This page summarizes some of our Bible based beliefs. Anyone who believes that any of our beliefs is heretic or unscriptural is hereby requested to send us a Bible based rebuttal with scriptures proving the unscripturalness of our belief they will be critiquing.
Our summary of beliefs also serves to guide those contemplating to invite us to make informed decisions before inviting us to make presentations to them or before inviting us for Bible doctrines debates. This summary of our beliefs is not complete and so shall continually be updated from time to time. Additionally, we can only give most scriptures proving the scripturalness of each of our beliefs during a Bible doctrines debate or when presenting a teaching on any of our Bible based beliefs.
On the Salvation or the rebirth of our spiritual souls by God: We believe that scriptures teach the following:-
– That ONLY God the Christ our Savior has the sole Authority or responsibility to testify or to reveal to a Godly justified repentant sinner that their sins are forgiven, (Romans 8:16, Mark 2:10, Romans 10:10).
– That the popular practice by many Christian preachers who end their “pastor led sinner’s prayers” by declaring that those they would have “led to Christ” through their prayers were saved by God is clearly heretic according to what is taught by Romans 8:16, Mark 2:10, Romans 10:10 and many other related biblical scriptures.
– Correctly understanding Romans 8:16, Mark 2:10, Romans 10:10 and other related scriptures means that the “Pastor led sinner’s prayer” has absolutely no role to play in the salvation of mankind. In fact, it is an obstruction rather than the pathway to receiving the True Salvation from God the Christ.
– That while those who are born again must subsequently be baptised in water, water baptism is not required for a repentant sinner to be saved. Consequently, scriptures like Luke 23:43 show us that the repentant sinner who was promised Paradise or the Heavenly Kingdom of God by Christ was according to John 3:5 saved by Christ as he hung on his cross besides the Christ even though scriptures show us that he died on the cross before he could be baptised in water, (Jn 19:31-36).
– We also believe that scriptures also abundantly show that Church catechisms CANNOT save anyone.
– Based on our estimate of the percentage of Christians and Christian preachers with a heretic understanding of what constitutes the True born again experience and also on the Bible’s prophetic predictions that only a few people shall be saved (Matt 7:13-14, Lk 13:23-25), we believe that at least 98% of all Christians purporting to be born again are actually NOT born again.
– The born again experience is the most important doctrine in the Bible since scriptures teach that only a person who is born again will enter into God’s promised Eternal Life Kingdom and flee God’s Eternal Punishment, (Jn 3:5, Matt 25:41,46).
– According to what Christ said in John 3:10, no Godly appointed/anointed Teacher or preacher of the Faith Law of God or the Gospel of God the Christ can fail to correctly understand and articulate the True born again experience taught in scriptures. This means that any preacher who preaches heresy about what constitutes the True born again experience is NOT from God but from the Devil.
Continual Salvation or continual Sanctification or continual Spiritual growth: The Bible teaches that after a person is truly born again, just as the body and the mental capacity of a baby grows with time, the Righteousness of progressive saints also grows or continually matures through a process called continual salvation or continual sanctification or continual Spiritual growth, (1 Peter 2:2, 1 Cor 3:2, 14:20, Jn 17:17, Eph 2:25-26, 4:14). Receiving the “Later Rain” Baptism of the Holy Spirit evidenced by miraculously speaking in a tongue, that is, in a language a believer would not have carnally learnt is one of the signs of that Spiritual growth. This growth is also evidenced by a miraculous understanding of scriptures through other scriptures, performing miracles in the Name of Jesus Christ, increased self control, increased generosity, increased patience or endurance etc, (Heb 5:12, 2 Peter 1:5-10).
