What I believe


I endorse the New Hampshire Confession of Faith as a representative compendium of what Baptists have historically believed through the centuries. This confession, while dated in 1833 constitutes what I hold to be a true confession of what the Bible teaches. Of course there is no such thing as a complete confession, unless you were to somehow manage to quote the whole Bible and break out every doctrine and practice in orderemoticon This one does provide a fairly nice and comprehensive list as a foundation to build on though. There is another version that I have placed on my own website BMA Doctrinal Statement which is almost identical.

Re: What I believe


 I was raised Southern Baptist. I have a real issue with denominational lines. I am now a member of the Christian Church, which is non-denominational. I believe that Christ is what is most important,The Holy Bible teaches us about Jesus and it teaches us the absolute truth. Written by man, inspired by God.We as a Church study the Word of God (Holy Bible) The doctine of our church is very simple. We believe that all men are sinners, We believe in the virgin birth,the cucifixtion, the resurrection and the trinity. There is only one way to the Father and that is through the Son.
There is no other way. Thats it. emoticon emoticon

Re: What I believe


Almost everyone here has no trouble when it comes to defining the person and work of Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Here is a nice question.... How would you say God's work is different from that of his Son? Is God active in his work today? Why do we call him "The Father"?

I think that is 3 questions Pastor

 emoticon
But here we go. Why do we call God "The Father"? God is creator of all things, he is the provider of everything and the maker of law. Is God active in His work today? Of Course He is. As most Christians, I know when I pray God is listening. If I didn't believe that why would I pray at all? Paul tells us to devote ourselfs to prayer (1 Cor.7:5)and to be faithful in prayer. Would Paul encourage us to be faithful in Prayer to a God who does not act to answer them? God has done wonderful things in my life especially since I returned to him 2 years ago. I know God is active.

O.k I started at the bottom for a reason. Your first question.How does Gods work differ from His Sons work? This one has me really thinking (Thanks, seriously)and I am really not sure. Study coming up. I would appreciate you help on this one.

John 10: 36-38 says

 36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

 37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

 38But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

Jesus himself He does the works of His Father. I therefore believe that their work is the same and both are active in it today. If you notice Jesus says we are to pray in His name to the Father and The Father will answer. I believe that God speaks it and Jesus performs it, just like His crucification. God told the Old Testament prophets about the coming of the Messiah who would die for them. Jesus in the fullness of God's time was born on Earth and over the years He was doing God's work right up to dieing on the cross and then arising on the third day. God Spoke it and Jesus done it! So I believe their works are the same.
Maybe this will help you.
May GOD Bless YOU!

"Their works are the same." I tend to agree and that is somewhat what I was thinking yesterday.Pastor Rick made a post on Christian World regarding discussing our beliefs and how people tend to shy away for fear of being wrong. I must have gotten caught up in that yesterday. Thanks!

O.K Pastor Rick, we await your comments.

Re: What I believe


Hi everyone,

I think the work of God and the work of Jesus are different. Observe...

John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Here the crowd was asking Jesus what they could do to work the works of God. Jesus then identified the work of God as faith (in a nutshell that is). In this case Faith in what God had done, you have to believe God sent Jesus or you are going nowhere...
 
John 6:30 They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

Here they are asking for a sign of some kind to prove God really sent Jesus (I guess it slipped their mind that Jesus had just fed 5,000 with next to nothing) then they asked what the work of Jesus was and provided the following example of what they were looking for...
 
John 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

Yup, they had already forgoten the feeding of the 5,000! I shouldn't be to surprised by this though since I can barely remember what day of the week it isemoticon Anyway, Jesus then told them what his work was... see...
 
John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
John 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world...

The work of Jesus is to give us life. To receive it though we must have faith in God that Jesus is the one that was sent by God.

Their work is synergystic, each one is miraculous but without both we are still dead in our sins.

Re: What I believe


Most denominations believe the same up to the shed blood, then thats where it splits up.
Some denominations have addons like water, works, recieving the spirit, just to name 3.
All 3 addons all 3 diff denominations, and all 3 saying you have to have these plus Christs sacrifice and resurection to obtain salvation.
I follow the Southern Baptist statment of faith. My previous church was connected to the SBC, moniterly/quidelines, etc etc. My church now is not tied to the SBC but follows their statement of beliefs.

Re: What I believe


 The only thing required for salvation is the belief that JESUS was/is the SON OF GOD and died on the cross for your sins and was resurrected on the third day. Nothing else is required (example the theif on the cross).

  Everything else is just mans window dressing and the Devil uses it to confuse people. He uses it on those who have not been saved to keep them from being saved, He uses it on those who have been saved to keep them arguing over who is right instead of doing GOD'S works. When we listen to these arguments and try to argue with other Christians about whose doctrine is right we only hurt the works that GOD wants us to do.
  The church that I pastor is a Baptist Church. we are part of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, and we have contributed to the SBC cooperative program. A few years ago when we had to move our church the question came up about leaving the Baptist family and being non-denominational or inter-denominational. One member asked if they thought changing the Name or being non-denominational would change the way I preached or the way anybody in the church acted or believed. When everyone said that they didn't think changing the name or the association with the Baptist conventions would change a thing about us and our beliefs then we voted 100% in favor of staying just like we were including the name and the affiliations.
  I believe that all Christian Churchs should get along together and work for the advancement of GOD'S Kingdom. If we would quit fighting amongst ourselves over whether we should be immersed or sprinkled, whether we should speak in tongues or not, whether the music should be old time gospel or conteporary, and so on and all just agree that we are different and still we are GOD'S Children then we could do a whole lot more for GOD. As an example, those of you who have childre will see what I am talking about here, are all your children just alike. Do they all like the same music, the same foods, the same drinks, and so on. well if the children in your family can all be different then why can't the children in GOD'S family (US) be different from each other.
 Does it make a difference whether your neighbor speaks in tongues, or was sprinkled, or wants a deacon instead of an elder at the church if He is in need of help aren't we supposed to help him like a god Samarian, or do we walk by like the preist?
  Well my soap box time is up next contestant please!

MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!!
