Church Creed: The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is God who PERSONALLY dwells in believers
for the sake of transforming us into Jesus’ likeness.
Scripture is always the Spirit OF God. Of is a preposition. Spirit is almost always consistent with the definition. The spirit of ANGER is not another person.
When you despise the WORD God sends you strong delusions and you just cannot read BLACK text on BROWN PAPER.

Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees (writers and preachers of their own sermons), pharisees: In Isaiah 29 and Ezekiel 33 they are performance preachers for hire, singers and instrument players. THESE are always the mark of those who will NOT teach that which is written.
They boast that they have a right to CONFISCATE your property "cause we gonna save more souls. They always say that they are guided by a Spirit. Apollyon is the SPIRITUS of the singers and instrument players: LOCUSTS or Muses.
Angels are SPIRITS but no PERSON or God has been named SPIRIT which could mean windy or flatulence.
KAIROS is the demon or spirit son of Zeus. Jesus defined SPIRIT as a STATE in contrast to Flesh and Bones.
SPIRITUS in Latin is used of Apollon who is the leader of the Locusts or Muses. His musical worship team were filthy prostitutes and knew how to tell the truth or tell a lie in order to TURN A TRICK

Jesus received the PROMISE of the Holy Spirit which means the OFFICE or WORK IN the STATE of holy or wholly Spirit. It was Jesus in this state Who guided Paul and not "another" god.

God put His WORDS into the MOUTH of A Moses, the Prophets and LASTLY into the Mouth of Jesus. SPIRIT is always figurative or a parable word to explain. Jesus said that HE was the SPIRIT OF TRUTH. God's WORD or SPIRIT is without MEASURE which is METRON or Musical Meter.

The Spirit OF Christ BREATHED or INSpirited the Prophets.
The Prophets radically repudiated the Civil-Military-Clergy complex as robbers and Parasites (PARASITE defines religious instrument noise makers such as Miriam and the Levites. And those who do NOT speak that which HAS been taught.
Christ in the prophets warned about the mercinary prophets who stole words from workshops and told lies.

YOU DON'T NEED TO READ CALVIN TO BE A CALVINIST.
The Word IS Spirit so that SPIRIT comes along with the WORD.
Jesus said that the SPIRIT had been WITH the Apostles and would be IN them. That is because SPIRIT produces WORDS but not o modern pretend Apostles.1. The temper and error of the Libertines, who take to themselves the name of spiritual, briefly described. Their refutation.
(a). The Apostles and all true Christians have embraced the written Word. This confirmed by a passage in Isaiah; also by the example and words of Paul.
(b). The Spirit OF Christ seals the doctrine of the written Word on the minds of the godly.(2) Refutation continued.
a) The impositions of Satan cannot be detected without the aid of the written Word. First Objection. The Answer to it.
3. Second Objection from the words of Paul as to the letter and spirit. The Answer, with an explanation of Paul's meaning. How the Spirit and the written Word are indissolubly connected.
1.The fanatics wrongly appeal to the Holy Spirit
Those who, rejecting Scripture, imagine that they have some peculiar way of penetrating to God, are to be deemed not so much under the influence of error as madness. For certain giddy men have lately appeared, who, while they make a great display of the superiority of the Spirit,
reject all reading of the Scriptures themselves, and deride the simplicity of those who only delight in what they call the dead and deadly letter. But I wish they would tell me what spirit it is whose inspiration raises them to such a sublime height that they dare despise the doctrine of Scripture as mean and childish.
If they answer that it is the Spirit of Christ, their confidence is exceedingly ridiculous;
since they will, I presume, admit that the apostles and other believers in the primitive Church were not illuminated by any other Spirit. None of these thereby learned to despise the word of God, but every one was imbued with greater reverence for it, as their writings most clearly testify.And, indeed, it had been so foretold by the mouth of Isaiah. For when he says,
"My Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever,"
he does not tie down the ancient Church to external doctrine, as he were a mere teacher of elements; he rather shows that,
under the reign of Christ, the true and full felicity of the new Church will consist in their being ruled not less by the Word than by the Spirit of God.
Hence we infer that these miscreants are guilty of fearful sacrilege in tearing asunder what the prophet joins in indissoluble union.
Add to this, that Paul, though carried up even to the third heaven, ceased not to profit by the doctrine of the law and the prophets, while, in like manner, he exhorts Timothy, a teacher of singular excellence, to give attention to reading, (1 Tim. 4: 13.)
This is Paul's unique word for worship in Spirit and in Truth: give attention or give heed. This is the same word in Hebrew used by David when he "worshiped" and sang songs upon his bed and meditated in his heart.
And the eulogium which he pronounces on Scripture well deserves to be remembered, viz., that
"it is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect," (2 Tim. 3: 16.)
What an infatuation of the devil, therefore, to fancy that Scripture, which conducts the sons of God to the final goal, is of transient and temporary use?
Again, I should like those people to tell me whether they have imbibed any other Spirit than that which Christ promised to his disciples. Though their madness is extreme, it will scarcely carry them the length of making this their boast.
But what kind of Spirit did our Saviour promise to send? One who should not speak of himself, (John 16: 13,)
but suggest and instil the truths which he himself had delivered through the word.
Hence the office of the Spirit promised to us, is not to form new and unheard-of revelations, or to coin a new form of doctrine, by which we may be led away from the received doctrine of the gospel, but to seal on our minds the very doctrine which the gospel recommends.
John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the SON OF MAN up where he was before?Rom. 10:13 For whosoever shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that QUICKENETH
the FLESH profiteth nothing:
the WORDS that I SPEAK unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are life.
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou?Rom. 10:14 How then shall they CALL on him