OSAS – The Once Saved Always Saved “Christian” Doctrine: This is a doctrine taught by Christians who believe that it is impossible for a Truly saved person to Lose their True Salvation from God. We believe that OSAS is a “Christian heresy” because scriptures clearly teach that a Truly saved person can LOSE their spiritual soul salvation or die Spiritually. Genesis 2:17, 1 John 5:16-17 and Exodus 32:33 are examples of scriptures which teach or show that a Righteous person or a truly saved person can die Spiritually or lose their Salvation or Righteousness from God by regressing to wickedness. Additionally, both Testaments of the Bible have examples of biblical characters who LOST their Salvation. Some such characters like Saul the First King of the Jewish Nation of Israel lost their Righteousness or Salvation from God forever. But others Like King David and Peter (one of the 12 Disciples of Christ) successfully repented back to God and so became righteous before God again.
The Trinity. We believe that the Threeness and Singularity of God is clearly and abundantly well articulated in scriptures and therefore rationally and scripturally indisputable.
Climate Change: We believe that scriptures abundantly show that this phenomenon is caused by man’s wickedness and not by carbon emissions as is widely taught and/or believed in the world. We however agree that God wants us to keep our environments (including the atmosphere) clean.
Revelations from the Holy Spirit: A good number of prominent or respected Christian preachers and/or founders of Christian Church denominations have come up with “revelations from God” which however contradict biblical scriptures. However, our Bible based belief is that NO revelation from God can contradict biblical scriptures. Scriptures like 1 John 4:1 and 1 Thessalonians 5:21 which instruct us to test “all spirits” are in fact instructing us to test whether or not “a spirit,” that is, any person wanting to be viewed or regarded by us as a saved Christian and/or a True Messenger of God would be passing or failing the scriptural standards passed by all truly saved Christians and by all True Messengers of God. This therefore means that all revelations genuinely coming from God will always be harmonic rather than contradictory to biblical scriptures. Many biblical scriptures show and emphasize to us that Biblical scriptures are the basic Standard from God by which we test “all spirits” while we are still on planet earth in the flesh, (1 Jn 3:14-15, 1 John 4:1, 1 Jn 5:2). Therefore, if a thought or “a revelation” contradicts biblical scriptures, there is only one conclusion, it is NOT from God but from the contrary Kingdom of darkness, (compare and contrast Matt 16:23 and Matt 16:16-19). Scriptures also show us that while no True Messenger of God can preach heresies about what constitutes being born again, (John 3:10, Deut 13:1-13), all True Christians will however remain heretic in all other doctrines of God they would not have sufficiently understood from scriptures, (Matt 16:23, Acts 18:24-26, Rom 14:2)
The weekly Sabbath Day: Is Sunday the New Testament weekly Sabbath Day? Or do biblical scriptures teach that the weekly Sabbath Day changed from Saturday the Seventh Day of the Week to Sunday, the First Day of the week? Absolutely Yes!
Women Preachers: Does the Bible teach that preaching in Church is exclusively for men? We believe that the Bible teaches that preaching in Church is ordinarily ONLY for men. We believe that the Bible clearly shows that in some very special instances, Spiritually mature women saints can indeed preach in Church. But since preaching in Churches is ordinarily for men, the few women preachers sent by God to preach in Churches must show an exceptional righteousness and an exceptional anointing proving why each one of them was chosen by God to do what is ordinarily for men.
Predestination: We believe that the Bible teaches a predestination based on a divine interplay between God’s foreknowledge and His righteous Will.
What is the Grace of God?: The most popular “Christian definition” for the Grace of God is that it is the unmerited or undeserved favor of God? But is that what Scriptures teach? Certainly NOT! While the ordinary Grace/Mercy of God to all people is given to all human beings, both the wicked and the righteous, however, even that Grace/Mercy of God to all human beings is NOT unmerited or undeserved Favor since it is given to mankind by God in pursuit of His righteous Agenda, (2 Peter 3:9). If God had killed us for the wickedness we had before we were saved we obviously would not have lived to be saved later. And if God kills all wicked people, who then will be the conduit for saints necessary Faith testing and/or Faith strengthening trials and temptations. The other scriptural Truth is that there are many things we mortal human beings erroneously believe to be signs of having the Grace of God upon us or upon other mortal human beings. When our riches or our honorable positions in society become our obstacles to attaining or retaining the True righteousness from God, such riches and honorable positions in society are our curses rather than than our blessings or signs of having the Grace of God upon us, (Prov 30:7-9). As for the Grace of God which rouses God to save us, scriptures like Romans 5:2 are crystal clear that the saving Grace of God is merited or warranted by the recipient’s sufficient obedience or Faith or wholehearted belief in God. So which is the “unmerited Favor/Grace” of God popularly preached by MOST of our Christian preachers?
