I believe the Holy Bible was authored by God and written by men inspired of the Holy Spirit. I also believe the Bible to be the written revelation of Jesus Christ guiding all men in heavenly instruction. The Holy Bible is true and without error. God will indeed judge us on the principles provided in His Holy Scriptures. Jesus is my supreme standard. My conduct, opinions, and creeds should align with him according to God’s revealed plan.

I believe in the one true and living God, JEHOVAH! God is the Master and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth. God is holy and worthy of all honor, praise, confidence, love, and glory. In the unity of the Godhead there are three persons; the father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each expressing distinct and harmonious aspects of the Revelation of God. Gen 18:1; Psalms 2:7; Luke 1:35;4:41; Deuteronomy 6:4; 32:6; 1 Chronicles 29:10; Psalm 19:1-3; Isaiah 43:3,15; 64:8; Genesis 1:1; 2:7; Exodus 3:14; 6:2-3; 15:11ff.; 20:1ff.; Leviticus 22:2; Jeremiah 10:10; 17:13; Matthew 6:9ff.; 7:11; 23:9; 28:19; Romans 8:14-15; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Galatians 4:6; Mark 1:9-11; John 4:24; 5:26; 14:6-13; 17:1-8; Acts 1:7; Ephesians 4:6; Colossians 1:15; 1 Timothy 1:17; 1 Peter 1:17; 1 John 5:7; Hebrews 11:6; 12:9. I believe humanity was created in holiness for a relationship with God.
The Term Paper on Holy Spirit in John’s Gospel
The person of the Spirit is mentioned 12 times in Matthew’s Gospel Ghost, 6 times in Mark, Luke refers to him15 times but John does so 17 times. With these relatively small differences why is John’s gospel considered to be in someway more Spirit orientated than the writings of the evangelists? The answer lies in part in the ‘Signs’, events which the Synoptics refer to as ‘might works’. Each of ...
In voluntary transgression humanity created a chasm separating themselves from the holiness of God, the direct consequence being all humans are now sinners; an action done by choice and not constraint. Humanity rests under the just condemnation of eternal ruin without defense or excuse. Genesis 1:26-30; 2:5,7,18-22; 3; 9:6; Acts 17:26-31; Romans 1:19-32; 3:10-18,23; 5:6,12,19; 6:6; 7:14-25; 8:14-18,29; 1 Corinthians 1:21-31; 15:19,21-22; Ephesians 2:1-22; Colossians 1:21-22; 3:9-11; Psalms 1; 8:3-6; 32:1-5; 51:5; Isaiah 6:5; Jeremiah 17:5; Matthew 16:26. I believe salvation of sinners is a gift of divine grace. Our mediator, Jesus, under the direction of God the Father, freely took on the nature of humanity, but without sin; in obedience honored the divine law and in death became the complete atonement for humanity’s sin; He has arisen from the dead and is now enthroned in heaven. He is in every way qualified to be our all sufficient Savior.
I believe the blessings of Salvation are free for all individuals accepting God’s gift with a penitent, cordial, and obedient faith. Nothing on earth can prevent the greatest sinners from receiving salvation except their own inherent depravity and voluntary rejection of the gospel. Rejection will involve an individual in an aggravated condemnation. I believe justification to be the heart of the gospel. Secured in Christ Jesus, justification is the pardon of sin and the promise of eternal life. Justification is not based on our own principles of righteousness, but only through faith in our redeemer’s blood. In our faith His perfect righteousness is freely imputed to us of God; that justification brings us into a state of most blessed peace and favor with God.
I believe sanctification to be the progressive work of the Holy Spirit in the life of every child of God. This work began at regeneration and is carried out in the hearts of believers by the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit, growth in the Word of God, self-examination, self-denial, watchfulness, and prayer. I believe in order to be saved, sinners must be regenerated, or born again. Regeneration is giving a holy disposition to the mind; that it is affected in a manner above comprehension by the power of the Holy Spirit; in connection with divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the gospel; and that its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance, faith, and newness of life. I believe repentance and faith are sacred duties and inseparable graces. Repentance and faith are tools of the Holy Spirit. In our deep conviction of guilt and helplessness, we repent of our sins.
The Essay on Local Church God Faith 1962
INTRODUCTION Quote from Literature Many people try to discredit what the Bible teaches, but my faith comes from God, through his word, The Holy Bible. Billy Graham wrote, "Because the Bible is God's inspired Word, it does not contradict itself or teach falsehoods-because God cannot lie. We may not understand every detail of Scripture, but we must never lose sight of the fact that it is God's Word ...
