Non-Denominational faith tenet - 04/14/03 02:26 AM
Hello,
I was recently asked to listen to a precher at a particular church. I am SeventhDay Adventist and I thought I would listen to get an idea of what kind of message these non-denominational churches preach, and as I was on their website I noticed a link called Tenet of Faith and some things seemed biblical I will post all of their tenets and higlight one that immediately struck me as not being biblically based. I am very happy to know that our SDA denomination clearly backs everyone of our 27 fundamental beliefs with biblical verses and speak the truth according to the Word of God.
God Bless,
Will

quote:If I understand this correctly this seems as if you need to speak in tongues as a criteria for salvation? Am I misinterpreting this?
We believe... that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe... in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, and in His bodily resurrection.
We believe... the Bible to be the inspired and infallible Word of God.
We believe... in salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe... in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as a subsequent gift to salvation.
We believe... in the provision of bodily healing in the atoning work of Jesus our Savior.
We believe... in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ and the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the saved unto eternal life, living eternally in the presence of God, and the lost unto eternal damnation without further opportunity of repentance.
God Bless,
Will
