WE BELIEVE
God wants everyone to live forever in love, joy, and peace. Jesus has done everything that is necessary for this to happen. Salvation, righteousness, and all things needed for abundant and joyful living have been provided freely through the finished work of our Lord Jesus!
Unfortunately, there is a problem in the modern day church; through tradition and the inertia of denominational influence, many believe that their sin separates them from God, and that they must add their own efforts at holy living in order regain God’s favor, come into His favor, or receive blessings from Him. We are part of a growing movement to re-embrace and make known the powerful, finished work of Jesus Christ, the unopposed King of the Kings, Lord of Lords.

• Our God is one, but manifested in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• The Old and New Testaments of the Bible are the inspired Word of God, revealing His Triune nature. These scriptures clearly point to two distinct covenants that God has made; a covenant of law (based on our works and performance in holiness) and a covenant of grace (based on faith in the finished work of Jesus) (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:19-21). The four gospels are still under the covenant of law, but are a transition between the two. These covenants cannot be mixed into a blended approach to God. • Jesus, by his suffering and death, fulfilled the law covenant, paying the penalty for our sin in order to bring humanity into right standing with God (2 Cor. 5:21). • Jesus offers his righteousness to all of humanity. This righteousness cannot be earned or merited, but is a gift received through faith in Him (Ephesians 2:8). • Jesus is our new High Priest, providing perpetual right standing with God. He warned us to not allow the leaven of our works to affect how we relate to Father God; good works and bad works are all “dead” in regard to affecting our standing before God. We can come boldly to God only through the new and living way of Jesus’ own sacrifice and gift of righteousness (Hebrews 9:14). • Jesus’ sacrifice was so powerful that it paid for the sins of the entire world. God is not holding anyone’s sins against them (2 Cor. 5:19) and is not angry at anyone. The sin problem between God and humanity has been taken care of. All of our sins (past, present, and future) have been paid for with one sacrifice by our Lord (Hebrews 10:12). The only question remaining is, “do you believe this?" (John 3:16) Those who believe have eternal life. Those who reject this gift continue to be loved and forgiven by their Lord and Savior even as they refuse his love and consign themselves to eternal separation. (John 3:18). • Jesus' has provided immortality for man and the restoration of all things (2 Timothy 1:10, Acts 3: 20,21). • Jesus' baptizes with the Holy Spirit, who is our Comforter, guides us into all truth, empowers us with spiritual gifts (1 Cor. 12, Eph. 4:11, Rom. 12:6-8) and the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22,23). * God is sovereign in that He is creator of everything and set all the rules, but He does not control everything. He is not the one who kills, steals and destroys. He gave man free-will to choose how he will live his life and the ability to choose or reject Him. • Jesus’ grace alone provides everything we need to reign in life (Romans 5:17). The finished work of Jesus Christ has MADE all believers: worthy, righteous, sanctified, holy, blameless, and perfect in Him: Colossians 1:12 says, "Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy (qualified us) to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light". 2 Cor. 5:21 says, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Heb. 10:10 says, “By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Col. 1:22 says, “He has now reconciled in His body of flesh by His death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before Him.” Heb. 10:14 says, “For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.” There will be a restoration of all things and we shall be on this earth with the Lord forevermore. |

"Free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give (us) free will? Because free will, through it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love, or goodness, or joy worth living."

We reject: Universalism, Trinitarian Inclusion, Post-Mortem Salvation (aka: Ultimate Reconciliation) , Hebraic Christianity, Calvinism, or Performance-based Legalism.
We believe mankind must chose Jesus Christ as Savior by their free-will in order to be "saved", and that their good performance & good works are a fruit of their salvation, not the root.
