MY BELIEFS

I believe that the search for truth should be a never ending part of life. We can never learn enough. Whoever thinks that he knows it all, has so much left to learn. Truth is infinite. I believe we are taught certain things along the way. We may read the scriptures, and not find something until we have read it 100 times! This is because it is hidden from us, and there is a time in our lives when it is right to know about certain things. The Holy Spirit will reveal to us when it is time.

As you may have heard it said, you can't feed meat to a babe in Christ, they still need the milk. It is a learning process, and we will never learn all of it. Only when we finally see Glory, will we know all. Amen!

I believe in God as the creator of all things.
I believe Jesus Christ is God's son.
I believe the Holy Spirit guides us now.
I believe in the Trinity.
I believe in the gifts of the Spirit.
I believe that we each have a guardian angel.
I believe in Heaven and Hell!
I believe baptism is a symbol of obedience to God.
I believe in the power of prayer!

It is very important to know that we are not under the law. Jesus gave two new commandments, but essentially they comprise all 10 found in the Old Testament. Matt. 22:37-40, Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Now if you think on these two commandments and keep them, there isn't any way you would commit any of the 10 that are listed in the Old Testament.

Now I know as a human it is impossible to follow those commandments perfectly. (For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.)
Romans 3:23. But Praise the Lord! Jesus took our sin when he died on that cross! All we have to do is accept him. It is so simple. There is nothing we can do, nothing. We can't buy it! We don't deserve it! It is a gift freely given! And I also believe it cannot be taken away. If a person is truly saved, then God will never forsake them. He says it plainly in His Word! He will never leave! Amen!

And therefore, I believe Once Saved, Always Saved! Now this is not a license to sin. No by all means! But if you truly have a repentant heart and want to be a child of God, you will not have that desire to willfully sin! That is to PLAN to sin. We all accidentally can fall into anger, or jealousy. But we repent, and God forgives. How many times will he forgive? As many as it takes! Amen!

But we are commanded to "Go and Sin No More!" Meaning we stay away from those who would tempt us into sin. "Cast not your pearls before swine." And I believe we should be witnesses to the world. However you can spread the gospel, then do it. And we must all have humility. We must realize that we alone are nothing! We need Christ in our lives. The Holy Spirit guides us, without him we would be lost.

Most of us know what is right and wrong. And no amount of "well, so and so said it was okay", will work. Read the Bible, it is mostly clear on what we should and shouldn't do. And we know deep down if we are doing something that is against the Holy Spirit, because we will feel his displeasure. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit! We must keep them clean. But we cannot do it on our own. Give all your worries and troubles to God.Pray without ceasing! The Holy Spirit takes our prayers to God and tells him our needs in a way that we couldn't possibly do.

Be quick to forgive and slow to take offense. Think before you speak out in anger. Look through
eyes that see the good in your brother. Help your friends and family....and neighbors! If you have the Holy Spirit, you should have a spirit of love. Read Galations 5:23 to find out what qualities you should have. Very important. But keep in mind, we are not perfect, and while in this earthly form, we never will be. But we are to keep trying to attain it. We should try our very best to be like Jesus! Praise God!

Well, I also believe that I have gone
on long enough! LOL God Bless You, and I would love to hear from you, so sign my guestbook or email me! Take Care!

Philippians 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God: and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
