Good Afternoon, My Beloved Friends:

Thank you for visiting me 'in my house with Jesus' over the past few weeks. We have had, quite a time!  My prayer is that you have been saved.  If you have not come to Jesus, by faith, I urge you to take care of this matter, as it is 'first things first'. [James 1:20-25] If  you are saved, I pray that you have been  built up in our most Holy Faith in Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen.

Now, on this Post Part A2, today, August 18, 2018, let's begin to recap and conclude, 'What I Believe and Live By' in my 'walk in the faith of Jesus'.  I try hard to avoid 'wrong teachings'.  It becomes too, too, confusing. This is why, each must search the Scriptures for themselves, with the Holy Spirit, our Mutual Teacher. [John 6:45; 14:26; Acts 17:11]  He will convince you, as He does me,  of what is true, or not. [John 16:8]

Therefore in the recent 'series', you have learned what I believe and practice with respect to:

​A. The Word of God; B. God; C. God The Father; D. God The Son; E. God The Holy Spirit; F. Creation; G. Man; H. Hell; I. Heaven; J. Salvation; K. The Security of the Believer; L. Satan; M. The Church; N. Baptism; O. The Lord's Supper; P. Membership; Q. Separation; R. Missions; S. Giving;  T. The Second Coming; U. Godly Works; V. The Ministry Of Spiritual Gifts.

In Conclusion and to Recap - What I Believe, based upon - 'The Word of God'.  Part IB

Post 1B of 2 - Saturday, August 18, 2018; Post 2 of 2 - Saturday, August 25, 2018.

1. I 'personally' believe in a literal heaven, and a literal hell, and reject the idea of purgatory, nirvana or any other place that is contrary to the word of God. Jesus promised His followers a place in God’s heaven, 'Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.' [John 14:1-3]. Jesus also will say to the damned, the 'unsaved',  'Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.' [Matthew 25:41]  Jesus is God, and does not lie. [Numbers 23:19; Psalm 89:35; John 1:14, 17; 14:6; Titus 1:2; 1 John 2:21]
2. I 'personally' believe if a person rejects Jesus Christ in this life, and trusts instead in their 'religion', or their 'good efforts', or 'anything' or 'anyone' else, that person 'will not enter heaven', but 'end up in hell'. 'And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition… Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.' Mark 7:9,13 'He that believeth on him (Jesus) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already.' John 3:18.  This is - 'the unpardonable sin'. [Matthew 12:31,32; Luke 12:10]
3. I 'personally' believe when a person is saved from sin and hell, they are to be baptized in water by full immersion, not by sprinkling – because the 'symbolism' in baptism which is completely immersed in water is a testimony of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection for them. We are 'identifying with this', saying, we have died to self, buried the old, and risen a new creation'. 'Then they that gladly received his word were baptized (immersed): and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.' Acts 2:4. After getting baptized you should join a 'Bible Believing' 'Church' or 'Congregation, if possible!
4. I 'personally' believe Baptism is nothing more than our obedience to God’s word. It does not save a soul, or bring any spiritual blessing or grace upon the participant – only what Jesus did on the cross has any special and eternal effect on a believer. 'The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.' 1 John 1:7. [If you are not able to be 'baptized', but, you wholeheartedly believe and accept the free gift from God of 'salvation' because of 'the finished work of Jesus', do not panic.  You are still 'saved'. 
5. I 'personally' believe Jesus Christ is coming again very soon, and this time to be King of all kings, and Lord of all lords! 'Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.' [Matthew 25:13 'And he shall reign for ever and ever.' Revelation 11:5; 19-22]

On the next and final two posts in this 'concluding' series, on August 25, 2018, we will see what we believe about the 'Trinity' or, 'Triune God', and the worship of other 'persons' and other significant topics.  Do continue to 'visit' all the 'rooms' in 'my house in and with Jesus'.  Let me know, if I may be of any assistance to you, to help you to draw closer to the Lord.  Blessing, in the Precious Name - 'The Name Above All Names' - Jesus Christ.  Amen. Amen.
