Our Beliefs
What we believe about the Holy Scriptures (the Bible)
We believe that "all Scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Timothy 3:16). We understand this to mean that the whole Bible is inspired, in that holy men of God "were moved by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21) to write the very words of Scripture. We believe that this divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of Scripture as it appeared in the original manuscripts. We believe that the whole Bible in those original manuscripts is, therefore, without error. We believe that all Scripture centers around the Lord Jesus Christ in His person, work, and in His first and second coming. Therefore, no portion of the Old Testament is properly read or understood until it leads to Christ. We also believe that all Scripture was designed for our practical instruction. (Luke 24:27, 44; John 5:39; Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:11; 2 Timothy 3:16)
What we believe about the Holy Trinity of God
We believe that the one true and living God is triune. He is the Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer, and Ruler of all things. He is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, and is revealed to us as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God the Father: God, as Father, reigns over all of His universe with providential care. He is all-powerful, all-loving, all-knowing, and all-wise. He is fatherly in attitude toward all men but is Father, indeed, to those who have become children of God through Jesus Christ, who will deliver them into the Father's hands. (Genesis 1:1; 1 Chronicles 29:10; Jeremiah 10:10; Matthew 6:9; Acts 1:7; Romans 8:14-15; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 1 Corinthians 15: 24; Ephesians 4:6)
God the Son: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. He accomplished this redemption by voluntarily giving Himself as a sinless, substitutionary sacrifice on the cross, thereby satisfying God's righteous judgment against sin. After substantiating the accomplishment of that redemption and justification by His bodily resurrection from the grave, He ascended to the right hand of His Father, where He intercedes on behalf of those who trust Him. (Luke 1:34-35; John 1:1, 2, 14, 18; Romans 3:24-26; Romans 8:3)
God the Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Divine Person who convicts the world of sin (righteousness and judgment); that He alone brings new life to those who are spiritually dead; that He baptizes (or places) all believers into the one true Church, which is the Body of Christ; that He indwells them permanently and everlastingly, seals them unto the day of redemption, bestows spiritual gifts upon them, and fills (controls) those who are yielding to Him. Every believer is called to live in the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit so that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God. (John 3:3-8; 14:16-17; 16:7-11; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 13; Ephesians 4:30; 5:18)
What we believe about Creation
We believe that man was created directly by and in the image of God and in his likeness. We believe that God created the heavens and the earth, including all life, by direct act. (Genesis 1:1; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17)
What we believe about Man
Although man was created in the image of God and in his likeness, he fell into sin and is lost. The Bible plainly teaches that we as sinful human beings in it of ourselves are hopeless, helpless, powerless, and incapable of saving ourselves from our sinful condition. The Bible plainly teaches that we humans are enslaved to sin apart from Jesus Christ, and we need a divine rescue from our sin once and for all through the Savior (Jesus). We believe that all men are depraved sinners, whose hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked apart from Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This is true of all men; and except a man be born again by the Holy Spirit, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (Genesis 1:26-27; John 3:3; Romans 3:10, 23) (Isaiah 64:6) (John 8:34) (Proverbs 14:12) (James 2:10) (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Titus 3:5-7) (John 14:6) (Acts 4:12)
What we believe about the Devil - Satan
We believe that Satan is a real person, the author of sin, and the reason for the fall of man, and is destined to the judgment of an eternal punishment in the lake of fire. (Matthew 4:1-3; Acts 5:3; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:10)
What we believe about the Atonement For Sin
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe on Him are redeemed by His shed blood. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and in His ascension into heaven; He is our High Priest and Advocate. We believe the atonement of Jesus was made for all men, however it will only benefit (that is the atonement of Jesus will only be applied) to those who believe in him for salvation (John 1:1-3, 14; 3:1-7; Hebrews 10:4-14; 1 John 2:2)
What we believe about Salvation
We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. We are saved by the holy finished work of Jesus Christ. We believe in the gospel of grace. The bible teaches us to be saved you must believe that Jesus is The Son of God who shed his blood and died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and arose again on the third day. Faith in Jesus' death, burial, and bodily resurrection = salvation. The bible is clear that faith in Jesus alone saves.
We believe that salvation is a free gift of God's grace given to all men. It cannot be gained or made more secure by our good deeds and or works but is freely bestowed upon all who put their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary. All who so trust the Savior (Jesus) are forgiven of all their sins, granted everlasting life, and are born into the family of God forever by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. Those who believe in Jesus as Savior are saved and sealed by God forever and can never lose their eternal salvation (Mark 1:15) (John 1:12) (Acts 16:30-33) (Romans 10:9-10) (Ephesians 1:7) (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Ephesians 1:13-14) (Ephesians 4:30) (Acts 10:43) (Acts 13:38) (John 3:16, 36) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 10:27-30) (John 20:31) (Romans 8:1, 31-39) (1 John 5:11-13).
What we believe about the Christian Walk
We believe that we have a holy calling to walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, and so to live in the power of the indwelling Spirit in order that we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. The flesh is never eradicated in this life. Individuals must choose to keep the flesh in subjection to Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, or it will surely manifest its presence in life and dishonor our Lord. (Romans 6:11-13; 8:2, 4, 12-13; Galatians 5:16-23; Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 2:1-10; 1 Peter 1:14-16; 1 John 1:4-7; 3:5-9)
What we believe about The Great Commission
Until the return of Christ, it is the Christian's duty and privilege to seek the fulfillment of Christ's Great Commission and to minister in His name to a needy world. We are to be instruments of Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit minister's redemption and reconciliation in the world. (Matthew 25:31-46; 28:18-20)
What We believe about the person of Jesus Christ
Jesus was God, is God, and always will be God. We believe Jesus pre - existed as God before He came to this earth in human flesh. Jesus is God and always will be God. Jesus never at any time ceased to be God. We reject the blasphemous heresies that teach Jesus laid his divinity aside. The bible clearly teaches us that Jesus is God and The Lord of the whole universe

Yes, Jesus Christ is sinless, blameless, perfect, holy, and set apart from sinners. Read (John 20:28) (Hebrews. 1:8) (John 1:1-3; 14) (Colossians 1:15-19) (1 John 3:5) (1 Peter 1:19) (1 Peter 2:22) (1 Peter 3:18) (Hebrews 7:25-27).