Is human effort essential for Salvation? Because many Christian preachers preach the heresy that the saving Grace/Mercy of God is God’s unmerited or undeserved Favor, they also preach the heresy that human effort has no role to play in the salvation of mankind. While we are not saved solely for our human effort or by our efforts but by the Holy Spirit, (the Spirit of Christ), all people who are saved or born again were also saved by the Holy Spirit for their human effort because without it no one will be born again for doing nothing to be saved. Human effort enables us to do what obedient or repentant human beings can humanly do and should humanly do to rouse God to divinely help them to get to the supernatural repentance stage which alone rouses God to save all truly repentant sinners, (Matt 7:21, Lk 6:46, James 2:26, Rom 2:13, Lk 13:24, Eph 2:8, Mk 4:11-12, 2 Cor 7:10, Psalm 32:3-5, James 1:22).
The things which human beings can humanly do and must humanly do to be supernaturally saved include carnally hearing/learning the Word of God, confessing and forsaking our sins, praying to God, meditating on the Word of God and every form of striving to diligently obey both the carnally learnt/heard Word of God and the convicting Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit or the Presence of our Lord God the Christ is also scripturally referred to as our Helper (Jn 14:16, Heb 13:6 ), God the Christ helps those who are humanly striving to be born again by sending them His Divine Help or Power or convicting Spirit whose interplay or interaction with our efforts will become the supernatural or Godly repentance or the supernatural Faith which alone rouses God the Christ to save us, (Eph 2:8, Mk 4:11-12, 2 Cor 7:10, Psalm 32:3-5). Obviously if the saving Grace of God or the saving Holy Spirit was heartily received even by human beings who were doing nothing or putting no effort to be saved and NOT through the divine interplay between our human efforts and the supernatural Help we receive from God, all the wicked people doing nothing to be saved would have all been saved.
Because God has already availed to us everything we need to be born again, that is, (His carnally learnable/hearable Word in the Bible and from His True Messengers and also His convicting Living Word or His Spirit who helps obedient learners/hearers of His Gospel to get to the supernatural Faith or the supernatural obedience or the supernatural repentance stage which rouses God to save us), surely what now prevents us from being born again is the absence of our own human effort whose interaction with the convicting Holy Spirit produces the supernatural repentance which alone rouses God to save us, (Mk 4:11-12, 2 Cor 7:10, Psalm 32:3-5, James 1:22, Eph 2:8).
The Freeness of Salvation: One of the reasons why most Christians and most Christian preachers have accepted heresies about what the Grace of God means and also about whether or not human effort is necessary for Salvation is because they do not understand the Freeness of Salvation spoken about in scriptures. We believe that biblical scriptures show that the Freeness of salvation neither refers to the fact that human effort is not necessary for salvation nor the fact that the saving Grace of God is not given to those who deserve it through Faith, (Rom 5:2). On the contrary, the Bible shows that when biblical scriptures say that God’s Salvation to us is absolutely Free to us they mean that this invaluable Divine Attribute from God to mankind is neither for sale nor would it be purchasable by any human being if it were for sale to us. Scriptures like Romans 5:2 and many others are abundantly clear that the Free Gift of Salvation is not given to anyone without preconditions, (also see Matt 7:6, James 1:22). Only those who have sufficient Faith in God will receive this Free Gift or this not-for-sale and unpurchasable Gift from God because only such people “deserve” this unfathomably precious Free Gift from God since this Living Free Gift from God to mankind cannot Live in oneness with wicked human beings.
