We Believe In One God
QUESTION: “In a statement of faith, they said, ‘We believe in one God, eternal, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19, 18 and 19; I Corinthians 13:14.’ Should this not be three offices instead of three persons?”
You are correct. There is no three persons in the Godhead. And there cannot be a personality without being a person. It takes a person to make a personality. There is no three Gods. There is only one God, and that God is Jesus Christ. God is a Spirit that lived in Jesus Christ, and is living in His church, you and I, today, separating Himself to us in the form of the Holy Spirit, which is God Almighty, Himself, living in you. Now, you are right, it is “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,” is three offices of the same God, but not three Gods. That is scripturally wrong.

We Believe In The Bible
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error, and is the final authority of faith and practice.
About Salvation
Salvation does not come by denomination or by education. It’s comes by an experience of being borned again of the Spirit of God with the Spirit of Christ living in your body. Now, that is true.
But it was not so from the beginning

What We Believe On Eternity
So, listen. There is only one form of Eternal Life. Find It. That is, God alone has Eternal Life. The Bible said so. God alone has Eternal Life. And if a man is going to suffer in hell, forever, he’s got to have God, Eternal. But I say that there…
Now, remember, I’m not saying there’s not a burning hell. There is a burning hell, fire and brimstone. “Where the—the worm is…the fire isn’t quenched and the worm never dies,” of fire and brimstone, a punishment. It may last for a hundred billion years. But it has to have an end, for hell was created for the devil and his angels. And everything that the very God, Himself, which was in the beginning, everything come off of God.

We Believe In God’s Design For The Church
We believe the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and making Him known to a lost world.
Who is God?
Now, let’s take back a—a hundred billion years ago, and then take back a hundred billion years before that. And just keep on going back. Here not long ago, I was in California. There’s an observatory. They have a glass there. And they can see a hundred and twenty million years of light-space when I…?… How fast light travels. And beyond that is still space. That’s where we’re hanging in that tonight. But let’s think of before there ever was anything, there was God. He was in the beginning. And let’s see Him, and picture Him out there in—in space. That’s Jehovah we’re speaking of. And watch how the trinity of God comes to man just for a moment.
And there, that great space where no one can fathom in their mind beyond that, that space, eternity. That’s Jehovah God out there. And we’re taught in the beginning, that the Logos, or the Son of God went out of God. Now, I do not believe in eternal sonship. That’s even radical to even mention such a thing, eternal sonship. How… He had a eternal sonship…?… way, it’s even eternal sonship, how could He be a Son? He had to have a beginning. See?. So He first was God, Jehovah. And out of Him… Let’s just picture now as a little drama so you can get it. Let’s see coming out of space where there’s nothing, let’s make it a little white Light, like a mystic Light, like a Halo. And that was the Logos that went out of God in the beginning. That was the Son of God that came out of the bosom of the Father. That was what was in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us. In the beginning was God. And then out of God came the Logos, a part of God that went out of God. Let’s notice this. Now, I have to make this before going back into it, just like a little picture drama here for you a moment, in order to get one point to you, Who… What is in our midst tonight. And in there… Now, see, this is just like a child playing before the door. It was the Son of God, the Logos. And I can see Him out there, and He spake, and said, “Let there be light.” And there was nothing. But there was something happened, and a atom turned there and begin to whirl around this a way. The sun begin to come into existence, because He said, “Let there be.” There’s the authority. Where did He make it from? I don’t know. There was nothing to make it from. But He believed His own Word, and there was light. I can see a piece fly off of that; it’s a meteor. After a few million years, or a hundred billions of years, if you want to call it, and it circled way out. I see Him standing there watching it. And it falls down in here. He stops it after it falls a few million years, and let it hang there in orbit. Here goes another one flying off the sun. It goes over here and hangs down, stops it there.
