1. Heart felt salvation by grace, through faith, not works.(Eph. 2:8-10)


2. All people can be saved no matter their past.(Ro. 4:1-16)


3. Only one god, who is all knowing and is revealed to us in the Holy Trinity- Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. These three are equaly perfect because they are one and the same.(Ps. 24:1-10;Ps. 139:1-12; Ps. 90:1-3; Ps. 19:1-14; John 4:24; Rev. 4:11; Matt. 28:19...)


4. The Holy Bible, including both the Old and New Testaments, are god's word and therefore can not be edited by man. It shows how to live your life, the path to heaven, and any other advice or rules needed by man.


5. Man was created pure, in the image of God, but by his own free will fell into sin and death. Mankind is now, by nature, sinful, depraved, unholy, and spiritually dead, and liable to eternal punishment. (Gen. 1:27; Gen. 2:16-17; Eph. 2:1-3; Ps. 51:5; Ps. 58:2-5; Acts 17:26-29)


6. Babies and small children are provided salvation through the death of Christ, because the gospel is directed toward accountable sinners. Young children do not have the capability to repent and believe in God's word. Also are the mentally challenged provided for through the death of Christ, because they lack the ability to understand god's word and repent, and therefore will never reach the age of accountability.


7. Jesus christ is the only saviour. He was the only one that could save us from our sins.(Gal. 4:4-5)


8. Repentance must come before faith for salvation to occur, and must be accompanied by Godly sorrow and prayer for true faith to occur in both mind and heart. and one must be saved before baptism and church membership. (Rom. 10:9; Gal. 5:6; Acts 15:9)


9. Every saved person has eternal life. (John 5:24)


10. Sunday is the sabbath and should be devoted to God, and that we should refrain from unneccesarry work.


11. There will be a ressurection of the bodies of both the saved and unsaved at the end of the world, and the soul and body shall meet again.(John 3:290


12. Saved people go to heaven, and lost people go to hell, but all must face God upon death.(Matt. 7:21-27)

This is only the beginning of what I've figured out about my beliefs... I've expressed some of them on here already and therefore I'm not going to repeat myself... I want to be closer to God, and I feel as though I am getting closer, but it isn't enough. I'm not sure that there will ever be a point where I am willing to say this is as close to God as I can get, so I can stop trying now. In fact I don't want that to happen. I want to grow and flurish in my faith and in my life. God has given me so much already. Salvation. A loving family who saw to it that I was taken to church and that I heard the word of God. Wonderful friends who do their best to support me. A loving boyfriend who understands me and believes in me, who also wants to be closer to the Lord, who is saved, who loves me for who I am and doesn't try to change me. Its because of him that I am on this site, reading my bible more, discovering myself. He has changed me for the better, and I am eternally grateful. It is because of Jared that I have learned to put God first in my life, and to never let anyone or anything come between me and God. I knew that I was supose to be doing this before, but there is a big difference in knowing you are supose to do something and doing it. I love God. I love Jared. I love everyone and everything. God Bless
