About My Beliefs
"I subscribe to a literal, historical, grammatical interpretation of scripture.
Literal means I believe the bible is the inspired word of GOD to be taken at face value unless there is compelling reason to do otherwise (usually indicated in the context of the passage).
Historical means that each passage is put into its proper historical setting, and surrounded with the thoughts, attitudes and feelings prevalent at the time of writing.
Grammatical means that words are given meanings consistent with their common understanding in the original language at the time of writing.
I believe in the imminent return of our Lord for His Church (The Rapture), to be followed first by a period of judgment (The Great Tribulation) and then His final return to Earth with His church to Rule and reign for 1000 years (The Millennium).
That mankind is hopelessly lost due to sin and, destined for destruction, can only be saved by the completed work of the Lord on the cross through the regenerative power of the Holy Spirit. No amount of human effort or good work will suffice in lieu of this and none is required or necessary to supplement it.
That our salvation is laid up in heaven, free for the asking, granted to everyone without condition or prejudice, out of the incomparable riches of God's grace.
That each human can, and indeed must, individually seek this salvation by choosing a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus.
That all who ask will receive, all who seek will find, and to all who knock the door will be opened. It is our Father's will that all who look to His Son will be saved.
That once this relationship is sought and granted it can never be revoked or relinquished. Having been granted irrespective of merit, it will be preserved in like manner.
That the only true church is that invisible body of believers from all walks of life and every denomination and faith who have trusted Him and only Him for their redemption. "

MAN
the natural man.His spiritual
condition.
the natural man.His spiritual
condition.
• Man was originally created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was alienated from his Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.
• Man's nature is corrupted, and he is thus totally unable to please God. Every man is in need of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
• The salvation of man is wholly a work of God's free grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justified them in His sight.

JESUS did'nt die that cruel death on a roman cross to "fix" our life,to make us "better"people and
to grant us a "carefree" life.....I don't care what the TV evangelists say or the big poppies of any
organized religion preach and proclaim from their golden pulpits,the true GOSPEL is JESUS plus
or minus NOTHING!
HE DIED TO PAY THE PRICE that WE OWED to GOD because of our SIN and SINS!
An INFINITE OFFENCE ( our SIN) to GOD requires an INFINITE PRICE to be PAID in FULL, a price that,
me or you couldn't pay because we are spiritually bankrupted!
We better FACE IT,we better accept it,let's not gamble with our "ETERNAL DESTINY", it is HEAVEN or
HELL, no middle ground,it is ETERNAL SALVATION or ETERNAL CONDAMNATION, so we better come to our senses while we are still alive and TURN to JESUS and confessing to HIM our desperate
sinful condition, let us ask HIM to save us and ACCEPT and RECEIVE HIM before it could be too late.
Ok , this radical message is not "my" message,I didn't think it and i am not making it up,this radical message is in THE BIBLE,is HIS MESSAGE,so we better believe it and receive it.
I am not going to make this pill sweet,I am not going to adulterate and change HIS WORD,I am not
going to water down the message.
It is LIFE or DEATH,you choose,please choose LIFE,choose JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and
SAVIOUR and HE WILL SAVE YOU ETERNALLY the moment you call on HIM to save you,because
Jesus means "I AM THE LORD GOD YOUR SAVIOUR",He is the SAVIOUR par excellence.
CALL on HIM and BE SAVED.
