What We Believe

Christians are identified by several things, but among the chief demarcations of true believers is Who and what they believe. As it is written,

"This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2.3,4

James wrote that God has given us the new birth through the word of truth. James 1.18 Apart from the truth, there is no life and, therefore, no salvation.

Believers are jealous for the truth, willing to "contend for the faith." Their steadfast and unyielding insistence that the truth they believe is the only truth does not arise from a sense of personal superiority. They count themselves no better than other men. But they do consider the God they worship, the Christ they trust, and the truth they hold fast to be superior to other religions. More then that, they do not consider the truth they believe to be merely superior to other "truths" but the only truth there is. All else is false.

Paul wrote that there is one faith, and Peter said that all believers have a common faith. If there is but one faith, it cannot be that all the variations of "Christianity" are valid and true.

We will not enter the argument as to how much a man must know before he can be in possession of saving faith. Rather, we will follow the principle of the Apostle John in 1 John 4.6:

We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

We will simply declare the truth as we know it and leave it to our readers to decide whether or not we are of God.