We believe we are to be FILLED with the SPIRIT.
All words such as baptize, poured, fell, filled produces WORDS.

"Since being filled with the Spirit and letting the Word of Christ dwell within both produce the same results, a spirit-filled Christian is one in whom the Word of Christ dwells. A Spirit-filled Christian is a Christ-conscious Christian. A Spirit-filled Christian is consumed with learning everything he or she can about Jesus and obeying everything that Jesus said. That is what it means to 'let the word of Christ richly dwell within you.' To be filled with the Spirit is to be totally and richly involved in all there is to know about Jesus Christ." (MacArthur, John, Charismatic Chaos, p. 259, Zondervan).
"When we think of filling, we usually picture a container into which something is poured or shoveled until it is full. That is not what Paul had in mind here. Paul was not speaking of being filled up; he had in mind the idea of being filled out through, or permeated by the Holy Spirit's influence.
"We often speak of being filled with anger or filled with joy. We mean that they are totally under the control of those things. That is what Paul had in mind, we are to be utterly controlled by the Holy Spirit." (MacArthur, John, Charismatic Chaos, p. 259, Zondervan).
"'Be filled' (plerosthe) is present imperative, not aorist, and means 'continue to be filled.' It challenges Christians to continue to persevere, in a present reality.'" (Is the Holy Spirit for Me, Harvey Floyd, p. 86)
"In all types of Gnosticism the highest goal of the spiritual life is the obtaining of divine substance for oneself. The Christian faith distinguishes itself from this seemingly devout but actually selfish piety by locating the focus of Christian life not in the accumulating of spirituality or spirit for oneself, but more mundanely, in giving oneself to the neighbor. In Gnosticism the goal of spiritual life is the emptying of oneself in order to be filled with divine substance--it is vertical; in the Christian faith the goal is the emptying of oneself for the human neighbor--it is horizontal. This difference of directions in energy determines the difference in types of evidence. Special 'spiritual experience' (gnosis 'puffs up,' but Christian love 'builds up' (1 Cor. 8:1b)." (Bruner, p. 275)

PAGAN oracles oracle is a person or agency considered to provide wise and insightful counsel or prophetic predictions or precognition of the future, inspired by the gods. As such it is a form of divination.
The term logia (Greek: λόγια), plural of logion (Greek: λόγιον), is used variously in ancient writings and modern scholarship in reference to communications of divine origin. In pagan contexts, the principal meaning was "oracles", while Jewish and Christian writings used logia in reference especially to "the divinely inspired Scriptures".The most important oracles of Greek antiquity were Pythia (priestess to Apollo at Delphi), and the oracle of Dione and Zeus at Dodona in Epirus. Other oracles of Apollo were located at Didyma and Mallus on the coast of Anatolia, at Corinth and Bassae in the Peloponnese, and at the islands of Delos and Aegina in the Aegean Sea.
The Sibylline Oracles are a collection of oracular utterances written in Greek hexameters ascribed to the Sibyls, prophetesses who uttered divine revelations in frenzied states.
Additionally,
we are always trusting and relying
on the presence of the Holy Spirit.
There is no THE Holy Spirit. If Holy Spirit was a Third God person it would be an insult to use an article. Holy Spirit is Divine Mine or Mental Disposition. God puts His MIND into the MOUTH of A Moses, the Prophets and Lastly Jesus of Nazareth. SPIRIT is a PARABLE to fool the foolish and to help the Lost Sheep avoid spirits as Witches or Sorcerers such as the singer and instrument players in Revelation 18.

