"For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist" (LUKE 21:15)


FROM THE WEBMASTER:
 I believe that The Holy Bible is "Without error, non-errant. In Christianity, inerrancy states that the Bible, in its original documents, is without error regarding facts, names, dates, and any other revealed information." (http://www.carm.org/dictionary/dic_i-k.htm#_1_91)  From the Holy Bible, I believe in GOD, "The supreme being of the universe. He is the creator of all things (Isaiah 44:24). He alone is God (Isaiah 45:21,22; 46:9; 47:8). There have never been any Gods before Him nor will there be any after Him (Isaiah 43:10). God is God from all eternity (Psalm 90:2). In Exodus 3:14, God revealed His name to His people. The name commonly known in English is Jehovah. This comes from the four Hebrew consonants that spell the name of God.
     God is a Trinity, knows all things (1 John 3:20), can do all things (Jer. 32:17,27 - except those things against His nature like lie, break His word, cheat, steal, etc.), and is everywhere all the time (Psalm 119:7-12)." (http://www.carm.org/dictionary/dic_g-h.htm#_1_73).  Trinity means "there are three persons in one God, not three Gods. The persons are known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and they have all always existed as three separate persons. The person of the Father is not the same person as the Son. The person of the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit. The person of the Holy Spirit is not the same person as the Father. If you take away any one, there is no God. God has always been a trinity from all eternity: "From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God" (Psalm 90:2).
     God is not one person who took three forms, i.e., the Father who became the Son, who then became the Holy Spirit. This belief is known today as the "Jesus Only Movement". It is taught by the United Apostolic and United Pentecostal churches, and is an incorrect teaching.
     Nor is God only one person as the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Way International, and the Christadelphians teach (These groups are classified as non-Christian cults).  The Bible says there is only one God. Yet, it says Jesus is God (John 1:1,14); it says the Father is God (Phil. 1:2); and it says the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4). Since the Son speaks to the Father, they are separate persons. Since the Holy Spirit speaks also (Acts 13:2), He is a separate person. There is one God who exists in three persons." (http://www.carm.org/dictionary/dic_t.htm#_1_190).  My Statement of Faith can best be summarized by reading the words of the NICENE CREED and the THE APOSTLES' CREED.  
On a more personal note, I will tell you that I am not a "Pastor" or a "Reverend".  I simply believe in -
"Grace alone
God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
Faith alone
By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
Scripture alone
The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine." (http://www.lcms.org/)
I do not have a "Ministry" and I do not seek to build a congregation.  I do not "confront" strangers in the street and I do not advocate that Christians "turn off" would-be converts by alienating them with accusations and condemnations.  In my daily personal life,  I have found that most people have a spiritual hunger.  Most people at some point in their lives will question what they believe and, when they do,  they will seek out others for advice and/or guidance.   If YOU happen to be the person that someone else has sought out for advice and/or guidance, then my hope and prayer for you is that Our Lord shall "give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist" (LUKE 21:15)
