My name is Robert Norman and following is not to be considered a compete list of my beliefs or mission.

 

Mission:

 

· Share the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the world for the purpose of salvation and the worship of God; to disciple believers and to let the Word give hope, strength, wisdom and assurance to the saints. John 1:1-4; 14, Mark 16:15, 1 Thessalonians 5:9, John 9:38, Matthew 28:19, Psalm 62:5, Psalm 28:7, Psalm 111:10, Hebrews 11:1

 

Beliefs:

 

· There is only one God and He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. James 2:19, Genesis 1:26, John 10:30, Colossians 2:9, John 1:1-4; 14, Colossians 1:15-17, Genesis 1:2, Romans 8:11

 

God the Father is the Father of Jesus; all that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ have been born again and are also God’s children. Matthew 3:17; Luke 1:35, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, John 3:3, 1 Peter 1:23, Romans 8:16, Galatians 3:26

 

God the Son, Jesus Christ, is the Word and has always existed with God the Father. His Father is God the Father. He was born to save us from sin and death by His substitutionary death on the cross. He bore our sins, past, present and future, once for all and paid our sin debt in full. Jesus lowered Himself to become a man while on earth but still retained His full Deity as He became fully man. Jesus is fully man and fully God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and was obedient to God the Father in all things. He died, was buried and was raised by God; exalted and is over all things. He is above all rule and authority and power and dominion and name. In Him all things were created and are held together. Jesus Christ is our Advocate before the Father. He intercedes for us and prays for us. In Him we have direct access to the Father. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and He holds the keys to death and hell. He will literally return to earth. Philippians 2:5-11, 1 John 5:10, John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:15-17, Romans 6:9-10, 1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:5, Psalm 22:14-18, Hebrews 2:9-10, Colossians 2:9, Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:24-25, Luke 1:35, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Philippians 2:8, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Acts 5:30, Acts 10:40, Acts 13:29-30, Acts 2:32-33, Ephesians 1:19-23, Colossians 1:15-17, John 17:9 (“pray” in King James), Romans 8:33-34, Romans 5:1-2, Ephesians 2:18, John 14:6, Revelation 1:18, Acts 1:10-11, Matthew 24:3

 

God the Holy Spirit has always existed with God the Father. He is the Great Comforter (Helper). His Spirit indwells every believer. He reveals our sin and helps us pray with groanings too deep for words. The Holy Spirit seals every believer. This seal cannot be reversed. Everyone who is sealed was foreknown by God and their name is in the Lamb’s book of life. Genesis 1:2, John 14:16, John 14:26, Romans 8:26, Ephesians 1:13, Esther 8:8, 2 Corinthians 5:5, Ephesians 4:30, Romans 8:28-30, Philippians 4:3

 

· Salvation is a gift from God by His grace through our faith. Salvation is only possible by belief on the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:13-14, Acts 4:12, Romans 5:8, 1 Peter 3:18

 

· Jesus Christ took the full punishment for our sins and nothing can separate us from God in Christ Jesus. We are in Christ’s hands forever and no created thing can snatch us away. 1 Peter 2:24, Romans 8:38-39, John 18:9

 

· The Bible is the infallible Word of God. It is without error. Proverbs 30:4-5, Romans 9:6, 2 Timothy 3:16

 

· The Church is the bride of Christ. It is comprised of all believers in Jesus Christ. Isaiah 54:5, 2 Corinthians 11:2, Revelation 19:7-8, Ephesians 5:25-27; 32

 

· Water Baptism is an act of obedience to the Word of God. It symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Baptism by the Spirit is done by the Holy Spirit. Romans 6:3-4, Mark 1:8, Mark 10:38, Acts 1:5, Matthew 3:11, Luke 3:16

 

· Believers are foreknown, as God in His infinite wisdom saw all those who would come to Him through Jesus Christ from the foundation of the word. He foreknew those who would accept Jesus Christ as Lord and their names were written in the Lambs book of life; all He foreknew He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ; all He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. Jeremiah 1:5, Revelation 21:27, Romans 11:1-2, Romans 8:28-30,

 

· Man has free will to accept Jesus Christ or to reject Him. Man is born into sin, by the fall of Adam and sins in his own life, and unless he is born again by the Spirit, by repentance and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, he will remain in sin and perish. John 3:16, Luke 8:12, Luke 24:11, John 5:47, John 12:46, John 3:7, Acts 20:21, Romans 5:14, 1 Corinthians 15:22; 45, 1 Peter 1:23, 2 Peter 3:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:10

 

· Satan was completely defeated and rendered powerless by Jesus from the cross. He is the accuser of the brethren, a liar and a thief. He seeks to kill, destroy and to mislead (through his spiritual children). Hebrews 2:14, 1 John 2:22, John 10:10, John 8:44, Matthew 24:24, Mark 13:5; 6

 

· Anyone born again, by grace through faith in Jesus, begins his or her eternal life with the Lord at that moment. When he or she dies, he or she will spend eternity with the Lord in heaven. Anyone who rejects Jesus as their Lord and Savior will perish and live eternally in separation from God in hell. Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, John 5:24, 1 Peter 1:23, 1 John 5:11, Hebrews 6:2, Matthew 25:46, Luke 12:5. Matthew 23:33 (only in Jesus can you escape the sentence of hell)

 

 

Everyone is given, by God, enough faith to believe. Read these three pages: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3.
