A Word From Dr. Sheila Carpenter

My belief of the Christian faith is that the Bible is the infallible word of God. The Bible is the divine word inspired by God through man to instruct, guide and obey. I believe that God is the creator of all things and without Him there would be nothing. God is who He says that He is; omnipotent and omnipresent and ruler of all creation. The true function of man is that man was created to worship God and only God. Due to the nature of sin, man stumbled and fell by falling into the hands of the devil because of lies and deceitfulness. Since the fall of man, God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, in the form of a man in which He is the second person of the God-Head. No other prophet or sacrifice could measure up to God's standard. So Christ had to come and be a sacrifice to save this dying world. Christ's purpose for the world was to bring back the fellowship and communication between God and man. There could be no other sacrifice than God Himself through His Son Jesus Christ. The work of Christ is to define the nature of Christianity through spreading the word of God, by loving your neighbor, helping others and believing that man can only be saved by accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the God-Head. The Holy Spirit is God Himself. He dwells is every believer. He guides, comforts, judges, instructs, and allows one to remember past and present information. The Holy Spirit is the giver of Spiritual gifts.

Salvation is accepting the belief that God sent His Son to be a living sacrifice to save a dying world. The only way that salvation can take place is that one must repent, which means that an individual must admit that they are a sinner and they want to change from their wicked ways. Also, one must confess that Jesus is the only one who can save a person's life. There is no other individual who fits this criterion. Believing is the key essential to salvation because it allows man to truly understand how God loved the world so much that He sent His only Son to die and to bring back the fellowship of God and man. I also believe that baptism is an outward showing of obedience to man that one has entered into the body of Christ. This is my belief of salvation. I believe that Angels were created to worship God at all times. Angels are higher beings then man. Angels are not to be worship by man. Angels are messengers of God to deliver information to man from God. They only obey and follow God. The Church is what Christ is returning for, all the believers that have accepted Him as Lord and Savior in their lives. Christ is the Groom and we the believers are the Bridegroom.

I believe the rapture is the time the Lord will return to gather all His believers before the tribulation period begins. At this time, the Holy Spirit will not be present on earth. Diseases, famine, pestilence, and lack of environmental resources will take over. The devil is now in charge for a short period of time. During this time he puts on the facade that he is loving and caring and that he respects the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and all Holy Regiments pertaining to God. He will make it that one must get his identification code in order to buy and sell. Then the true existence of the devil will appear. He will disrespect God and all His commandments. The devil's job is to steal, kill and destroy. After the tribulation period the battle of Armageddon will take place. The devil will lose and be bound to hell for eternity. Then judgment will take place for all mankind. Then a new Heaven and Earth will come to past.
