The question about infant baptism often arises in the minds of parents of newborns. Should parents support and allow their child to be baptized as an infant? To help answer this question it is important to understand the purpose of baptism. When we review the gospels we are commanded to “go forth and make disciples.” According to the book of Mathew Chapter 28 verses 19 and 20, the Bible tells us to “…baptize in the name of the father, son, and holy spirit, teaching them to Read the rest...

Question: Can one who commits suicide be saved? Answer: Suicide is a grave sin equivalent to murder (Exodus 20:13; 21:23), but it can be forgiven like any other sin. And Scripture says clearly that those redeemed by God have been forgiven for all their sins--past, present, and future (Colossians 2:13-14). Paul says in Romans 8:38-39 that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. So if a true Christian would commit suicide in a time of extreme weakness, he or she Read the rest...

Now days the Christian Church is facing one of the biggest battles of it’s time. Slowly some Churches and some ministries are not preaching the truth. They try to make the Gospel as soft as they can so that the sinner will some how stay in their church. Now. Here is my question. If you preach a wrong Jesus and represent the wrong Jesus- will the person hearing that message get saved? I would honestly say no. You might ask, why not. Remember that Jesus asked "Who do you say that I am?"(Mk Read the rest...

Women are not to be pastors or elders is because the Scriptures specifically prohibit such action. The apostle Paul, in communicating to Timothy the policies, practices, and principles which are to govern "how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God" (1 Tim. 3:15) states: But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was Read the rest...

By reading the bible the Believer has been shown that 'doctrine' is the whole counsel of God. It includes every word of the Christian Bible, which is all useful for teaching - as 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us - without exception and without alteration. Now that the Believer understands something about 'doctrine' he/she is in a position to examine those aspects of doctrine shown to us in scripture which can, for human study purposes, be referred to as various 'teachings', i.e. the teaching on Read the rest...

The New Testament repeatedly emphasizes the importance of local assemblies. In fact, it was the pattern of Paul's ministry to establish local congregations in the cities where he preached the gospel. Hebrews 10:24-25 commands every believer to be a part of such a local body and reveals why this is necessary. "And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the Read the rest...

We believe the Old Testament regulations governing Sabbath observances are ceremonial, not moral, aspects of the law. As such, they are no longer in force, but have passed away along with the sacrificial system, the Levitical priesthood, and all other aspects of Moses' law that prefigured Christ. Here are the reasons we hold this view. In Colossians 2:16-17, Paul explicitly refers to the Sabbath as a shadow of Christ, which is no longer binding since the substance (Christ) has come. It is Read the rest...

Two kinds of giving are taught consistently throughout Scripture: giving to the government (always compulsory), and giving to God (always voluntary). The issue has been greatly confused, however, by some who misunderstand the nature of the Old Testament tithes. Tithes were not primarily gifts to God, but taxes for funding the national budget in Israel. Because Israel was a theocracy, the Levitical priests acted as the civil government. So the Levite's tithe (Leviticus 27:30-33) was a Read the rest...

Here are some ways that you can recognize a healthy well-balanced church. 1) A right understanding of the BIBLEThe good church will be correct in its belief about the Bible. It will believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. God has spoken! He has not left mankind to grope about in the dark searching for the truth. He has given mankind an infallible written revelation of Himself and the way of salvation. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for Read the rest...
