Statement of Faith

1. There is one true God [Jer 10:10; Jhn 17:3, 1Th 1:9 ] eternally existing in three persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit [Mat 28:19] -- each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.

2. Jesus Christ is God, the Living Word, one with the Father, coming forth from the Father, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit, being born of a virgin. [Jhn 1:1, 14; 1 Jhn 1:2; 5:7, Rev 19:13; Jhn 10:30;Jhn 16:28;Isa 9:6;Isa 7:14; Phl 2:6]

3. Jesus Christ in his physical manifestation upon the earth was the Son of God, the son of man, the Father in the flesh. Although He was perfect Deity and humanity united in one person, He emptied himself [Phl 2:6-8] and lived as the son of Man, a servant, sent in the likeness of sinful flesh [Rom 8:3], after the seed of Abraham [Heb 2:16], made lower than the angels, like unto “his brethren” [Heb 2:9,17], not resourcing His divinity to please Himself [Jhn 5:19,30;6:38; 8:48; 14:10; Rom 15:3] or walk as God [Phl 2:6-8; Heb 2:9,17], but resourcing (living by) the grace of God brought to Him by the ministry of angels [Jhn 1:51], to live by the words of God’s mouth (grace) in order to please God and do His will, thus setting a pattern of expressing faith to God for all humanity who would believe on Him, to also ‘live by grace’. [2 Cor 8:9; Luk 22:27; Jhn 1:14; Eph 2:8,9]

4. He was tempted in every way [Hbr 2:17,18; Luk 4:2; Luk 22:28] we are, yet committed no sin, [Heb 4:15; Hbr 7:26; Isa 53:9; Jhn 8:46; 2Cr 5:21; 1Pe 2:22; 1Jo 3:5] and voluntarily layed down His life [Jhn 10:15], atoned and ransomed Himself [Mar 10:45; Matt 20:28] for the sins of men by dying on the cross not as a substitutionary sacrifice but a “propitiatory sacrifice” [1Jhn 2:2; 1Jhn 4:10; Rom 3:25], thus satisfying divine justice (fulfilling the Law) for a perfect sacrifice once and for all [Heb 10:10], thus ratifying the New Testament [Mat 26:28] (agreement) Will of God (the New Covenant [Jer 31:31; Hbr 8:6; Hbr 8:13; Hbr 12:24]) with the shedding of His blood, for all who trust in Him to participate in so as to ‘work out their salvation’ [Phl 2:12] as Apostle Paul stated, with ‘living faith’ [scripture] as Apostle James stated “faith without works is dead” [Jam 2:14-26], doing the “first works” as Jesus Christ stated. [1Jhn 3:11; Rev 2:5; Rev 2:19]

5. He rose from the dead, and ascended bodily into heaven [Jhn 3:13; Jhn 20:17] and sat down at the right hand of God the Father [Mar 16:19; Luk 22:69; Act 2:33;Act 7:55; Act 7:56; Rom 8:34; Hbr 10:12; Col 3:1; Hbr 10:12; 1Pe 3:22], where He, the only mediator between God and man [Hbr 8:6, 8:13; Heb 12:24], continually makes intercession [Hbr 12:2] for His own as they participate in the New Covenant [Jer 31:31; Hbr 8:13; Hbr 12:24 ] with daily expressions of faith to God (abiding in the love of God by keeping the commandments of Christ) [Jhn 14:21; 15:10; 1Jhn:2:5; 3:14; 5:3].

6. Man was originally created in the image of God [Gen 1:27]. He sinned by disobeying God and yielding to the counsel of Satan and eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil; thus, he was alienated from his Creator, falling from God's grace. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation [Rom 5:16, 18] and under the acculturative influence of Satan and the knowledge system of sin. [Gen 3; Rom 3:23]

7. Man's nature is sinful, [Rom 3:23; Eccl 7:20; 1Jn1:8,10] and he is thus totally unable to please God. Every man is in need of regeneration [Mat 19:28, Tts 3:5] and renewal by the Holy Spirit [Act 2:4; 1Cr 12:3] and this is only possible through cognitive, daily participation in the New Covenant framework of Christ’s truth and His priesthood (after the order of Melchisedec) He left for us to be active in. [Hbr 5:6, Hbr 5:10, Hbr 7:11; Hbr 7:17; Hbr 7:21]

