What do we believe?
The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God (2 Timothy 3:16)
God has provided promises in the Bible that are true and will be fulfilled (Hebrews 6:17, 18; Hebrews 10:23).
Jesus died as a ransom for the sins of the whole world (John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:22; Luke 3:6).
Jesus was created as the only begotten son of God (Colossians 1:15;Revelation 3:14).
Jesus was used as God's craftsman (or master worker) in the beginning.Through him, all things that are came into existence. (Proverbs 8:25-31;Colossians 1:15, 16).
Consecrated Christians will be resurrected to glorified heavenly life to co-rule with Christ over his kingdom for a thousand years (Romans 8:16, 17).
Armageddon does not mean the destruction of humanity, but a change in governmental administration. This change will mean the replacement of earthly governments by a heavenly one (Psalms 78:69; Psalms 104:5; Ecclesiastes 1:4; Isaiah 66:22; Isaiah 65:17; 2 Peter 3:13).
After Armageddon, the remainder of humanity in the memorial tombs will experience a resurrection to life on earth (John 5:25, 28, 29; Revelation 20:13).
There will be a thousand year period (a millennium) where mankind will be assisted and guided back to perfection like the first human; father Adam. At the end of the thousand years, faithful mankind will become sons of God and will live forever on earth (Revelation 20:4; Revelation 21:3, 4).
To Us The Scriptures Clearly Teach:
That the Church is "the Temple of the Living God"--peculiarly "His workmanship;" that its construction has been in progress throughout the Gospel age--ever since Christ became the world's Redeemer and the chief corner stone of this Temple, through which, when finished, God's blessings shall come "to all people," and they find access to him.--1 Cor. 3:16,17; Eph. 2:20-22; Gen. 28:14; Gal. 3:29.
That meantime the chiseling, shaping and polishing, of consecrated believers in Christ's atonement for sin, progresses; and when the last of these "living stones," "elect and precious," shall have been made ready, the great Master Workman will bring all together in the First Resurrection; and the Temple shall be filled with his glory, and be the meeting place between God and men throughout the Millennium.--Rev. 15:5-8.
That the Basis of Hope, for the Church and the World, lies in the fact that "Jesus Christ, by the grace of God, tasted death for every man," "a ransom for all," and will be "the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world," "in due time."--Heb. 2:9; John 1:9; 1 Tim. 2:5,6.
That the Hope of the Church is that she may be like her Lord, "see him as he is," be "partaker of the divine nature," and share his glory as his joint-heir.--1 John 3:2; John 17:24; Rom. 8:17; 2 Pet. 1:4.
That the present mission of the Church is the perfecting of the saints for the future work of service; to develop in herself every grace; to be God's witness to the world; and to prepare to be the kings and priests of the next age.--Eph. 4:12; Matt. 24:14; Rev. 1:6; 20:6.
That the hope for the World lies in the blessings of knowledge and opportunity to be brought to all by Christ's Millennial Kingdom--the restitution of all that was lost in Adam, to all the willing and obedient, at the hands of their Redeemer and his glorified Church.--Acts 3:19-21; Isa. 35
