My Core Beliefs

Because many have emailed me about my belief here it is

I believe the original text of the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
I believe there is one eternal, almighty and perfect God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
I believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
I believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. I believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost (do not except the knowlege of  God) unto the resurrection of damnation.
I believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
I also acceptance the Nicean Creed of AD 325 and Chalcedon Creed of AD 451 which I will write about in my next blog entry

What is Marriage to Christian People? Is or faith Being Held Hostage

This country was founded on christian principles and traditions. Why must we loose our heritage and freedom of religions? There is a terrible wind blowing in our country to strike at biblical principles common to most christian denominations, marriage. In the Book of Genesis The institute of marriage is considered ordained by God for the lifelong relationship between one man as husband and one woman as wife. “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” (Mark 10:6–9).
Religious orders are formed when people in a religion disagree like Calvinist, Baptist, Presbyterian, so forth and so on. While I do not wish to see churches splitting, I do think that those who believe it okay to say that marriage spoken of in the bible is wrong should do as they wish but not at the expense of the church. It is their right and we have rights. It is wrong to do thing in a purpose mean way to prove your own theory or validate relationships. Washingtonians in DC are being shut out of a vote on the ballot by council members. Is that right? Please pray for this country. Is this how the Christians felt in the days of Christ. We are in the lion's den. If you want to support the fight in DC visit http://www.stand4marriagedc.com/takeaction/
