I believe:- There is only one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit an eternal unity of three persons.
- Christ is the eternal Son of God, through whom all things were created and the character of God is revealed.
- Christ offered Himself as a living sacrifice, died as our substitute, was resurrected and ascended to heaven where He is interceding for us before God the Father.
- Christ will come a second time to gather His faithful people and bring them to heaven for 1000 years where they will judge the lost.
- The Holy Spirit, in harmony with the scriptures, leads us into all truth.
- The Bible, as the divinely inspired word of God, reveals God's will, sets standards for character, acts as the test of experience, reveals the true doctrine, and records God's acts throughout history.
- The law of God is an expression of His will. Christ obeyed the 10 commandments as an example to us. By the Holy Spirit whom strengthens us, our goal is to become Christ-like. We are justified by faith, however, obedience to the law (mainly the 10 commandments), demonstrates our love for the Lord (1st 4 commandments), and our concern for our fellow human beings (the last 6 commandments).
- The wages of sin is death, but eternal life is a gift of God. At the second coming of Christ the righteous dead will be resurrected, together with the living righteous. This is the 1st resurrection. Until this great event occurs however, "the dead know nothing" and are in their graves in a state of total unconsciousness.
- The return of Christ will be a literal, visible, boisterous, worldwide event. Not a single living person will be unaware of His return. The righteous will be taken up and the unrighteous living will be destroyed by His brightness of His return. (2Thes.2:8) When Christ returns a great earthquake destroys earth's landscape and it's man-made structures, and the earth remains void of human life for 1000 years. "...they shall not be lamented, neither gathered nor buried; they shall be like dung on the face on the ground" (Jer.25:33).
- After 1000 years, the people of the 1st ressurection return from heaven with Christ inside the New Jerusalem which will come down to settle upon the earth. At this time the ressurection of the wicked will take place. Satan is free again to deceive the lost into one final battle for God's kingdom. God then rains fire upon the whole earth to consume all. (Rev.20:9) This is called "the lake of fire". The fire will go out however, and "...they will be ashes under the soles of your feet..." (Malachi 4:3). From out of the ashes, God will create a new heaven and a new earth with no trace of sin, sickness, pain or suffering. The Great Controversy will be ENDED and His saved will live forever upon this NEW earth.
I also believe:
*** Babylon is the name God gives to all the confused religions. If your church does not follow the commandments of God, it is part of Babylon.
***The final test of obedience will be over worship. Many who call themselves Christians will think they are doing God's work, however, they will break God's laws to obey the laws of US government and the Catholic church.
*** The Papacy is the Little Horn power of Daniel 7:8 and also the 1st Beast of Revelation 13. It is the Mother of all Harlots. P.S. A Harlot is any denomination who still follows any of the false doctrines of the mother church.
*** The United States of America is the 2nd Beast of Prophecy in Revelation 13.
***The MARK (666) is the acceptance of a Sunday Law which will force WORSHIP of the Catholic church.
*** SOON, a Global banking system will be in place that will track every purchase and ever sale made by every person on earth.
***A financial sanction will be issued against anyone refusing to pay homage to the church. Eventually, a death decree will be issued upon those refusing to follow the Catholic Church or it's false system of worship.
*** Presently, God's true children are scattered throughout every Christian denomination worldwide. Shortly after the Sunday law is enforced by the USA, God's children who are still in Babylon will recognize God's warning and will "come out her" and stand with the members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church "which keep the Commandments of God and have the (TRUE) Testimony of Jesus Christ".(Rev.12:17)
***The 7-last plagues described in Revelation 16 will fall only on those who ignore the laws of God. These plagues WILL NOT harm God's faithful.
*** The King James Version of the Bible is the most reliable of English translations.
*** God's saving grace is sufficient to keep me from sinning.
*** If you are saved, you can subsequently choose to be lost. Your name can be removed from the Lamb's Book of Life.
In conclusion:
You may mingle a little poison to a wholesome meal, however, the results are deadly. So it is with sin. If we mingle a little lie in with wholesome truth, and you eat it up, the result is just as deadly.
The ultimate fate for those who reject God's laws, is eternal death. The ultimate fate for those who say Yes to God and His laws is eternal life.
I prayer this message will spread LIFE like a fire into every heart who hears. You may have important changes to make if you want to follow Christ completely.
If are not worshiping with a commandment keeping church, check your phone book for the nearest SDA church location. Don't hesitate to call. Plan to visit this coming Sabbath and ask for upcoming seminars or FREE study guides
to help build your walk of faith. You will find God's people wonderfully warm and loving.
In Jesus precious name.