8. The salvation of man is the responsibility of God's through His authorship of the power of grace toward us. [Tts 2:11, 1Pe 1:10] He initiates the inspiration of grace and calls us to ‘obedience’, [Rom 6:16; 16:26; 2 Cor 10:5; 1Pet 1:2 which response of obedience to His grace He calls ‘faith’, thus we have a cooperative relationship, not in co-creating, but co-laboring with Him (hearing and doing His word/doing His will), for Apostle Paul said “work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” [Phl 2:12; Jas 1:22; Matt 7:21; Luke 6:47,48; 1Jhn 2:3 ]

9. Humanitarian good works, works from the Law of Moses, or religious ceremony are NOT required for salvation, BUT God does expect that our expression of faith will be more than ‘mere acknowledgement of the facts of Christ’s existence’. God imputes the righteousness of Christ to those who obey Christ’s New Covenant commandments, thus are we justified in His sight. [1Cr 1:30, Gal 2:21, Phl 3:9, 2Pe 1:1, Jn.14:21]

10. We are born again after we repent of sin, receive the Testimony of Christ, receive the Baptism of the Spirit and agree to join our faith to the New Testament [Mat 26:28] Will of God through the Covenant of Jesus Christ. These 4 steps of conversion seal our faith and set us into the Body of Christ. [Act 18:24-28]

11. Assurance of salvation is observed, experienced and witnessed as the Holy Spirit births the fruit of Christ in our soul by our daily expression of love / faith to God through the New Covenant terms, and thus, do we glorify God as disciples of Christ who ‘bear much fruit.’ [Jhn 15:8] Thus are we walking in faith by the Record and Witness of Christ. [1Pe 5:1; Rev 1:5]

12. The Holy Spirit has come to convict of righteousness, reveal Christ and be effectual in regenerating our souls and renewing of the mind. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, and indwells the converted through the Baptism of the Spirit with the evidence of tongues. He does not control a believer but works with the inspiration of God’s grace to direct the believers’ heart to a daily lifestyle of faith in God through Christ’s Covenant. His power to us is granted and effectual ‘through this inspiration of grace that proceeds from the mouth and throne of God.’ [2Ch 35:22 - Jer 36:32; Gen 4:11 - Eze 3:17]

13. Every believer is called to live in the power of grace of God by the assistance of the Holy Spirit, that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God. [Jhn 15:4; Jhn 15:8; Phl 1:11]

14. The Baptism of the Spirit is NOT an option, but a commandment, [Mar 1:8; Mar 16:17; Eph 4:5; Col 2:12; Act 1:5; Act 2:38; Act 11:16] and the witness that it has been received is the evidence of tongues. (The gift of tongues as this witness is NOT the same as the gift of tongues by the will of the Spirit (for usage in the Assembly requiring interpretation). The witness of tongues to the Baptism of the Spirit is a ‘prayer language’ which we daily use (a gift from God, but which we must initiate) to commune with God, receive personal edification to the soul, building up ourselves in the most holy faith, and spiritual healing and cleansing to the soul. [Acts 2:4-8]

15. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of all men, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through the Faith Tradition of Jesus Christ. [Rom 14:9]

16. The Headship of Jesus Christ [Hbr 3:1; Hbr 4:14; Hbr 6:20] includes the 5 callings of spiritual government, beginning first with the apostles’ office and including the prophets, teachers, pastors and evangelists (Eph 4:11] The apostles’ office is charged to deliver the gospel by teaching each convert the terms and worship tools of the New Covenant priesthood of Christ. All 4 callings must carry the doctrine the Apostles’ [Act 2:42] preach and no other personal interpretation of scripture. The apostles’ office is the office chosen by Christ to oversee the purity and distribution of the Doctrine of Christ [Mat 7:28, Mat 22:33, Mar 1:22 , Mar 1:27, Mar 4:2, Mar 11:18, Mar 12:38, Luk 4:32, Jhn 7:16, Jhn 7:17, Jhn 18:19, Act 2:42, Act 5:28, 1Ti 1:3-11, Tts 2:1, 1Tm 5:17] and the proper spiritual growth of the Church. (apostles have the measure of Grace to function in all 5 callings)

17. We must not neglect the assembly of the saints [Hbr 10:25] for worship of God and hearing of the preaching of the Apostles’ Doctrine [Act 2:42] by the apostles and elders, for edification, comfort, learning and multiplication of grace and peace through the expounding of the Scriptures and participation in the gifts of the Spirit and manifold graces of God. A New Testament [Mat 26:28] assembly is 2 or more persons gathering in the Framework of the New Covenant truth; (Mat 18:20) a building is not needed as saints can gather in homes, or by voice technologies, etc.

