What I believe and know to be true

A Solid Foundation
In christ Jesus

If you wonder where I stand as far as theology, I hope this page will give you some idea.

About the Bible

The Bible is the Inspired Word of God in its original manuscript with out error.
I am not one who holds to "King James Only" for God's word needs to be understood by all and in their own language. It is a slap in the face of men who gave their lives to have the Bible translated into English to now say that only one old translation is all that is acceptable.
The whole of scripture (old and new testament) are valid today and "are profitable for teaching, preaching reproof and rebuke". (as Paul so well stated)

The person of Christ

Christ was with the Father and Spirit as the foundations of all of creation were made.
Christ was present throughout the Old Testament and is seen several times in the Old Testament
Christ chose to leave his divinity and take the form of a man born lowly that He may redeem His creation unto Himself.
Christ chose to take the cross and gave up His life on that cross so we may have communion with the Father.
Christ physically rose from the dead and later ascended into Heaven
Christ will one day return and bring Judgment and Freedom.

The End Times
please note: this is not an issue to divide over so long as you believe in Christ's eventual physical return

I believe in a "mid tribulation" rapture of the church. You may ask why...

First Christ stated that we are appointed to tribulation; however not to wrath
If Christians are removed from the world, who then would be witness of Him
One doesn't see a "great multitude in heaven until well into the Revelation
please note there is more, however not enough room here to show and tell all. Feel free to contact me on this.

On the Church today (negative)

I feel the church especially here in America that we need a time of repentance.
- Accountability in church leadership has fallen off sharply
- Far too many believers don't study God's Word on a consistent basis.
- Churches are going PC and voting on things that God has said point blank "No" to.
- Many churches no longer meet the needs of individuals or communities
- Several churches look at the "numbers" rather than the life changing.
On the Church today (Positive)
- The church was first to respond to Katrina Victims with out question or Politics
- Many churches are beginning to bridge gaps between races - more work is needed
- People are beginning to pray again, more often and with more fervency
- People are once again desiring to the real truth
Working of the Holy Spirit
- I believe and know the Spirit of God is at work in the heart of believers and in His church today!
- I believe fully that God's Spirit will draw some to be pastors, prophets Apostles teachers and evangelists (per scripture) even today.
- I believe that the Gifts of the Spirit are fully available to us as Christians today but again per scripture, "As the Spirit Wills".
But wait there is more to what I believe...Why not come and talk with me about it. This is your invitation to come on out to Church and worship our Living God together!
