ARTICLE III TENETS OF FAITH

The human phraseology employed in this statement is not inspired nor contended for, but the truth set forth is held to be essential to a full Gospel ministry. No claim is made that it contains all the truth in the Bible, only that it covers fundamental matters.

1. THE SCRIPTURES ARE THE INSPIRED AND INFALLIBLE WORDS OF GOD  

The Bible, found in the King James (circa 1900 Cambridge Edition) is the complete inspired words of God, and the Word of God is not just the obvious Message of Salvation, but is the words of God and is the full revelation from God to men and is contrary to reason of the natural man and is foolishness to them that perish.

a)       The Holy Bible has always existed and was fully Canonized in 1611 by the King James Translators and Edited to it infallible current edition in 1900 in the Cambridge Edition of pronunciation Edition (Pure Edition).Any changes, additions, or subtractions of this Pure Edition are subject to the judgments of God found in these very Scriptures.

Revelation 22:18  For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

Revelation 22:19  And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

DEU 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

DEU 12:32 What thing so ever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

PRO 30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

b)      Revised versions of the “Bible” such as, but not limited to NIV, NASV, NKJV, etc… are perversions of the Word of God and are harmful to the Salvation of Souls, and are completely and fully rejected as heresy and are to be barred from authentic consideration.

2 Corinthians 11:4  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

c)       Therein there has been several editions of the King James Holy Bible starting in 1611 AD, in God’s purpose all though these editions contained, typo, printing errors, spelling language standardization, have been purified in the in the Cambridge Pure Edition circa 1900, copies done by others are to be scrutinized for errors for their differentia. 

2. THE ONE TRUE GOD

There is one true God by simultaneously existing as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, three separate persons, but are one.

Deuteronomy 6:4  Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

Mark 12:29  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

1 John 5:7  For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Matthew 17:5  While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 

3. MAN: HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION

Man was created good and upright, for God said, .Let us make man in our image and after our likeness. But man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Romans 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 

Galatians 3:22  But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 

Isaiah 53:6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 

4. THE SALVATION OF MAN

A. Conditions of Salvation

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Ephesians 1:13  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Titus 3:5  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Ephesians 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

B. Evidences of Salvation

Galatians 2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

John 15:7  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Mark 16:17  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

Mark 16:18  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

1 John 3:3  And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

1 John 4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

Although believers may lay hands on the sick and they do not recover it does not exclude them as a believer however if indeed they do recover it is may be sign of a believer, as many things are includes in the meet of repentance.

5. BAPTISM IN WATER

The ordinance of baptism by burial with Christ should be observed (as commanded in the Scriptures) by all that have repented of their sins and in their hearts have believed on Christ as their Saviour and Lord. In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have also been

released to walk with Him in newness of life

Matthew 28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Acts 19:2-7

Romans 6:4  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

1 Peter 3:21  The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

6. THE LORD’S SUPPER (COMMUNION)

The Lords Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and fruit of the vine, is the symbol of the common faith that expresses our sharing in a memorial to His suffering and death, and prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined to all believers until He comes.

JOHN 6:48  I am that bread of life.

49  Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

50  This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

51  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

52  The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

53  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

54  Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

55  For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56  He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

57  As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

58  This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

LUKE 22:19  And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

20  Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

1 Corinthians 11:25  After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 

26  For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

7. THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER

All believers should ardently expect and earnestly seek the Promise of the Father, which is the baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire. With it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry

Luke 24:49  And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. 

Acts 1:4  And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 

Acts 1:5  For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 

This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the New Birth.

Acts 2:38  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

Acts 19:2  He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 

8. SANCTIFICATION PROCESS

By the holy Spirit of promise we strive to obey the command, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

John 17:19  And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.  

Ephesians 1:13  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 

Sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s words.

Leviticus 20:7  Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. 

1 Peter 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

9. THE CHURCH

The church is the holy body of Christ, the habitation of God through the

Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer is an integral part of the Church, and their names are written in the Lambs Book of Life.

Matthew 16:18  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 

Acts 7:38  This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: 

Acts 11:26  And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. 

Ephesians 1:22  And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 

Ephesians 1:23  Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

1 Peter 2:5  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 

1 Timothy 3:15  But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.    

The Church is simply the group of believers following Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

10. MINISTRY

Divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our

Lord for a Three-fold purpose:

(1) The evangelization of the world, and

Mark 16:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 

(2) The edification of the body of Christ

Ephesians 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 

12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

The Ministry of Jesus Christ requires an individual to be armed spiritually and physically, which includes the Bible and  guns and ammunition, (sword).

Ephesians 6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 

Luke 22:36  Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 

1 Timothy 5:8  But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

The Ministry of Jesus Christ requires one to civil minded, including voting responsibly and adhering to the Constitution of the United States. 

1 Peter 2:13  Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 

Romans 13:1  Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 

(3) Civil Responsibility

The Ministry of Jesus Christ requires that in being Civil minded that one be not ruled by evil and wickedness, but war against it.

Ephesians 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The Ministry of Jesus Christ requires that in being Civil minded that one be aware of the liberty, which in this country, United States of America and the State of Utah, under which this corporation is established that we should stand fast in the Bill of Right under the Constitution of the Untied States, as it is rightfully administrated.

Galatians 5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.   

11. HEALING

Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of all believers.

Isaiah 53:5  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Matthew 8:17  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. 

