Statement of Beliefs
I. The Bible is the Word of God; and the Word of God is Jesus
But know this first of all,
that no prophecy of Scripture is of one’s own interpretation,
for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will,
but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
(2 Pe 1:20-21 NASB)
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable
for teaching, for reproof, for correction,
for training in righteousness;
so that the man of God may be adequate,
equipped for every good work.
(2 Tim 3:16-17 NASB)
Every word of God is tested;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Do not add to His words or He will reprove you
and you will be proved a liar.
(Pr 30:5-6 NASB)
For the word of God is living and active
and sharper than any two-edged sword,
and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit,
of both joints and marrow,
and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
And there is no creature hidden from His sight,
but all things are open and laid bare
to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
(Heb 4:12-13 NASB)
Then he said to me,
“Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited
to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ ”
And he said to me,
“These are true words of God.”
Then I fell at his feet to worship him.
But he said to me,
“Do not do that;
I am a fellow servant of yours
and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus;
worship God.
For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
And I saw heaven opened,
and behold, a white horse,
and He who sat on it called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness He judges and wages war.
His eyes a flame of fire,
and on His head many diadems;
and He has a name written
which no one knows except Himself.
Clothed with a robe dipped in blood,
and His name is called The Word of God.
(Rev 19:9-13 NASB)
I testify to everyone who hears
the words of the prophecy of this book:
if anyone adds to them,
God will add to him the plagues
which are written in this book;
and if anyone takes away
from the words of the book of this prophecy,
God will take away his part
from the tree of life and from the holy city,
which are written in this book.
He who testifies to these things says,
“Yes, I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
(Rev 22:18-20 NASB)