18. The Priesthood of the Believer [2Ti 1:9; 1 Pet 2:9; Phl 3:14; Eph 4:1] is the daily communion relationship Christ has provided in His blood through His death and resurrection. This priesthood is after the order of Melchizedec, [Heb 5:6, 10, 11, 17, 21] taught to each convert by (living) apostles, [Rom 6:17; Rom 16:25; 1Cr 2:7; 1Jn1:1-4; 1 Cor 15:1,2; Phl 4:9] and follows the specific protocols of the New Covenant for defined activities of how we are to express faith to God. [2Ti 1:13; Tts 2:1; 1Ti 6:3; Phl 4:9] (Any deviation from the New Covenant priesthood activities of faith is not accepted of God and will separated the soul from God’s saving care through grace. [Matt 7:26; Gal 1:6; 3:1,3; 5:7; Heb 11:6; Heb 3:12] This priesthood service of faith to God is a daily service, and involves no unclean, carnal tools (nothing you can touch, taste, see or handle), [Col 2:20-23; 2Cr 6:17] therefore you are never separated from the love of God as long as you use these holy, invisible, spiritual tools of worship [Rom 8:39; 2 Cor 2:13; 12:1; 1 Cor 14:12; Eph 1:3]. One does not need money, buildings, pews, pulpits, music, choirs, water, or anything to perform this service. At physical death the Covenant Believer enters immediately into a place of eternal rest with God, awaiting the resurrection of his body to everlasting glorification upon the throne of God as a co-heir with Jesus Christ.

19. At physical death the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.

20. Jesus Christ will come again to the earth -- personally, visibly and bodily -- to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.[Mat 16:28; Mar 13:26; Luk 21:27; 1Th 5:23; 1Cr 15:23] He will establish His Millennial Kingdom on the earth for 1,000 years, then afterwards the Great White Throne Judgment of the living and the dead, then the beginning of the “Eternal Week” where time is abolished and the saints bring their glory into the house of God forever and ever.

21. Private interpretation of the scriptures is forbidden [2Pe 1:20]. The doctrine of Christ is an oral tradition, delivered by apostles and is not to be added to nor taken away from.

22. The New Testament/New Covenant commandments are what Christ authorizes today for our expression and obedience of faith. [Jhn.14:21] We are NOT authorized to resource anything from the Law and Covenant of Moses to express faith to God.

23. The Letters of the Apostles (Epistles) are holy scripture sent as reminders to the early churches of the pure Doctrine of Christ [Mat 7:28, Mat 22:33, Mar 1:22 , Mar 1:27, Mar 4:2, Mar 11:18, Mar 12:38, Luk 4:32, Jhn 7:16, Jhn 7:17, Jhn 18:19, Act 2:42, Act 5:28, 1Ti 1:3-11, Tts 2:1, 1Tm 5:17] which the apostles had taught orally and in person, years before the New Testament had been written down, compiled, published and circulated *. As such, they provide us, even today, with confirmation of what Christ had given us: a “Royal Priesthood after the order of Melchisedec” [1Pe 2:9 , Hbr 5:6, Hbr 5:10, Hbr 7:11, Hbr 7:17, Hbr 7:21, Rev 1:6] for the sanctified expression of faith in the terms of His New Covenant. The Epistles also tell us what Christians are to refrain from resourcing or doing in their daily expression of faith within the terms of the New Covenant. The Epistles do not, however, fully explain the Doctrine of Christ which is, as Apostle Paul stated “hidden in a Mystery” [Col1:27, Col2:2, 1Cr2:7, Eph3:9, Col4:3, Rom 16:25, 1Ti3:9] to be unfolded to the believer through Christ's holy living apostles [2Pe 1:19,Col4:3 ]. The Book of Revelation also clearly states that the churches were falling away from the pure doctrine they had been taught, even at the earliest stages [Rev 1, 2 and 3]. This has led to a continual process of corruption and to factionalization that has gone on for nearly 2,000 years.