Our contrition, confession, and supplication for mercy are received compassionately by the Jesus, who serves as Prophet, Priest, and King. In our restoration I rely completely on the only holy and sufficient Savior. John 1:11-14,29; 3:3-21,36; 5:24; 10:9,28-29; 15:1-16; 17:17; Acts 2:21; 4:12; 15:11; 16:30-31; 17:30-31; 20:32; Romans 1:16-18; 2:4; 3:23-25; 4:3ff.; 5:8-10; 6:1-23; 8:1-18,29-39; 10:9-10,13; 13:11-14; Genesis 3:15; Exodus 3:14-17; 6:2-8; Matthew 1:21; 4:17; 16:21-26; 27:22-28:6; Luke 1:68-69; 2:28-32; 1 Corinthians 1:18,30; 6:19-20; 15:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Galatians 2:20; 3:13; 5:22-25; 6:15; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-22; 4:11-16; Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians 1:9-22; 3:1ff.; 1 Peter 1:2-23; 1 John 1:6-2:11; Revelation 3:20; 21:1-22:5; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24; 2 Timothy 1:12; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 2:1-3; 5:8-9; 9:24-28; 11:1-12:8,14; James 2:14-26. I believe Election to be God’s means of providing salvation to the world through Jesus Christ, His Son, in His sacrificial living and dying. Election is given at no merit of our own, but in consideration of our accepting Him as Savior. Genesis 12:1-3; 1 Samuel 8:4-7,19-22; Isaiah 5:1-7; Jeremiah 31:31ff.; Exodus 19:5-8; Matthew 16:18-19; 21:28-45; 24:22,31; 25:34; Acts 20:32; Romans 5:9-10; 8:28-39; 10:12-15; 11:5-7,26-36; 1 Corinthians 1:1-2; 15:24-28; Ephesians 1:4-23; 2:1-10; 3:1-11; Colossians 1:12-14; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14; 2 Timothy 1:12; 2:10,19; Luke 1:68-79; 2:29-32; 19:41-44; 24:44-48; John 1:12-14; 3:16; 5:24; 6:44-45,65; 10:27-29; 15:16; 17:6,12,17-18; Hebrews 11:39-12:2; James 1:12; 1 Peter 1:2-5,13; 2:4-10; 1 John 1:7-9; 2:19; 3:2.
I believe that a visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ; governed by His laws; and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His deacons, who qualifications, claims, and duties are defined in the Epistles of Timothy and Titus. Acts 2:41-42,47; 5:11-14; 6:3-6; 13:1-3; 14:23,27; 15:1-30; 16:5; 20:28; Romans 1:7; Matthew 16:15-19; 18:15-20;1 Corinthians 1:2; 3:16; 5:4-5; 7:17; 9:13-14; 12; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:8-11,21; 5:22-32; Hebrews 11:39-40; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Revelation 2-3; 21:2-3;Philippians 1:1; Colossians 1:18; 1 Timothy 2:9-14; 3:1-15; 4:14. I believe Christian baptism is a solemn and beautiful emblem of our faith in the crucified, buried, and resurrected Savior. A believer is immersed in water under the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit expressing our death to sin and resurrection to new life. Baptism is a prerequisite to the privileges of a church relationship and the Lord’s Supper; a time when Believers commemorate the eternal love of Christ by the sacred use of unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine. The Lord’s Supper is always preceded by a time of solemn self-examination. Matthew 3:13-17; 26:26-30; 28:19-20; Mark 1:9-11; 14:22-26; Luke 3:21-22; 22:19-20; John 3:23; Acts 2:41-42; 8:35-39; 16:30-33; 20:7; Romans 6:3-5; 1 Corinthians 10:16,21; 11:23-29; Colossians 2:12.
The Term Paper on How Does Miller Portray the Relationship Between John and Elizabeth Proctor in Act 2?
Elizabeth is shown as a very kind-hearted, gentle woman through her treatment of her children, however when John Proctor enters the house he hears Elizabeth [singing softly to the children]. Miller shows her maternal tenderness and her gentle motherly nature and her kindness is shown when she exclaims how, 'it hurt my heart to strip her, poor rabbit'. Miller uses juxtaposition to convey her ...
I believe in the Lord’s Day, a Sabbath day. A day of rest and reflection is commemorating the resurrection of Christ. I believe this day is to be kept sacred for the observance of private and public worship. Exodus 20:8-11; Matthew 12:1-12; 28:1ff.; Mark 2:27-28; 16:1-7; Luke 24:1-3,33-36; John 4:21-24; 20:1,19-28; Acts 20:7; Romans 14:5-10; I Corinthians 16:1-2; Colossians 2:16; 3:16; Revelation 1:10. I believe civil government is a divine institution created for the interest and good order of human society. I believe civil authorities are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored, and obeyed.
Obedience should be carried out except in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus. I believe Christians should exercise their responsibilities and privileges within civil government. I also believe we are to pay taxes and if necessary defend our country by service in its armed forces. John 8:36; Acts 4:19-20; Romans 6:1-2; 13:1-7; Galatians 5:1,13; Philippians 3:20; Genesis 1:27; 2:7; Matthew 6:6-7,24; 16:26; 22:21; 1 Timothy 2:1-2; James 4:12; 1 Peter 2:12-17; 3:11-17; 4:12-19.Isaiah 2:4; Matthew 5:9,38-48; 6:33; 26:52; Luke 22:36,38; Romans 12:18-19; 13:1-7; 14:19; Hebrews 12:14; James 4:1-2. I believe the end of this world is near and we are to be watchful. In the last days Christ will return; descending from heaven he will raise the dead from their grave for final retribution.

In the end a day of judgement will be a day of separation. The righteous will inherit eternal life with God in heaven and the wicked will be separated for all eternity in hell. This judgement will be based on the principles and precepts God has provided for humanity in the revealed word of God, the living testimony of Christ, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 2:4; 11:9; Matthew 16:27; 18:8-9; 19:28; 24:27,30,36,44; 25:31-46; 26:64; Mark 8:38; 9:43-48; Luke 12:40,48; 16:19-26; 17:22-37; 21:27-28; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:11; 17:31; Romans 14:10; 1 Corinthians 4:5; 15:24-28,35-58; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Philippians 3:20-21; Colossians 1:5; 3:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18; 5:1ff.; 2 Thessalonians 1:7ff.; 2; 1 Timothy 6:14; 2 Timothy 4:1,8; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 9:27-28; James 5:8; 2 Peter 3:7ff.; 1 John 2:28; 3:2; Jude 14; Revelation 1:18; 3:11; 20:1-22:13.
