The Bible is the inspired Word
Of God. It gives a true history of the creation of the heavens, the earth, and
of mankind. It contains the correct prophecy of the ages to come regarding the
heavens and the earth, and the destiny of man. Furthermore, there is no
salvation outside of that which is contained within its pages.
There is only ONE GOD:
the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and of all
mankind. This One God, the I
AM, is manifested
(revealed) to mankind as FATHER
(Creator), SON
(Savior)(1 Jn.5:20), and HOLY GHOST
(indwelling Spirit) (Rom. 8:11). God is a Spirit (John 4:24), the Eternal One,
the Creator of all things, and of all men. Thus making Him their Father (through
creation) (Malachi 2:10). The LORD is the FIRST and
the LAST, and beside Him there is no God (Isa.
44:6).
There was no GOD FORMED before him,
neither shall there be after Him (Isa. 43:10). Jesus is the SON of God according
to the flesh (Rom. l:3). Jesus is the very God Himself according to the Spirit
(Matt. 1:18-23). Jesus is the Christ (Matt. 16:16). Jesus is the Creator of all
things (Col. 1:16, 17; Jn.1:10; Isa.40:28). Jesus is God with us (Matt. 1:23).
Jesus is God made flesh (John 1:1-14). Jesus is God manifested in the flesh (1
Tim. 3:16). Jesus is He which was, which is, and which is to come, THE
ALMIGHTY (Rev. 1:8; Isa. 9:6). To this, Jesus
Himself testified when He said: "He that hath
seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:7-11).
Since it took shedding of blood for the remission (forgiveness) of the sins of
the world (Heb. 9:22), God as the Father, being a Spirit, had no blood to shed;
so He prepared a body of flesh and blood (Heb. 10:5), that He might fulfill the
prophecy of Isa.43:11, "Beside ME there is no
SAVIOUR". Thus, when Jesus was born into the
world, he was Jehovah our Saviour (that is the meaning of the name Jesus), the
one God of the universe, the Lord God Almighty, born as a man. This caused the
angels to sing, "For there is born this day in the city of David. a SAVIOUR.
which is CHRIST THE LORD" (Luke 2:11).
The Holy Ghost is not the third person in the Godhead! The Holy Ghost is the
Spirit, Jesus Christ coming to dwell in the hearts and lives of those who
receive him. That is why, when speaking of the Spirit, Jesus said "I will
not leave you comfortless, I will come to you" (John 14:16-26; Rom 8:9; 1
Cor.13:5). So, THERE ARE NOT THREE PERSONS IN GOD,
but three manifestations of the ONE GOD. God is the Saviour, and his saving
name, is now revealed to men as JESUS. Therefore JESUS is the name of God.
SALVATION consists of deliverance from sin through the blood of Christ. This is
accomplished by REPENTANCE from sin, WATER BAPTISM
IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST for the remission (forgiveness) of sins,
and receiving the BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST with the evidence of speaking in
other tongues, and the continuance of a godly life
(Acts 2:26-41). |