*HOW OLD ARE THE GOSPELS?: "...That erstwhile liberal scholar Dr John Robinson places Matthew at AD 40 to after 60; Mark at about 45 to 60; Luke at before 57 to after 60; and John at from 40 to after 65. (John A.T. Robinson, Redating the NewTestament. London: SCM Press, 1976) So there exists a strong case that all the New Testament Gospels were written as early as between AD 40 and the early 60s.This would place the first written records as close as nine years after Jesus' crucifixion! " Source: "Jonathan Gray - Who's Playing Jesus Games?" (Pages 56 to 71) regarding the age of the written texts. NOTE: Gray states that the Jesus crucifixion date was AD 31 (some say AD, 32 or 33). From these facts, it should be obvious that the early apostles were not preaching from written texts, and their missions and the formation of the early churches were not dependent upon the written word, but rather, oral teachings.

CONCLUSIONS:

God, the Father, has always set the terms for the expression of faith which He will recognize and honor through covenants. He is a God of mercy who longs to reconcile His children to Him, to save them from sin, and to give them His inheritance: The Kingdom of Heaven. Christ provided and is the “mediator of a new and better covenant”, and a “more excellent ministry”. However, many even early on rejected the “sound doctrine” of the apostles, heeded “seducing spirits” and left the door open for infiltrators who began to mix the covenants, as well as, bring in other teachings not of Christ, thus subverting the Apostles Doctrine and corrupting the church and mankind. This continues to this day.

In these End Times, God is once again showing His mercy, sending His grace, and is calling new living apostles under the headship of Christ to restore His spiritual government (the original five callings) and the pure Doctrine of Christ to save “a remnant” from destruction who will inherit The Kingdom. Christ is now judging the churches and has charged His apostles to call them to repent, and to “return to the first works”. The true living apostles are to preach and to teach others to worship God through Christ, under His Law of Grace and Truth: The New Covenant, AND to provide this instruction free of charge to all who seek Him with a humble heart, and it is He who will save them and raise them up from the dead each day, and sanctify them.

A SAMPLING OF THE SCRIPTURES WHICH WE OFTEN REFER TO:

Jer 23:36 And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; FOR YE HAVE PERVERTED THE WORDS OF THE LIVING GOD, of the LORD of hosts our God.

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

1Sa 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.

Psa 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Mat 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jhn 17:3 And THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL, that THEY MAY KNOW THEE the ONLY TRUE GOD, and JESUS CHRIST, WHOM THOU HAST SENT.

Jhn 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Mat 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 40 He that receiveth you (apostles) receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Jn.14:21, He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Mat 11:30 For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.

Phl 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Phl 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

1Cr 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

Jhn 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

Rom 5:15 But not as the offence, so also [is] THE FREE GIFT. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Hbr 8:6 But now HATH HE OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT MINISTRY, by how much also HE IS THE MEDIATOR of a BETTER COVENANT, which was established upon BETTER PROMISES.

Hbr 8:13 In that he saith, A NEW COVENANT, HE HATH MADE THE FIRST OLD. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.

Hbr 12:24 And to JESUS the HE IS THE MEDIATOR of the NEW COVENANT, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that of] Abel.

2 Cor 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God; 6 Who also hath made us (apostles) ABLE MINISTERS of the NEW TESTAMENT; NOT OF THE LETTER, but of THE SPIRIT: for THE LETTER KILLETH, but THE SPIRIT GIVETH LIFE.

1Pe 2:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM who hath CALLED YOU OUT OF THE DARKNESS into his marvellous light:

Hbr 5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Hbr 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

Hbr 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

Hbr 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Hbr 7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

1Cr 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.

Luk 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Hbr 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: FOR YE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS.

Act 18:5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that] Jesus [was] Christ. 6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I [am] clean: from hence forth I will go unto the Gentiles.

Rom 8:34 Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] CHRIST that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also MAKETH INTERCESSION FOR US..

1Pe 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] unto you:

Tts 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

1Cr 2:7 But we (apostles) SPEAK THE WISDOM OF GOD IN A MYSTERY, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

Eph 3:9 And to make all [men] see what [is] the FELLOWSHIP OF MYSTERY, which from the beginning of the world HATH BEEN HID IN GOD, who CREATED ALLTHINGS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

Col 4:3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

Rom 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

1Ti 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now IF ANT MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF THIS.

