What We Believe

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
—1 Peter 4:11

This page outlines the core convictions and scriptural positions held by this blog. These are not creeds of men, but clear teachings of Scripture rightly divided (2 Timothy 2:15).

1. The Bible
It is complete, sufficient, and authoritative in all matters of doctrine and practice (2 Timothy 3:16–17).

2. God
We believe in one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Word (Son), and the Holy Ghost (1 John 5:7).

3. Jesus Christ
Jesus is God in the flesh, not merely a man, but the eternal Word made flesh (John 1:1,14; Colossians 2:9). He was virgin-born, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, was buried, rose on the third day, and now reigns as Head of His church (1 Corinthians 15:1–4).

4. The Church
The church was planned by God before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 3:9–11).
It was built by Christ, purchased with His blood, and established in Acts 2 in Jerusalem (Matthew 16:18; Acts 2:47; Acts 20:28).
The church is not a denomination, but the one body of Christ (Ephesians 1:22–23; 4:4–6).

5. Salvation
Man is saved by the grace of God through obedient faith (Titus 2:11–12; Hebrews 5:9).
One must hear the gospel (Romans 10:17), believe (Mark 16:16), repent (Acts 2:38), confess Christ (Romans 10:9–10), and be baptized (immersed) for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21).
The saved are added by the Lord to His church (Acts 2:47).

6. Worship
Worship must be in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). We reject unscriptural additions such as mechanical instruments in worship (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16).
Women are not permitted to preach or usurp authority over men in the assembly (1 Timothy 2:11–12; 1 Corinthians 14:34).

7. Christian Life
Christians are called to live holy, obedient lives, distinct from the world (Romans 12:1–2; Titus 2:12).
Good works do not earn salvation, but they are the fruit of faith and evidence of true conversion (James 2:17–24).

8. Final Judgment
Christ will return to judge the world in righteousness (Acts 17:30–31).
There is no second chance after death, no purgatory, and no millennial reign — but a final separation of the righteous and the wicked (Hebrews 9:27; Matthew 25:46).

Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them.

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog " Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them. " Text: Mark 11:24 Introduction This Bible sermon explains the true meaning of Mark 11:24 , where Jesus teaches about believing prayer. Many misunderstand this verse as a promise that God will grant any request, but Scripture shows that prayer must be made in Christ’s name, according to His will, and from a life of obedience . Learn what the Bible really teaches about faithful prayer. Brethren and friends, listen carefully to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 11:24 : “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” This verse is powerful. It is encouraging. It strengthens our faith in prayer. But it is also one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible today.

The Deity of Christ — Lecture 1

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ⟵ Previous Next ⟶ The Foundational Thesis — Why the Deity of Christ Is Central to Salvation and Doctrine THE DEITY OF CHRIST — LECTURE 1 Introduction: The Question That Determines Everything There is no question more critical in all of Scripture than this: Who is Jesus Christ? Not merely what men say, not what traditions teach, but what the Word of God declares. For upon this question rests the foundation of salvation, the authority of doctrine, and the very identity of God as revealed to man. In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asked His disciples, “But whom say ye that I am?” This was not a casual inquiry—it was a dividing line between truth and error, life and condemnation. The answer given by Peter, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16), becomes the cornerstone of true faith. Yet Scripture does not leave this confession undefined. The Bible itself explains what...

“For Now I Know” — God’s Response to Faith With Works

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog Sermon: “ For Now I Know ” — God’s Response To Faith With Works Text: Genesis 22:12 God’s Words Are For Us, Not For Him Brethren, when we read, “for now I know that thou fearest God,” we must remember that God did not write the Scriptures for Himself—He wrote them for us (Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16). The Lord has always been all-knowing (Psalm 139:1–4; Isaiah 46:10). He knew Abraham’s heart before Abraham even moved. But God chose to phrase it this way—“for now I know”—to communicate something to us. It is not that God gained new knowledge, but that He demonstrated in a way we can understand that true faith is proven by obedience. Faith Is Only Real When It Acts Notice, brethren, Abraham was already a man of faith before Genesis 22. Hebrews 11:8 says he obeyed when he was called to go out. But here, his faith reached its highest test—offering Isaac, his only son. Faith alone in the mind would not have satisfied God. James ...

IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD? A Doctrinal Examination by Scripture Alone 📖 WHAT DOES “Pleasing to God” MEAN? To ask whether Christmas celebration is pleasing to God is not a cultural question but a doctrinal one . Scripture defines what pleases God—not human sentiment, tradition, emotion, or majority practice. “ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him .” (Hebrews 11:6) What pleases God is: · Faith grounded in His revealed will · Obedience to His commands · Worship offered according to His authority “ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. ” (2 John 9) ☛ Thus, anything done “for God” but without His authorization is not pleasing—no matter how sincere . ✎ Key Questio...

The Deity of Christ — Lecture 2

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ⟵ Previous Next ⟶ The Unity and Nature of God — Monotheism Without Compromise (Old Testament Foundation) THE DEITY OF CHRIST — LECTURE 2 Introduction: The Foundation That Cannot Be Broken Before we can establish the deity of Christ, we must first establish this unshakable truth: There is only one God. Any claim that Jesus is God must not contradict this truth—but must fully harmonize with it. The Bible does not allow: Multiple gods (polytheism) Nor a divided God Instead, it consistently declares from Genesis to Malachi: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” (Deuteronomy 6:4) This is the foundation. If this is misunderstood, everything that follows will collapse. I. The Absolute Oneness of God in the Old Testament The Old Testament repeatedly declares that God is one and only . “I am the LORD, and there is none else...

HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”) HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”) A Cry From the Other Side Brethren and friends, there is a cry that still trembles across eternity — not from heaven, but from torment. In Luke 16, our Lord Jesus pulls back the curtain of the unseen world to show us a rich man who lived for himself and a beggar named Lazarus who suffered in life but was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man, now in anguish, lifts up his eyes and pleads for his brothers who are still alive. “Send Lazarus,” he begs, “that he may warn them.” But Abraham’s answer pierces like thunder: “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.” Oh brethren, hear that line again — let them hear them. The Lord is s...

ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST? Main Text: Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Beloved, my friend… allow me to speak to you not as an enemy, but as one who cares for your soul. I am not here to attack you. I am not here to argue with you. I am here to ask you something—something simple, yet something that may change everything about your life, your faith, and your eternity. My friend… what church are you a member of? Have you ever truly asked yourself that question—not just by name, but by truth? Who built that church you belong to? When did it begin? Was it established in the days of the apostles… or was it started by a man many years later? And more importantly… can you find that church in the New Testament? Pause for a moment. Think carefully. If we open the Bible—not traditions, not history books...
