Salvation
My prayer when we eat our food is this;
Father we are thankful for what we are about to receive, and We are thankful for your many Blessings. We ask that you Keep Us, and Guide Us, and Direct Us, and lead Us Into All Truth.
In Jesus Name, Amen
Salvation is not complicated but a spiritual matter. God wants us to walk in his Spirit in truth. God does not want lip service, where you talk about God and what's right or wrong, but God wants you to live for him and do the things that are right and pleases him.
In all my years of Christian life I have tried to walk the line in perfection. Not because I wanted to be better than anyone else, but because God brought me up from Hell in my mind. When I first was saved, God delivered me from a fear of Satan after I cast him into Hell. I had to let Satan out of Hell because it wasn't his time according to the Word. Satan came at me when he got loose and I trembled in fear. God (Jehovah) then came on the scene, and I new what real fear was when he showed me himself more than once, I trembled at the presence of my God, it was not the sweet side you all see, but his side of anger, I knew I had lived wrong in my life and God was showing me how to live right, I was a tough nut to crack. Then I knew not to fear Satan no more, but that the God I serve I fear the most. The Holy Bible tells us fear not him that can destroy the body, but him that can cast you into Hell after the body is destroyed.
Because I wanted to please my God, I tried to be and Example Christian. When I was called into the Ministry, I tried to be an example Minister. When I was called out as an official, I tried to be an example.
The Holy Bible teaches us not to compare among our selves, but to keep our eyes upon the Lord. We are suppose to follow the leading of God (Jesus), and do what he does and what he would do in our circumstance. Prayer and perseverance as God leads will get you were God wants you to go. I press toward the mark of the High calling of God, to please him no matter what. I may look like crazy man, I may look like a fool in some eyes, I may look like my elevator doesn't go all the way to the top, But I try and follow were God leads.
When I was first saved God humbled me before the Church, and I have also cried many a tears in front of people that God has humbled me before. I have stood with tears running down my cheeks in many church's in front of people, and I know I look ugly as one preacher said he did one time, but in my Soul I am as free as any living person can possible be. My sleep is at peace, and in my dreams, God cuts the head of snakes off if they bug my sleep, I've seen that happen 2 or three times. God wins in my dreams, things that have haunted me in my sleep.
How to be Saved
The day will come that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. I believe that day is around the next turn, it's about here, 7 years of Hell on Earth.
We Are Saved by "Faith" and that is through "Grace" of our Lord Jesus
We must believe this or our faith is in vain (useless)
1. We must believe Jesus was the Son Of God (Jehovah)
2. We must believe he came from heaven and was born of a virgin (Mary)
3. We must believe Jesus was Crucified on the Cross, and Died for our Sins
4. We must believe Jesus was buried and Rose from the Grave on the 3rd Day
5.We must believe Jesus now sits at the right hand of his Father (Jehovah)
6. We must believe that our sins are forgiven and cleansed by the Blood of Jesus, when we repent
7. Because we believe this we will live also in Christ Jesus, he will resurrect our dead bodies to our spirit and soul
The Holy Bible has taught me through the Church (Body Of Christ), that if we ask God (Jehovah) to forgive us for what we have done against him, then God will forgive us, and we are on our way to Heaven with all the church. You then must live a life that is showing God and the world, you have repented and live for God. Study God's Word (Holy Bible) on what is pleasing to him, walk before God in Spirit and in Truth, knowing you belong to him and you are saved on your way to Heaven. All the Church of this Creation will be together at the End, we are all brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Articles of Faith
Article One
We believe there is but one living and true
God everlasting, of infinite power, wisdom and goodness; Maker and Preserver of
all things, both visible and invisible. And in the unity of this Godhead there
are three Persons of one substance of eternal being, and equal in holiness,
justice, wisdom, power, and dignity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
(See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Two
We believe that the Son, who is the Word of
the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took
man's nature in the womb of the blessed virgin; so that two whole and perfect
natures, that is to say, the Godhead and the manhood were joined together in one
Person, never to be divided, whereof is one Christ, very God and perfect man,
who actually suffered, was crucified, dead, and buried, to reconcile the Father
to us, and to make atonement, not only for our actual guilt, but also for
original sin. (See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Three
We believe that Christ did truly rise again
from the dead, and took again His body, with all things appertaining to the
perfections of man's nature, and ascended into heaven and there sits until He
shall return to judge all men at the last day. (See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Four
We believe the Holy Ghost, proceeding from
the Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty and glory with the Father
and the Son, very and eternal God. (See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Five
We believe in the verbal and plenary
inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, known as the Bible, composed of sixty-six
books and divided into two departments, Old and New Testaments. We believe the
Bible is the Word of God, the full and complete revelation of the plan and
history of redemption. (See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Six
We believe that eternal life with God in
heaven is a portion of the reward of the finally righteous; and that everlasting
banishment from the presence of the Lord and unending torture in hell are the
wages of the persistently wicked (Matthew 25:46; Psalm 9:17; Revelation 21:7-8).
(See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Seven
We believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood
for the remission of sins that are past, for the regeneration of penitent
sinners, and for salvation from sin and from sinning (Romans 3:25; 1 John
3:5-10; Ephesians 2:1-10). (See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Eight
We believe, teach, and firmly maintain the
scriptural doctrine of justification by faith alone (Romans 5:1). (See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Nine
We believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood
for the complete cleansing of the justified believer from all indwelling sin and
from its pollution, subsequent to regeneration (1 John 1:7-9). (See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Ten
We believe in sanctification. While
sanctification is initiated in regeneration and consummated in glorification, we
believe that it includes a definite, instantaneous work of grace achieved by
faith subsequent to regeneration (Acts 26:18; 1 John 1:9). Sanctification
delivers from the power and dominion of sin. It is followed by life-long growth
in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:16;
2 Peter 3:18).(See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Eleven
We believe that the pentecostal baptism of
the Holy Ghost and fire is obtainable by a definite act of appropriating faith
on the part of the fully cleansed believer, and the initial evidence of the
reception of this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives
utterance (Luke 11:13; Acts 1:5; 2:14, 8-17; 10:44-46; 19:6). (See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Twelve
We believe in divine healing as in the
atonement (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:14-18; James 5:14-16; Exodus
15:26). (See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Thirteen
We believe in the imminent, personal,
premillennial second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17;
Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 3:1-4; Matthew 24:29-44), and love and wait for His
appearing (2 Timothy 4:8). (See
Amplification Page for details)
Article Fourteen
We believe it is the responsibility of every believer to dedicate his life to carrying out the work of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Acts 1:8).(See Amplification Page for details)