Mark 16:18  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 

A.      Vaccines 

The Bible teaches that the truthfulness of an issue is to be sought and should stand on no less than two or more witnesses (Deuteronomy 19:15).  The following is the result of a study on biblical parental responsibility in regards to the practice of unclean, unsafe vaccines.

·    A diligent study on vaccine safety and effectiveness reveals that there are many informed and qualified researchers and doctors who have found and teach that there are many serious health risks involved with vaccines.   The Comprehensive Child Health Immunizations Act of 1993 made known the fact that there are risks to vaccinations by stating “Vaccine information should be simplified to ensure that parents understand the benefits and risks”.  Congressional Records (2000 – 2003) have shown that the pharmaceutical companies are more concerned with profit than they are with safety and have knowingly used toxins in the manufacturing of vaccines regardless of the risks.

·    The Bible teaches us that children are a gift from God (1 Timothy 5:8). Some vaccines are produced using aborted baby lung tissue, which are man and government profiting from the murder of our innocent children.  To partake in vaccines is to support that individuals/government that no longer has respect for the sanctity of human life.   

·    The Bible teaches that the parents are entrusted with the care and welfare of the child.  (1 Timothy 5:8).  Parents, not the state, are responsible to make health care decisions on behalf of their children. 

·    The Bible also teaches that there have been times in history when evil government and government employees have attempted, through force or color of law, to intimidate, harm or destroy the children of God’s people. (Exodus 1 and 2/ Matthew 2).  Therefore, if a parent feels that vaccines are not safe, it is their responsibility to defend our children from and individual or government who is attempting to subject our children to those vaccine risks. 

·    The Bible teaches that the body is “The temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own.  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)  To inject known neurotoxins into our children, which have known health risks, would be a violation of these biblical teachings.

·    The Bible teaches that there are clean and unclean animals and that God’s people are not to put the unclean into their bodies.  Many vaccines are made from the blood of diseased animals, decomposed animal parts and are not sterile.

·    The Bible teaches that when man’s law contradicts God’s law, His people must obey God over man. (Acts 5:29) Therefore, be it known, should any policy, edict or legislation of man decree our children must be vaccinated, we must obey God rather than man just as Moses’ parents of old, we will do so without fear. (Exodus 2)

·    The Bible teaches us that we are not to harm or wrong our neighbor. (Romans 13:10 and James 2:8) Our decisions to decline vaccines do not wrong or threaten our neighbor. If vaccines were truly effective, the neighbor would not be in danger from someone who is not vaccinated.

Therefore, be it known, that based upon the teachings of the Holy Bible, it is our religious conviction not to have our children or ourselves vaccinated.  We desire to be at peace with those who may feel or think differently than we do on this issue and that is why we humbly explain the choice we have made.  We will protect our children from the injection of neurotoxins, retroviruses and foreign animal proteins that are in vaccinations. 

B. Foods & Water 

Genesis 1:29  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Food is to be carefully taken in account of, in that it sustains life with proper use and preparation. Food and water should be stored for times of shortages due uncertain times, natural disasters, and bio alteration of the natural seed bearing foods. This includes organic food, animal meats, and herbs for natural healing.

Genesis 41:48  And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same. 

C.       Health Care

Physicians are a great blessing for injuries and necessary surgery that assist natural healing . However, this should not be applied to pharmaceutical medications outside the need to fight infection and pain. We invoke the right to refuse secular or government health care as is our personal religious freedom guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America. (You can see the entire of the U.S. Constitution text and that of the Bill of rights on our Patriot page.)

Revelation 18:23  And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 

D. Tattoos and other demarcations of the Body

These practice should not take place with believers and is an act of rebellion, however it is unnecessary or always practical to remove tattoos that where received prior to being born again.

Leviticus 19:28  Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. 

1 Corinthians 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?       

12. THE BLESSED HOPE

The Resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation, together with those who are alive and remain unto the Lord, is imminent and is the blessed hope of the church.

1 Thessalonians 4:16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

 Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Titus 2:13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 

1 Corinthians 15:51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 

1 Corinthians 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 

13. THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF JESUS

The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven, the salvation of national Israel, and the millennial reign of Christ on the earth are scriptural promises and our hope.

2 Thessalonians 1:7  And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 

Revelation 19:15  And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 

Revelation 20:6  Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 

14. THE LAKE OF FIRE

The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and whosoever is not found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

Revelation 19:20  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 

Revelation 20:14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.  Revelation 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 

15. THE NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH

We, as promised in the scriptures, look for a new heavens and a new earth wherein dwells righteousness

2 Peter 3:13  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 

Revelation 21:1  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 

16. THE GIFT OF TONGUES AND TONGUES

The gift of tongues is a spiritual gift given to some believers when they are baptized in the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 12:10  To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

1 Corinthians 12:28  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

1 Corinthians 14:39  Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 

17. THINGS TO COME BEFORE THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST

The Scripture foretell certain things to come wherein applicable warnings are issued, before the return of Jesus Christ and that we are to watch and pray, and as a religious freedom to resist and prepare for these events or even as a safety an assumed or perceived event of threats. These items of concern are threaded thru out the scriptures and apply to current and last day perceptions, such as but not limited to; being marked or implanted with a chip or such things as, will not be acceptable and is against our religion.

Revelation 13:16  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
