Our Statement of Faith
The Word As It Is Written
1 John 5:1-18
1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of
God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him
also that is begotten of him. 2 By this we know that we love
the children of God, when we love God, and keep his
commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep
his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this
is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth
that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus
Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is
the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is
truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are
one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the
Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree
in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of
God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath
testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in
himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
because he believeth not the record that God gave of his
Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath
the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath
not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that
believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that
ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of
the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if
we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know
that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 16 If any
man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he
shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not
unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he
shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there
is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he
that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one
toucheth him not. 19 And we know that we are of God, and the
whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son
of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we
may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true,
even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and
eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from
idols. Amen.
Revelation 22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of
the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these
things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written
in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his
part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are written in this book.