Tithing: Should New Testament saints Tithe? Absolutely Yes. That’s what God’s Faith Law scriptures teach. The doctrine that New Testament saints should NOT Tithe is a relatively new Christian heresy. But just as there are always enough Faith Law scriptures to sufficiently rebut all heresies, there are also enough Faith Law scriptures to sufficiently rebut this relatively new Christian heresy.
Prophecy, miracles and True Messengers of God: Is performing miracles and making prophecies which come true by invoking the Name of Jesus Christ the ultimate proof that any doer of such things is a True Messenger of God? While all True Messengers of God perform miracles and prophesy invoking the Name of Jesus Christ, a person does not prove that they are a True messenger of God by doing such things, (Matt 7:21-23, Deut 13:1-3). A person who does these things must also correctly preach the True born again experience and also live uprightly to pass “the litmus test” of being correctly regarded as a True or righteous Messenger of God. The Devil has many False prophets performing many amazing miracles to deceive many people to worship the Devil by believing his charlatans whom the Devil has deployed in large numbers into the world, (Matt 24:24, Matt 7:21-23, Deut 13:1-3).
Shall the Rapture of the saints happen Before, During or After the Great tribulation: We believe it is crystal clear that the Bible teaches that the Rapture of the saints shall happen AFTER the Great Tribulation, (Matt 24:21-23, 29-31). Many other scriptures support this biblical doctrine. In fact, no other biblical scripture teaches anything to the contrary.
Salvation and homosexuality: Can a saved person also be gay? The Bible clearly teaches that homosexuality is an iniquity or a Spiritual death sin. Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 6:9 (in all uncompromised Bible translations) clearly say that homosexuals will NOT enter/inherit the Eternal Kingdom of God. Since all Truly saved people will no doubt enter into God’s Eternal Life Kingdom (Jn 3:5), if homosexuals will not enter/inherit the Eternal Kingdom of God, there is only one logical conclusion, a person cannot be gay and truly saved at the same time. We are not oblivious of the fact that some Bible versions have been wickedly doctored by their translators to conceal this Godly Truth. We however thank God that we still have the Source Text of the Bible and so we can see those who are trying to adulterate scriptures by trying to wickedly sanitize homosexuality through their wicked mistranslation of scriptures. But scriptures like Romans 1:26-8, 1 Timothy 1:10, Leviticus 20:13 and many others also teach that homosexuality is wickedness which means that a “Christian” practicing homosexuality is definitely not yet born again since a saved person is righteous rather than wicked before God. A truly or sufficiently repentant homosexual will stop practicing homosexuality as part of their supernatural or Spirit assisted repentance which alone leads to True Salvation. We have many saints who were redeemed from homosexuality by Christ through His supernaturally convicting Holy Spirit.
Judge Not (Matt 7:1): Does this verse forbid all people to make all kinds of judgements? This scripture is one of the most misunderstood scriptures in the Bible. The Truth is that this verse ONLY forbids sinners to hypocritically judge or condemn other sinners who do the exact same sins they also do, hence Romans 2:1,3. and Matthew 7:3-5. Yes, as Romans 2:1,3 clearly says, we all know that there are many sinners who in public hypocritically condemn other sinners doing the very same wickedness they also do in secret. Besides, True saints (without “the proverbial plank” in their eye) do not judge according to their own unscriptural thoughts or decisions or judgments. On the contrary, they judge according to scriptural and Spiritual guidelines for testing “all spirits,” (1 Jn 4:1, 1 Cor 2:15, John 8:16, John 5:30, 1 Jn 2:20). Their corrective righteous judgements are in fact encouraged since they are done with sincere Love to remove “the proverbial log or speck ” from their brother’s eye, (Matt 7:5, 1 Cor 2:15, Gal 6:1). A person who will not make judgments using scriptural guidelines will believe every “spirit.” And anyone who believes every “spirit” without scripturally and/or Spiritually testing or judging “every spirit” will no doubt believe the Devil’s many miracle working false prophets, false pastors, false apostles and so such a person will believe the Devil by believing his many Bible quoting proxies masquerading as True messengers of God.
