My Beliefs

Grace and Peace to You.

Hello everyone! I hope that you are living the Spirit filled life! I also hope that you are growing in the knowledge of who our Lord and Savior, Jesus is!.

These are troubling days indeed! We are living in the end of days and all the prophecies spoken in regard to these days are coming to pass. There are famines, wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, children betraying parents, siblings turning in one another for religious persecution, you name the end times prophecy and it's taking place. Therefore, I've decided to put up these things on my profile page to clearly state who I am and what I believe in.
Many will give up and will betray and hate each other. Many false prophets will come and fool a lot of people. Evil will spread and cause many people to stop loving others. But if you keep on being faithful right to the end, you will be saved. (Matthew 24:10-13 CEV)

What I Believe

Trinity
I believe that God is one and the only god. Revealed to us through three persons. The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. {Isa. 9:6; Jn. 5:18, 10:30, 14:10-11,16-17; Php. 2:5-6; 2Pet. 1:1}
Redemption
I believe that man was created without sin, but fell in Eden through which all men afterward were tainted by sin, until the last man, Jesus had come to cleanse all of mankind of sin through the sacrifice of his sinless body. {Rom. 3:19-25, 5:9-21;1 Jn. 2:2, 4:10,15}
Salvation
I believe that the only way for mankind to receive eternal life is by faith in Jesus Christ alone and his work of redemption upon the cross. Without faith in Jesus, man remains separated and under condemnation and the wrath of God. {Mk 16:16; Jn. 3:16-21, 6:40, 44, 8:23-24, 31-32, 10:1-9, 25-30}
The Great Commission
I believe in the Great Commission of our LORD and Savior to preach His Gospel to the whole world until His return. I believe that this commission has not ended and will never end until Christ returns. {Mt. 24:14; Mk 16:15; Acts 17:30-31; Ro. 10:14-17}
Second Coming
I believe in the Second coming of our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ. That it has not yet taken place, but will happen at the end of the Great Tribulation at the last trumpet. I believe that scripture is very clear that Jesus' return will be a very visible event seen by all of humanity, and His return will be skyward toward the Earth. I also believe as Jesus said, that no man knows the exact day nor hour, but He has granted us to discern the season. {Acts 1:11; Heb. 9:27-28; Mt. 24:24-28, 32-33, 36; Lk 17:22-30}
Resurrection
I believe in a future resurrection of the Saints. That this will occur when Jesus Christ returns to the Earth, with the Saints who have fallen asleep, to begin his Millennial reign. I believe that we will not precede those Saints who have gone before us. That means that I believe that we will not be "caught up" in the clouds before those saints who have already died are at first resurrected. {Lk. 20:37; 1 Co. 15:51-58; 1Th. 4:16-17; Rev. 20:1-6}
Hell & the Lake of Fire
I believe in an eternal place of torment and punishment to all those who do not believe in Jesus Christ and obey the message of His Gospel. {Mat. 7:21, 18:5-9; Mk. 9:42-48; Lk. 12:5; 2 Th. 1:7-9; 2 Pe. 2:4-11; Rev. 20:9-15}

I am 100 percent for God's people, and I don't like it when false teachings are spread among us. I've seen Satan use people's pain or doubt in order to make them hate God or embrace and spread unbiblical teachings. I pray that you're not one of those people, so please take this seriously and begin to ask God to expose to you all those false doctrines and to protect you from the schemes of Satan who would seduce you with crafty words.
"I pray that God will punish anyone who preaches anything different from our message to you! It doesn't matter if that person is one of us or an angel from heaven. I have said it before, and I will say it again. I hope God will punish anyone who preaches anything different from what you have already believed." (Galatians 1:8-9 CEV)
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.(Psa 119:2)
God bless you! Michael.
