THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IN ONE SENTENCE God became a man, Jesus Christ and He died on the cross to pay for all our sins and was raised bodily from the dead to guarantee the gift of eternal life and heaven to all who believe that Christ alone provides salvation and eternal life through faith in Him alone. 
OUR OPERATING PRINCIPLE IS: IN ESSENTIALS, UNITY. IN NON-ESSENTIALS, LIBERTY. IN ALL THINGS, CHARITY. 
OUR 3 ESSENTIAL DOGMAS 
1) Jesus Christ is the eternal God, the only Savior and the sole source of eternal life. Jesus is the ETERNAL GOD manifest in the flesh as the "SON OF GOD". 
2) We receive the gift of eternal life by grace ALONE, through faith ALONE, in Christ ALONE. NO WORKS ARE REQUIRED to get saved, stay saved or prove one’s salvation. When Jesus died on the cross, He paid for the sins of the WHOLE world. When Jesus rose from the dead, He proved He has power over life and death. Jesus offers LIFE EVERLASTING as a free gift to EVERYONE. We rely entirely on JESUS CHRIST for our salvation and eternal life. 
3) Our salvation is eternally secure. Eternal life means eternal security and we cannot lose it for ANY reason. Once we have believed...our salvation is irrevocable by God or by us. 
AGAINST DOGMATISM 
James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 
Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. 1 
Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear (gentleness and respect) 
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 
“Remember why we debate. We have nothing to lose but the errors we hold. Who but a stubborn fool would hold on to errors once they have been exposed?” Unknown 
“When an honestly mistaken man learns the truth, he will either no longer be mistaken or he will cease to be honest” Unknown 
C.E.S. CHATROOM PROTOCOLS 
This is a live, online program but it is still “CHURCH”. The moderators serve as our “DEACONS”. All conduct should be the same as your local church meetings. BE NICE AND KIND TO EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DISAGREE. If someone gets rude then we should issue a warning, then a timeout, then they will be REMOVED. TROLLS must be REMOVED quickly and decisively. When we remove a troll we should post a comment stating that we judged them as a troll. FALSE TEACHERS, those who challenge our CORE DOCTRINES will be stopped immediately. They will be told that if they disagree with our CORE DOCTRINES then we can arrange a time and place to discuss it. THIS IS NOT THE TIME AND PLACE. If they persist then they will be REMOVED. OFF TOPIC; we require that everyone stay on topic. If someone tries to divert the conversation then they will be politely asked to stay on topic. If they will not comply then they will be REMOVED. If someone is off topic but has an urgent and immediate need i.e. prayer, bring it to our attention so we can acknowledge it. Then a moderator will take them aside to help them. If a moderator disagrees with the decision and action of another moderator they must not challenge or argue with them in the chat room. They should ask to speak privately with them. At that time they can discuss the problem and try to come to an understanding. If we conclude that the judgment was unfair and not according to these chatroom protocols then the complaint should be brought to the Church panel for further discussion at a later time. These rules must be applied equally to all, even to our closest friends in the congregation.
TRUISMS
PEOPLE DON'T CARE HOW MUCH YOU KNOW, UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE
IT'S NOT THE MEASURE OF FAITH BUT THE OBJECT OF FAITH THAT SAVES
I AM A CHRISTIAN
I BELIEVE IN BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY
JESUS IS THE OBJECT OF MY FAITH
THE GOSPEL IS THE GIFT AND THE GUARANTEE OF ETERNAL LIFE
THE GOSPEL IS ETERNAL SECURITY
ETERNAL LIFE MEANS ETERNAL SECURITY
THE GOSPEL IS SALVATION NOT PROBATION
THE GOSPEL IS BELIEVE NOT BEHAVE
BELIEVE BECAUSE YOU ARE LOST, BEHAVE BECAUSE YOU ARE SAVED
SALVATION IS NOT A SIN ISSUE IT IS A SON ISSUE
RELIGION SAYS DO BUT JESUS SAYS DONE
WE HAVE A LICENSE TO REST
GRACE MEANS “NO WORKS”
WORKS NEVER WORK FOR SALVATION
