​      God

• There is only 1 God existing in 3 divine beings: The Father, Jesus Christ (The Son), and The Holy Spirit. God is the supreme being and is outside of creation. God is holy (incapable of sin), righteous, truthful, just, omniscient (all knowing), omnipresent (present everywhere), omnipotent (all powerful), eternal (always existed and will always exist), loving, forgiving, merciful, kind, compassionate, gracious, faithful, patient, longsuffering just to name a few of his amazing attributes. As we spend more time in the scriptures, we will be able to learn more about God and His character.

      Creation & Fall                   

• All beings (including man) and things were created by God that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible.

• Satan was created as a cherub (among the highest/ most powerful/beautiful order of angelic beings) with the capability of free will. Pride overtook satan and he wanted to be like God rather than serve God. God cast satan and the angels, who were influenced by satan, down from Heaven. He is the chief adversary to God, although of no match to God in power.  After his pride and the fall, Satan's evil nature is sealed and hardened, and he is in opposition to everything God stands for.

• Adam was created on the 6th day of creation. Eve was created shortly after to be Adam's companion. They were also created with the capability of free will. Satan tempted them to disobey God causing sin and death to come into the world. Due to their sin, mankind inherited the sin nature from birth and became separated from the Holy God.

​​

       Salvation​

• Jesus entered His creation by becoming human flesh born of the virgin Mary. Jesus does not have a biological earthly father and is 100 percent God and 100 percent man at the same time. Jesus has never sinned and willfully laid down his life. His sacrifice on the cross was for all past, present and future sins of mankind. He took our sins upon Himself, and his blood was the remission of our sins. Jesus died, was buried and rose again on the third day and ascended into Heaven in glory to His throne until the appointed time by the Father to return to earth to establish His Kingdom.

• Man has no other way for salvation and eternal life with God other than:

  • Admitting/confessing he/she is a sinner

  • Believing Jesus Christ paid for our sins on the cross and is the ONLY way to salvation

  • Calling out to Jesus alone for salvation and accepting Him as the ONLY Lord and Savior. 

• Salvation is an individual decision. Whoever rejects Christ for their salvation will spend their eternity in the Lake of Fire that was created for satan and the fallen angels. You cannot earn your salvation through doing "good works", or by paying money to a church etc. You have to accept the free gift of salvation from Christ and trust in Him alone for His finished work on the cross. Belief in His Son is the only payment that God the Father will accept for the remission of our sins. All who truly believe in Jesus are born again and belong to the body of Christ and is sealed by the Holy Spirit for redemption into a sinless and glorious eternity with God forever and ever. No church ordinances and manmade denominational practices are required for salvation.

• Water baptism is an outward expression of one's salvation. The act alone doesn't save anyone unless they admit their sins, sincerely believe in Jesus Christ as the only Savior, and call out to Him alone for salvation.

• Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God The Father and man. He intercedes to The Father on our behalf. We are to pray to The Father, in the name of The Son Jesus Christ, by the power of The Holy Spirit.

• Our great commission is to preach the good news of our Savior and gather as many people as possible to His Kingdom.

​​

       Bible & Doctrine​

• The 66 books comprising the holy canon of scripture are God breathed to the prophets and apostles who wrote them. God reveals Himself to us through the scriptures and it should be our only reputable source for holy living and to know the will of God. 

• Traditions and man-made denominational doctrines/practices can often be errant and in conflict with God's word and the Bible should be the only source for absolute truth. The bible and its teachings should not be diluted/watered down to make it more appealing and acceptable to mass audience. Rather than glorifying and trusting in famous religious figures, we should be examining anyone and everything in line of the scriptures as many can come in wolves' clothing to lead you astray.

• Therefore, not all supernatural experiences, religious teachings, teachers etc. are from God. We need to test everything like the Bereans. Any teaching against Christ being God and the only source of salvation, offering 'many' paths to get to Heaven, works based salvation, and anything that goes against the bible are to be rejected. Satan and his fallen entities can appear as angels of light and often do to deceive humanity. This includes many popular supernatural apparitions, sightings and appearances, teachers/prophets delivering messages that conflicts with any revealed word of our only true God and Savior. 

​​

      Eschatology (end-times study)​

• A significant portion (1/4th to 1/3rd) of the bible is prophecy. Most of the prophecies have come to pass exactly as is written and we can trust the remaining future ones will be fulfilled exactly as it says as well.

• The scriptures provide explicit details on what happens in the last days/end times. What we are currently witnessing politically, spiritually, geographically, socially etc. all conglomerating and increasing in frequency are signs Jesus mentioned of in the last days.

• Prophecy is not meant to be a fringe/strange topic to be avoided and/or mocked at. It was given to the church to be understood and to help us identify the signs of the last days. The fulfillment of prophecy also affirms our faith in the inerrant word of God and gives us confidence that everything He says will come to pass will at His timing.

