401: Are we saved by Faith without Works?
The subject of faith and works is thoroughly biblical, vitally important, and one about which much error is taught. Let's look at faith and works briefly in the light of scripture. Jot down the Bible passages and read them prayerfully from your own Bible. To get a good view of faith and its influence upon those who truly possess it, please read the eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews. Verse 1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". The Apostle Paul says in Romans Chapter 10, verse 17: faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God". So then The word of God tells us of God's purpose for our lives and of ... Now if "faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen", and if this "faith comes by hearing the word of God", then we are going to accept what God says as truth, respond to what He commands as necessary for our salvation, hope for the fulfillment of His promises, and accept His word as ... ...

402: Reasons why the Apocrypha does NOT belong in the Bible!
Roman Catholic and Orthodox Faith Examined and The Apocrypha "The Jewish canon, or the Hebrew Bible, was universally received, while the Apocrypha added to the Greek version of the Septuagint were only in a general way accounted as books suitable for church reading, and thus as a middle class between canonical and strictly apocryphal (pseudonymous) writings. And justly; for those books, while they have great historical value, and fill the gap between the Old Testament and the New, all originated after the cessation of prophecy, and they cannot therefore be regarded as inspired, nor are they ever cited by Christ or the apostles" (Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, book 3, chapter 9) 21 reasons why ...

403: cr-UBF-university-bible-fellowship
We believe that the Bible is inspired by God; that it is the truth; that it is the final authority in faith and practice. We believe that since the fall of Adam, all people have been under the bondage and power of sin and are deserving of the judgment and wrath of God. We believe that Jesus Christ, who is God and man, through his atoning, sacrificial death on the cross for our sins and his resurrection, is the only way of salvation; he alone saves us from sin and judgment and purifies us from the contamination of the world caused by sin. We believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father. We believe that regeneration is by the work of the Holy Spirit, and that it is necessary if one is to enter the kingdom of God. We believe that God sent his Holy Spirit to empower his church to witness to Jesus to the ends of the earth. We believe that we are made righteous by grace alone, through faith alone. We believe that the Holy ... ...

404: Sola Scriptura: The failure of extra-biblical oral church traditions
Sola Scriptura: The failure of extra-biblical oral church traditions Tradition is only valid, when it mirrors scripture, not adds to it or changes it! Click to View Sola Scriptura home page A. Our position on scripture and tradition: "The Bible is the mother of Tradition" Our view is that the scriptures themselves are the all-sufficient and infallible "Rule of Faith" (regula fidei) for every day living, doctrine and liturgy. Tertullian and Jerome started dangerous practices in writing their "Rule of Faith", because these creeds eventually supplanted the authority of the Bible itself. 100% of the information we need for salvation is found in scripture. This means that doctrines and liturgy not taught in scripture are superfluous to the will of God, and range from optional at best to condemned. All traditions are derived from and measured against scripture. Truth: "The Bible is the mother of Tradition" False: "Tradition is the mother of the Bible."

406: Official creed of Vineyard Churches (AVC)
As evangelicals, the Bible is our final authority for faith and practice. Therefore, the statements that follow reflect our best attempt to understand and live out biblical precepts. Upon further reflection, greater biblical insight, or increased wisdom through experience, these statements could be revised. Until such a time, the Association of Vineyard Churches Board of Directors has formally adopted this document as our official statement of faith as of the Board meeting of November 1994.

407: Lesson 21: We Must Worship The Lord In His Church
Master index of 23 studies: "Determine if you worship in Spirit and Truth!" Lesson 21 We Must Worship The Lord In His Church The Lord is to be glorified by the worship He receives in His church. In Ephesians 3:21 we read, "To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus." But how many churches does the Lord have? Jesus says in Matthew 16:18, "Upon this rock I will build My church." The word "My" shows possession and that the church belongs to Jesus. How many churches did He say He was going to build? He said, "I will build My church". The word church is singular not plural. The Lord only promised to build His one church. In Ephesians 4:4-6 there are seven ones listed: "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is above all, and through all, and in you all."

408: Did you choose your church this way???
In the next fifteen years it is estimated that 25,000,000 American will choose a church. How shall they make their choice? Wouldn't it be wonderful it each one would begin with an open Bible in his hand? Let him read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, thus coming to believe deeply and earnestly that Jesus of Nazareth is truly the Christ, the son of God. And then let him read on into the book of Acts. There he will find the dynamic preaching of the good news about Christ. He will find that Peter, on Pentecost, preached a sermon about Christ at the end of which the people believed that Jesus was the divine son of God. They asked, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Then Peter said unto them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" Acts 2:37,38. In each of the major conversion stories in the book of Acts you will find the same pattern for becoming a Christian. Faith in Christ as ... ...

409: Anglo/British Israelism Herbert W. Armstrong REFUTED!
... By the end of the nineteenth century, there were said to number two million adherents of British-Israelism, most of them Church of England members. 3. In 1859, John Taylor of London expanded the theory into the field of Pyramidology. In the book The Great Pyramid, Why Was It Built and Who Built It? John Taylor tried to show how Israelites built the Pyramid of Cheops, and how British Inches and measurements could be found in its design. 4. In 1950 this outrageous doctrine was promoted by Herbert W. Armstrong who founded the World Wide Church of God and Plain Truth Magazine. 5. After Armstrong died, his successor Joseph Tkach rejected as heresy most of Armstrongs doctrines in 1998 AD. This brought about a great split in the church that produced countless little splinter churches each following a different combination of Armstrong's theology. 6. A key error in Armstrong and all his splinter groups, is failure to accept the clear Bible passages that Israel got all the land promised to ... ...

Mary Baker Eddy Through prayer, Mrs. Eddy found an answer to this need. In 1894 she appointed a new and unique pastor for The Mother Church, one that didn't depend on personality at all. Instead, it was an impersonal pastor consisting of two books-the ones to which she'd dedicated her whole life.

412: Lesson 23: Summary of Worshipping in Spirit and Truth
is over, we "must worship Him in spirit and in truth." Worship requires that we be an active participant and not a spectator. We must not pervert the worship of God by our being entertained by choirs, concerts, and other entertainment groups. Our worship is to be holy and sacred, because it is God we are suppose to be worshipping. We must approach God with humility and godly fear in showing Him reverence and respect by worshipping Him in the way He has specified in the Bible. To worship God the way we see fit is disrespectful to Him. ... Is this what God wants? A denomination must have a man made creed, confession of faith, manual, discipline, catechism, and such like in order to exist.

429: Douglas, J. D. & Bruce F. F.: New Bible Dictionary
Scripture does not give us a fully formulated doctrine of the Trinity, but it contains all the elements out of which theology has constructed the doctrine (New Bible Dictionary, J. D. Douglas & F. F. Bruce, Trinity, p 1298) The necessity to formulate the doctrine was thrust upon the Church by forces from without, and it was, in particular, its faith in the deity of Christ, and the necessity to defend it, that first compelled the Church to face the duty of formulating a full doctrine of the Trinity for its rule of faith."

God has spoken in the New Testament concerning the kind of music we must use if we expect to worship Him in spirit and in truth, and that is singing. Singing is the limit of God's command.
