What Do We Believe?
1. We believe in the doctrines of grace,
meaning we do not believe the "free-will" gospel is the true gospel, but rather
man is spiritually dead and cannot and will not "accept" the true Christ as his
"all in all" until and unless God imparts the new life into him. In this
area we are similar to Reformed Baptists and Reformed Presbyterians.
2. In regards to the doctrines of grace and
many other doctrines we are in agreement with
Family Radio,
John MacAthur, and
Chapel Library.
There are areas of doctrine in which we disagree with Family Radio, or in
particular with the teachings
of Harold Camping (Family Radio's president), primarily his "end of the
world" predictions and his "end of the church age" declaration.
3. We believe that the scriptural pattern for
doing church is to meet in homes in a much more interactive (yet orderly) format
than most conventional churches. We along with other people on the net
(such as the
NT Restoration Foundation) encourage
others to look into house churches and all that goes into them. Home church
meetings are often run similar to Brethren churches to some extent where the men
take turns teaching, whether or not they went to seminary.
4. We strongly believe that all Christians
should be continually involved in making disciples, testing the spirits, and
proving all things in the local church and anywhere they go.

beliefs can be found HERE.

If you examine most of
what is at our web site you will perhaps know better what we believe
than what your own church leadership believes. |