• At the appointed time by the Father (which is rapidly approaching as per the signs), Jesus will appear in the clouds to rapture His bride (true believers). At the trumpet, we who are alive in Christ will have our bodies be translated and glorified similar to that of Christ. Those who are dead in Christ (whose spirit are with Christ now) will also receive their glorified bodies during the rapture. After our glorious transformation which will happen one day soon in the twinkling of an eye, we will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and we shall be with Him forever then onwards. Here afterwards, the glorified saints will have their sin nature removed and we will no longer be capable of sin and will be like Christ. Satan will deceive the world into believing the disappearing of believers as some other supernatural element to explain away the rapture.

• After the rapture, the great tribulation will take place for 7 years. The antichrist (also referred to as the beast), a political figure empowered by satan, will rise to power and rule the world. He will be supported by the false prophet, a popular religious figure, who will be working to deceive humanity to worship the antichrist as their god. A series of unimaginably horrible events will take place on earth during the tribulation. Multitudes of humanity will be killed from natural and supernatural causes. The mark of the beast (666) system will be instituted for humans to be able to buy or sell. Whoever that rejects the antichrist and not take the mark of the beast, will be persecuted and killed. A great harvest of souls will happen during this time, and many will come to believe in Christ as their Savior during the tribulation. They will be martyred but they will be saved for eternity with God. Whoever accepts the mark of the beast and follow the antichrist will forever be doomed to suffer eternally in the Lake of Fire. Whoever that accepts the mark of the beast, for whatever reason it may be, will never have a second opportunity for salvation as they pledge their allegiance to antichrist and ultimately satan.

• While the tribulation is happening on earth, the raptured saints will appear before God for the Judgement Seat of Christ. This judgement is not to determine whether they will get into Heaven or not since they are already saved by placing their trust in Christ and will be with Him for eternity. Rather, this judgment is for the rewards a believer will gain/lose based on his/her works while on earth. Therefore, all believers must strive to fulfill their God-given gifts/talents to the most of their abilities to advance God's kingdom and live righteously, as this would influence the responsibilities/rewards etc. that will be given to them in the millennial kingdom of Christ followed by eternity. The great marriage supper of the Lamb will also happen in Heaven during this time.

• After the tribulation, Jesus will return with the saints to judge the wicked and establish His millennial reign. The antichrist and false prophet will be thrown into the Lake of Fire (the eternal destiny for satan and every being that follows him and rejects Christ). Satan will be captured and thrown in the bottomless pit for the 1000 years during Christ's millennial reign so that he can no longer deceive the nations. Whoever that rejected Christ that survived the tribulation on earth during this time will be destroyed. The believing gentiles and jews who survived the tribulation will be allowed to enter the millennial reign of Christ.

• The millennial kingdom will be a period of righteousness on earth where Jesus will rule and reign as King from Jerusalem. The raptured saints with glorified bodies will also rule and reign and serve the nations under Christ based on the responsibility He provides to each. Only the surviving believers from the tribulation will enter the millennium kingdom in mortal bodies as the survivors who rejected Christ will be destroyed at the end of the tribulation. 

• This will be an almost perfect environment with the knowledge of God everywhere, no more wars, animals living in harmony, no violence and disobedience since Jesus the Messiah will be ruling and reigning with a rod of iron (some of the future offspring born during the millennial kingdom will resent God in their heart and reject Him), life expectancy will be greatly increased, nature beautifully restored, peace and righteousness everywhere in a state similar to the Garden of Eden prior the fall of Adam and Eve. 

• After the 1000 years of the millennial kingdom, satan will be released for a short while one last time to test the hearts of man. Even after having been in a perfect environment with Christ ruling and reigning, a multitude of humanity will side with satan during this time to rebel against the Holy God. This act of rebellion again confirms that man is inherently sinful, even in a perfect environment, and reaffirms the need to accept Christ as the only Savior for our salvation and restoration. God will swiftly destroy the army that comes up against Him and satan will be thrown in the Lake of Fire to join the antichrist and false prophet to suffer forever and ever. 

• All men will appear before God for judgement at some point. There are a few resurrections/judgements that will take place upon God's appointed time based on the category man fell under during the various dispensations of humanity. If they put their faith in Him, they will be saved unto eternity with Him. Whoever that rejected Him, will be judged based on their deeds on earth and thrown into the Lake of Fire to suffer various degrees of punishment and eternal separation from God forever and ever. 

• After the final judgement, there will be a new heaven and new earth and glorious eternity where God dwells among the people. There will be no more sorrow, pain, crying, death as He will wipe away every tear and we shall be with Him in glory forever and ever.

• What You do with acceptance or rejection of Christ is the most important decision You will make in this life and for eternity.
