4 Vision and Tenets of Faith THE VISION Where there is no vision, the people perish:... Proverbs 29:18 (AOCM) has a heart to reach the men, women, and children who are dying because they do not know the one and only Savior, Jesus Christ. We want to reach those who are lost, so they can be found in Christ Jesus, to be restored in the perfect Will of God. We hope to enlighten and enrich their knowledge of Christ by rightly dividing the words of Jesus Christ in truth (2 Timothy 2:15). Through the use of music, multimedia, theatrical presentation, special effects, sounds, set design, and animation, do we hope to reach them. Through these mediums, we are going to make the Bible come alive to everyone that hears. This is, where the Bible Comes Alive! Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Habakkuk 2:2

5 Vision and Tenets of Faith OUR FOUNDING SCRIPTURES Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man s conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 4:1-4

9 Vision and Tenets of Faith THE TENETS OF FAITH What We Believe We believe the King James Bible to be the only inspired, infallible Word of God (2 Peter 1:21, 2 Timothy 3:16-17). We believe the Godhead consists of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and that Jesus Christ encompasses the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9, John 1:3, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 John 5:7). We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His anointing death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (1 Timothy 3:16). We acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all things in heaven, on Earth and underneath the Earth (Philippians 2:9-10). We believe man fell by transgression from a state of righteousness and holiness in which he was first created, into a state of death in trespasses and sin; he is held as a slave of sin until he is delivered by the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:12-21). We believe in salvation through the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ by repentance toward God, faith in Jesus Christ and confession of His Lordship (Hebrews 9:22, Romans 10:9-10, 13, Ephesians 2:8). We believe in water Baptism by immersion, in the name (authority) of Jesus Christ for those who have repented and believed, burying by faith the sin nature, as well as the condemnation of past sins (Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-6, I Peter 1:21, Colossians 2:9). We believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the consequence of signs that Jesus said would be evident in the believer.

10 Rhema Word A RHEMA WORD FROM THE PASTOR God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.; 1 Peter 5:5. The Spirit of God is calling for the people of God and converts to begin to reflect over their lives in relationship with Jesus Christ and all of the Word they have been given. By this, they will know whether or not they are truly workmen, not being ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. However, the only way you can do this is to be honest and genuine with yourself; who you really are and what you have become in this life. I often say, when a person can tell you from where they came, who they are and where they are, you can tell where they are going. It takes a lot of wisdom and humility to admit faults with one s self, but in the Bible, the Word reads all of you be subject one to another and to be clothed with humility: For God resist the proud, and giveth grace to the humble 1 Peter 5:5. So before any restoration can begin in your life, you must first be humble at all times before God and man, caring for others more than yourself. You must forgive yourself for your past, because God has promised you a brand new future.
