As God's son, Jesus is both human and divine.&nbsp;</p> <p class="p1">Man was created innocent but, willingly fell into sin which led his to physical &amp; spiritual death.</p> <p class="p1"><strong>EVERY</strong> person, regardless of past mistakes and sins, can have a new beginning (salvation) with&nbsp;God by entering into a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord.</p> <p class="p1">Total forgiveness (justification) occurs at salvation and then begins a progressive, lifelong&nbsp;process of drawing closer to God and becoming more and more like Jesus (sanctification).</p> <p class="p2">&nbsp;The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a uniquely personal experience following salvation that&nbsp;empowers believers, just as it did in the New Testament.</p> <p class="p1">We expect manifestations of the Holy Spirit as recorded in the Book of Acts. God is the same&nbsp;yesterday, today and forever; therefore all gifts of the Spirit are still available to those who&nbsp;believe.</p> <p class="p1">We baptize by Immersion to publicly honor Christ's gift of salvation and to outwardly&nbsp;demonstrate the inward transformation.</p> <p class="p1">We serve The Lord's Supper (Communion) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's sacrificial&nbsp;death.</p> <p class="p1">The Church is the Body of Christ and consists of those who have a personal relationship with&nbsp;Him and have accepted God's offer of redemption. Christ has commissioned the Church to reach&nbsp;out to the unsaved and offer the gift of God's love and salvation to all who are lost. The church&nbsp;is also responsible for looking after orphans and widows.</p> <p class="p1">The Bible teaches that everyone must commit to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with&nbsp;other believers, and to build up the body of believers, the Church.</p> <p class="p1">Jesus Christ will return to rapture His Church.</p> <p class="p1">Those who have a personal, intimate relationship with Christ will spend eternity in His care;&nbsp;those who do not will face a final judgment and will receive the penalty for their sin....Our&nbsp;greatest desire is to lead multitudes to salvation!</p>Wed, 19 Oct 2011 09:24:00 -0500Homehttp://forgivenchurch.tv/http://forgivenchurch.tv/<p><a href="/page/gary-smalley"><img title="Love and Laughter with Gary Smalley" src="/uploads/Web-Banner.jpg" alt="Love and Laughter with Gary Smalley" width="400" height="230" /></a></p>Tue, 18 Oct 2011 12:29:00 -0500