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:

Gal 3:1 O foolish Galatians, WHO HATH BEWITCHED YOU, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Col 2:20 Wherefore IF YE BE DEAD WITH CHRIST from the rudiments of the world, WHY, ASTHOUGH LIVING INTHE WORLD, ARE SUBJECT TO ORDINANCES,

Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

Rom 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become DEAD TO THE LAW by the body of Christ; that ye should BEMARRIED TO ANOTHER, [even] TO HIM WHO IS RAISED FROM THE DEAD, that WE SHOULD BRING FORTH FRUIT UNTO GOD.

Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Rom 8:10 And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

Rom 10:4 For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

1Ti 1:2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. 3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, THAT THOU MIGHTEST CHARGE SOME THAT THEY TEACH NO OTHER DOCTRINE, 4 NEITHER GIVE HEED TO FABLES and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than GODLY EDIFYING WHICH IS IN FAITH: SO DO. 5 Now THE END OF THE COMMANDMENT IS CHARITY OUT OF PURE HEART, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED: 6 FROM WHICH SOME HAVING SWERVED, HAVE TURNED ASIDE UNTO VAIN JANGLING; 7 DESIRING TO BE TEACHERS OF THE LAW ; UNDERSTANDING NEITHER WHAT THEY SAY, NOR WHEREOF THEY AFFIRM. 8 But we know that the law is good, IF a man USE IT LAWFULLY; 9 Knowing this, that THE LAW IS NOT MADE FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN, BUT FOR THE LAWLESS AND DISOBEDIENT, FOR THE UNGODLY AND SINNERS FOR UNHOLY AND PROFANE, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 FOR WHOREMONGERS, FOR THEM THAT DEFILE THEMSELVES WITH MANKIND, for menstealers, for LIARS, for PERJURED PERSONS, AND IF THERE BE ANY OTHER THING THAT IS CONTRARY TO SOUND DOCTRINE; 11 ACCORDING TOTHE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF THE BLESSED GOD, which was COMMITTEDTO MY TRUST.

1Th 1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God:for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Act 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained; [whereof] he hath given assurance unto all [men], in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Jud 1:12 THESE ARE SPOTSON YOUR FEASTS OF CHARITY, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

1 Tim 6:10 "FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OFALL EVIL: which while some coveted after, THEY HAVE ERRED FROMTHE FAITH, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.11 But thou, O man of God, FLEE THESE THINGS ; AND FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, GODLINESS, FAITH, LOVE, PATIENCE, MEEKNESS.12 FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE, whereunto THOU ART ALSO CALLED, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."

2Pe 2:3 And THROUGH COVETOUSNESS shall they with FEIGNED WORDS make MERCHANDISE OF YOU: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and THEIR DAMNATION SLUMBERETH NOT.

1 John 3:11 FOR THIS IS THE MESSAGE THAT YE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING, that we should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because HIS OWN WORKS WERE EVIL, AND HIS BROTHER'S RIGHTEOUS. 13 MARVEL NOT MY BRETHREN, IF THE WORLD HATE YOU.

Jhn 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; MAKE NOT MY FATHER'S HOUSE AN HOUSE of MERCHANDISE.

Col 3:11 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Jud 1:17 But, beloved, REMEMBER YE THE WORDS WHICH WERE SPOKEN BEFORE OF THE APOSTLES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST; 18 How that THEY TOLD YOU there should be MOCKERS IN THE LAST TIME, who should WALK AFTER THEIR OWN UNGODLY LUSTS. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, HAVING NOT THE SPIRIT. 20 But ye, beloved, BUILDING YOURSELF UP ON YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 KEEP YOURSELVES in the LOVE OF GOD, looking for the MERCY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST UNTO ETERNAL LIFE. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others SAVE WITH FEAR, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 24 Now UNTO HIM THAT IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM FALLING, and to PRESENT YOU FAULTLESS BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY with EXCEEDING JOY, 25 To the ONLY WISE GOD OUR SAVIOUR, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; Tts 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

Tts 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

2Cr 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, Mat 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

Col 3:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Jud 1:8 Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

Jud 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

2Pe 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are they], selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

Phl 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Rev 2:5 "Remember therefore from whence THOU ART FALLEN and REPENT, and DO THE FIRST WORKS; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."

Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Rev. 3:13 "He that hath an ear, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES."

Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went TO MAKE WAR WITH HE REMNANT OF HER SEED, WHICH KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST.
