SOLVING THE SIN PROBLEM

STATEMENT OF FAITH... 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

ARE YOU CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE? ...IF SO, WHY? 
SALVATION IS NOT EARNED THROUGH PERSONAL MERIT BUT IS A FREE GIFT FROM JESUS…Rom.10:3 For they don’t understand that Christ has died to make them right with God. Instead they are trying to make themselves good enough to gain God’s favor by keeping the laws and customs, but that is not God’s way of salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. 
EVERYONE HAS SINNED AND EVERYONE NEEDS JESUS…Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
JESUS IS THE ONLY SAVIOR…John 1:29 Behold, the Lamb of God (Jesus), which taketh away the sin of the world. Mark 10:45 (Jesus came) to give his life a ransom for many. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 
JESUS PAID FOR ALL OUR SINS ON THE CROSS AND WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD…1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures 
SIMPLY BELIEVE ON JESUS AND ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN IS PROMISED AND GUARANTEED…John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? Acts 16:30-31 Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved-John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. Rom. 8: 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come.39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