Is. 11:3 And shall make him of [1] quick understanding in the fear of the LORD:
and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Is. 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

Phil. 2:19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you,
that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
Phil. 2:24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
1Tim. 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach,
because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
Heb. 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
God put His SPIRIT into WORDS which were left by men like Peter for OUR memory. A written document claiming to be a revelation was always written. That was the only way for people like sorcerers who Cast Visions and think that their own imagination is a god.
Arnobius, Heresies IV May it not happen, may it not come to pass, although you craftily conceal it, that the one should take the other's place, deluding, mocking, deceiving, and presenting the appearance of the deity invoked?
If the magi, who ares much akin to soothsayers [Levites], relate that, in their incantations, pretended gods steal in frequently instead of those invoked; that some of these, moreover, are spirits of grosser substance, who pretend that they are gods, and delude the ignorant by their lies and deceit,- why should we not similarly believe that here, too, others substitute themselves for those who are not, that they may both strengthen your superstitious beliefs, and rejoice that victims are slain in sacrifice to them under names not their own?
33. Your gods, it is recorded, dine on celestial couches, and in golden chambers, drink,
and are at last soothed by the music of the lyre, and singing .
You fit them with ears not easily wearied;
and do not think it unseemly to assign to the gods
the pleasures by which earthly bodies are supported,
and which are sought after by ears enervated by the frivolity of an unmanly spirit.
"Nay, rather, to speak out more truly, the augurs, the dream interpreters, the soothsayers, the prophets, and the priestlings, ever vain, have devised these fables;
for they, fearing that their own arts be brought to nought,
and that they may extort but scanty contributions from the devotees, now few and infrequent,
whenever they have found you to be willing
that their craft should come into disrepute,
cry aloud, the Gods are neglected,
and in the temples there is now a very thin attendance.For ceremonies are exposed to derision,
and the time-honoured rites of institutions once sacred
have sunk before the superstitions of new religions.And men--a senseless race--being unable, from their inborn blindness, to see even that which is placed in open light,
dare to assert in their frenzy what you in your sane mind do not blush to believes." (Arnobius, Against the Heathen, Ante-Nicene Fathers, VI, p. 418).
Church Creed: The Scriptures
We believe that the sixty-six books of the Bible are inspired of God, infallible, and perfect. We believe that God expects us to be obedient to the Scriptures, and that He will bless us when we obey Scriptures, even if popular culture might contradict Scripture.
JESUS DEFINED HOLY SCRIPTURE as the Prophets and other prophecies CONCERNING ME. David was not inspired.
Acts 1:16 Men and brethren,
this scripture must needs have been fulfilled,
which the Holy SPIRIT by the MOUTH of David spake before concerning
udas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
Rom. 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his PROPHETS in the holy SCRIPTURES,)
2Tim. 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
THE ASSEMBLY OF CHRIST IS DEFINED INCLUSIVELY AND EXCLUSIVELY IN THE PROPHETS.
2Pet. 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us
all things that pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2Pet. 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
2Pet. 1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent
to put you always in remembrance of these things,
though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
2Pet. 1:13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
2Pet. 1:15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able
after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
2Pet. 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables,
when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
2Pet. 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory,
when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
2Pet. 1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard,
when we were with him in the holy mount.
2Pet. 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy;
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,
until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pet. 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pet. 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God SPAKE as they were MOVED by the Holy SPIRIT.
2Pet. 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers among you,
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,
even denying the Lord that bought them,
and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Church Creed: Sin, Salvation, and Faith
We believe that all humans have sinned and that our sins separate us from God and bring God’s judgment upon us.
We believe that only God’s GRACE can REDEEM us from being lost,
and that salvation comes to us THROUGH FAITH in Jesus as both Savior and Lord.
1Pet. 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not
REDEEMED with corruptible things, as silver and gold,
from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
1Pet. 1:19 But [REDEEMED]with the precious BLOOD of Christ,
as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1Pet. 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory;
that your faith and hope might be in God.
1Pet. 1:22 Seeing ye have purified [g48 made HOLY]
your souls in OEYING the
TRUTH through the SPIRIT [Spirit or BREATHE is never a person: it produces WORDS.]
unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1Pet. 1:23 Being BORN again,
not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the WORD of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Word or Logos is God's Regulative Principle: it outlaws rhetoric, singing, playing instruments]

OF REGENERATION: g3824. paliggenesia, pal-ing-ghen-es-ee´-ah; from 3825 and 1078; (spiritual) rebirth (the state or the act), i.e. (figuratively) spiritual renovation; specially, Messianic restoration: — regeneration.

