What We Believe

Our “Statement of Beliefs” is the content of the Scripture.^[1] We are not affiliated with any Protestant denomination. We are “Christian,” period.

• An important distinction between this ministry and other contemporary Bible-teaching ministries is our unapologetic focus upon the error and deception which characterize the Protestant Pulpit and Protestant Theology. Nor is the error a contemporary phenomenon; it originates centuries ago, with the Protestant Reformation. The countless departures of the Protestant Faith from the Christian Faith of the Scripture have caused many to stray from the Way of Life and have hindered many from entering the Way.

• We proclaim and teach the one true Gospel, which is the glad tidings that the Kingdom of God is a present reality. The Kingdom was inaugurated two millennia ago, when the King, Christ Jesus, ascended into Heaven and was seated upon the revived Throne of David. The reign of the Christ is everlasting, and extends over the entirety of Creation.

• The assertion of many Protestant Pulpits, that the present historical epoch is “post-Christian,” is absurd. Though the Kingdom already is a reality, full operation of the Kingdom must await the Resurrection Out From the Dead, for the many offices of the Kingdom presently are vacant. The offices are staffed by the Justified, most of whom are in the grave, awaiting resurrection.

• Until the day of the Resurrection, men have a unique opportunity to become citizens of the Kingdom. The Gospel has two aspects; on the one hand, the Gospel is an announcement which is of great joy to all people. But the Gospel is also a call to service, and it is a call which one dare not ignore. The Protestant, with his fanciful tales concerning deliverance from everlasting torture in Hell, obscures this vital truth. The call to service is issued to those of the line of Abraham-Isaac-Jacob; it is a call to enter the Way of Life. The Lord calls men to enter the Way of Life, that they might become qualified for a position of authority in the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom is a vast global government. Every citizen of the Kingdom is a officer of the Kingdom; the Kingdom has no civilian residents as such. The citizens of the Kingdom are resurrected as immortal Sons of God. These Sons, under the King, Christ Jesus, provide right governance for the Earth, ruling over a never-ending succession of generations of mortal men.

• The attainment of citizenship in the Kingdom of Heaven is a costly undertaking; few are willing to pay the price. The first step is justification, which is obtained freely, being granted by grace on the basis of faith. The Justified enter the Way of Life, which is a course designed to develop character. Those who persist in the Way undergo repeated cycles involving instruction, testing, and correction. As a motivation for endurance, the Lord holds forth the sequel of resurrection to Life Everlasting. Still, not everyone who enters the Way perseveres unto the end. Those who enter and turn back shall be destroyed; they did not consider themselves worthy of Life Everlasting. But they are annihilated, and not tortured. The Lord God is merciful; cruelty is contrary to his nature.

• We understand from the admonition and example of the Scripture that today, even as was the case in the Apostolic Epoch and in every subsequent generation, proclamation and subsequent embrace of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God has the potential of turning the Kosmos on its head. Our calling of the Lord God is to proclaim and teach the Gospel of his Kingdom, the same Gospel which was proclaimed and taught by Jesus and the Apostles.
