served their religious-cultural purpose for a particular ‘law, priestly-course-ordinance-command, social ordinance, statute, portent (prophetical attribute), sketch, shadow and/or type. All Baptisms were different and ALL have completed their shadow, sketch and type for the modern Baptism sent by the Holy Spirit for Trials in our lives that worktogether to confirm the Word of God in conjunction with the Will of the Father (this belief of the Holy Spirit’s “Fire” is to be distanced from modern day ‘Pentecostalism’).
We believe that the LORD’s Supper was and is a communion or community event that should occur every day as we come together to commemorate JESUS’ life He led for us versus another ordinance, statute or law.
We believe that The Grace of Christ Jesus will, by the WILL of the heavenly Father, will always abide in us regardless of our sin. This is our only hope for eternal life. We do not believe that you ever have to doubt your salvation.
We believe in the inerrancy of the Word of God, as GOD, used fallible men, being Supernaturally guided by the Will of God, to write “THE STORY” of Salvation for ALL of HUMANKIND from the beginning of time to the End of the Ages. .
We therefore have no judgment on anyone for their religious practice, creed, ignorance, intelligence, life-style, etc…..
We ONLY have our studies and life-styles to exemplify the Beauty of Christ in us.
We believe that God, from before the foundation of the world, has sovereignly and universally saved all humanity through Jesus Christ.
As Ephesians 2:1 and 5 declare: “καὶ ὑμᾶς ὄντας νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασιν καὶ ταῖς
ἁμαρτίαις… καὶ ὄντας ἡμᾶς νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασιν συνεζωοποίησεν τῷ Χριστῷ” — we
were nekroi, dead in our sins, completely unable to choose God. Yet God Himself
synezōopoiēsen us — He made us alive together with Christ. Dead people don’t reach out; God reaches in.
This was no afterthought. Romans 8:29–30 tells us: “οὓς προέγνω, καὶ προώρισεν συμμόρφους τῆς εἰκόνος τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ” — those He foreknew, He also proōrisen, predestined, to be conformed to the image of His Son. Ephesians 1:4 adds He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world.
Even our response is His gift. Ephesians 2:8 says, “by grace you have been saved throughfaith, and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.
” Philippians 2:13 confirms: God works in us both to will and to act according to His good pleasure.
God’s heart is clear: 2 Peter 3:9 — “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
” The Greek boulomenos shows His deep desire for every person.
And He has already decreed it. Colossians 1:20: “καὶ δι’ αὐτοῦ ἀποκαταλλάξαι τὰ πάντα εἰς αὐτόν” — through Him to apokatallaxai ta panta, to reconcile all things to Himself, whether on
earth or in heaven, making peace through the blood of the cross.
This cosmos restoration culminates when, as Philippians 2:10–11 says, “every knee shall bow… and every tongue exomologēsētai that Jesus Christ is Lord, ” the same confession that Romans 10:9 says leads to salvation.
Therefore, because we were dead, because God alone chose and quickened us, because He
desires all to be saved, because He has reconciled all things, and because every tongue will confess Jesus as Lord, we confidently declare: God has universally saved us all in His sovereign, predestining grace.