Mandaeands Sabians Iraq Christians "Sabian" is a word derived from the
Aramaic-Mandic verb "Saba" which means "baptised" or "dyed", "immersed
in water". "dMandaeans" is
derived from "menda" which means in the mandiac
language "knowledge". Thus,
"Mandaean Sabians" means those who are
baptised and who know
the religion of God. Alexander Campbell Regeneration: Hence it came to pass, that all the ancients (as fully proved in our first Extra on Remission) used the word REGENERATION as synonymous in signification with IMMERSION. In addition to the numerous quotations made in our Essay on Remission, from the creeds and liturgies of Protestant churches,
|
1Pet. 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that
ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold,
from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
Church Creed: We believe in salvation by GRACE through FAITH.
We believe that saving faith demonstrates itself in obedience to the will of God.
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.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth AND is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Church Creed: Baptism
We believe that water baptism by immersion serves as the point at which
we die to our lost selves, are buried, and are raised to a resurrected life in Christ.
We believe that in baptism sins are washed away
through faith and because of grace.
We believe that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord NEEDS to be baptized into Christ Jesus.
Rom. 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as
were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death?
You cannot refuse to be CONFORMED to Death of Jesus Christ and be a Christian!
Rom. 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.
g4916. sunthapto, soon-thap´-to; from 4862 and 2290; to inter in company with, i.e. (figuratively) to assimilate spiritually (to Christ by a sepulture as to sin): — bury with.Rom. 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
Raised g1453 egeiro waken, rise again
Col. 2:12 Buried with him in baptism,
wherein also ye are risen with him through
THE FAITH of the operation of God,
who hath raised him from the dead.
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom. 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him,
THAT the BODY of sin might be destroyed,
THAT henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom. 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom. 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ,
we believe that we shall also live with him:
Rom. 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over him
Rom. 6:10 For in that he died,
he died unto sin once:
but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God
Rom. 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you:
or ye are not under the law,
but under grace.
Rom. 6:15 What then? shall we sin,
because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Rom. 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye YIELD yourselves servants to OBEY,
his servants ye are to whom ye OBEY;
whether of sin unto death,
or of obedience unto righteousness?
Rom. 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin,
but ye have OBEYED from the heart
that FORM of doctrine which was delivered you.

Church Creed: The Second Coming
We believe that Jesus Christ will return to gather His people at the end of time,
raising all of humanity from the dead.
We believe that those who have
put their FAITH in Christ will be raised to eternal life,
but those who have refused to BELIEVE in Him
will be raised to ETERNAL death.
We believe in living prepared for Jesus’ second coming.

shall be DAMNED.

Luke 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
against themselves, being not baptized of him.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son INTO the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT condemned:
but he that BELIEVETH NOT [Apistos marks treachery of anyone calling Jesus a liar]
is condemned already,
because he hath not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
The Believeth Nots demand that Jesus was GOD IN THE FLESH.
They cannot confess that "Jesus is the Christ the SON of the Living God."
AntiChrists confess and publish that God was in the FLESH.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation,
that LIGHT is come into the world, [Kosmos, Ecumenical, kingdom of the Devil]
and men loved darkness rather than LIGHT,
because their deeds were evil.
John 9:22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews:
for the Jews had agreed already,
That if any man did confess that he was Christ,
he should be put out of the synagogue.
John 12:39 Therefore they could not believe,
because that Esaias said again,
John 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart;
that they should not
see with their eyes,
nor understand with their heart,
and be converted, [parallel to baptism]
and I should heal them. [Re Generation of THEIR spirit]
John 12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
John 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him;
but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him,
lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his WORD were BAPTIZED:
and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

If you ARM WRESTLE with Jesus about following His example and CONDITION then you cannot HEAR the WORD of God which is God's SPIRIT or BREATH articulated by Jesus. The Word or Logos WILL NOT PERMIT you to express personal experiences or personal opinions. The MARKS of those who HEAR are the words READ or SPEAK without trying to make Jesus into a liar.
2Th. 1:5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God,
that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
2Th. 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
2Th. 1:7 And to you who are troubled REST with us,
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2Th. 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them
That know not God,
and that OBEY NOT the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Th. 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction

and to be admired in all them that believe
(because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Mark 16:16 He that believeth (complies) and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not (does not comply) shall be damned.
let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1Pet. 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:
and if it first begin at us,
what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
The house of God is the Church of Christ: He adds the baptized to His church after they are saved by baptism.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them,1Pet. 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved,
Repent, and be baptized every one of you

and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:
and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1Pet. 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God
commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