We believe Jesus Christ is the only one who literally died on the cross for all of our sins. We believe Jesus was literally buried. And we believe Jesus physically (bodily) resurrected from his grave three days later to eternal life never to die again
Read (Acts 2:22-24) (Acts 13:26-38) (Philippians 2:6-11) (Matthew 27) (Matthew 28:1-20) (Mark 16:1-20) (Luke 24:1-8, 45-48) (John 20:1-31) (1 Corinthians 15) (Acts 1:1-11).

Read (Luke 24:45-47) (John 1:29-35) (John 3:16-18) (1 John 1:7) (Acts 10:43) (Acts 13:26-38) (John 19:30).
Here at Salvation Disease Ministries we worship Jesus Christ
Yes, We strongly believe that Jesus Christ should be worshiped as the scriptures said. He should be worshiped simply because of who He is (God) and for what He has graciously done on that cross for us guilty sinners. Read (Matthew 2:11) (Matthew 14:33) (Matthew 28:9, 17) (John 9:38) (Luke 24:45-52) (John 20:24-31) (Hebrews 1:5-6) (John 5:23) (John 14:6) (Revelation 19:10).
We believe Jesus Christ is the one and only Savior of the world
This is a biblical fact and truth that cannot be debated. That is the Holy Scriptures are clear on this issue. There are not two Saviors of the world there is only one. Two people did not die on the cross and take the punishment for your sins, only one did. The Holy bible makes it crystal clear that Jesus is his name. There is no one like the Lord Jesus. No not one. Read (John 4:42) (1 John 4:14) (Titus 2:13-14) (2 Timothy 1:9-10) (Acts 4:12).
We believe Jesus Christ is the one and only mediator between God and men
Read (1 Timothy 2:4-6).
We believe you must be born again to obtain salvation because Jesus himself said so
Read (John 3:3-7, 16-18) (John 8:24).
Here at Salvation Disease Ministries We believe very strongly that Jesus Christ died on the cross for all mankind
Yes, salvation is available to all men. That is, everyone has the opportunity to be saved by God. This is a biblical fact and truth that cannot be debated. That is the Holy Scriptures are clear on this issue. We reject the demonic blasphemous heresies that teach a believer in Jesus Christ can lose their eternal salvation (John 3:16-18) (John 5:24) (John 10:9, 27-30) (1 John 5:11-13) (Romans 8:1, 31-39). We also reject the demonic blasphemous heresies that teach Christ Jesus did not die on the cross for all men. The bible clearly says in (1 John 2:2) that He Jesus is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, but not only for our sins, but for the sins of the whole world! Read below.
1 John 2:2
2He (Jesus) is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
The bible clearly says in (1 Timothy 1:15) that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Now who are those who have sinned in this world against God? The bible clearly says we all have. Read below.
Romans 3:23
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
1 Timothy 1:15
15This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
The bible plainly tells us in (Romans 10:13) that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved. Read below.
Romans 10:13
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
It just doesn't get any plainer and clearer than that.
Again, I say, Christ Jesus died on the cross for all men. Read (1 Timothy 2:3-6) (1 John 2:1-2) (1 Corinthians 15:21-22) (2 Corinthians 5:13-15) (Hebrews 2:9) (Titus 3:4-6) (1 Timothy 4:9-10) (Romans 5:6-8, 15-18) (Romans 10:1-4) (John 1:12, 29) (1 Peter 3:18) (John 3:16-18) (John 4:42) (John 8:24) (1 John 4:14) (Colossians 1:19-20) (2 Peter 3:9)(1 Timothy 1:15)(Romans 10:9-13).
We believe Jesus Christ is the only one who can forgive you of your sins
Read (Matthew 9:6) (Acts 10:43) (Acts 13:38) (1 John 2:12) (John 5:24) (John 14:6) (Matthew 28:17-19).
We believe Jesus Christ is the only one who can take away your sins
Read (John 1:29-36).
We believe in Jesus' soon and literal imminent return for His Church (called the rapture)
Jesus will return to receive the Church, which is His body, unto himself at the Rapture and, returning with his Church in glory, will establish his kingdom in its millennial manifestation. (Acts 1:9-11) (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) (Revelation 19:11-16) (Revelation 20:4-6) (John 14:1-3) (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).
We believe in Jesus' soon and literal imminent return to this physical earth for the Second Time
This is a biblical fact and truth that cannot be debated. That is the Holy Scriptures are clear on this issue. Jesus is indeed returning to this physical earth again a Second Time. Are you ready to meet him? Some teach heresies that Jesus already physically returned in the 1900's. This is false and nothing could be further from the truth. The bible plainly teaches that Jesus will return to this earth a second time literally, visibly, and physically with his saints (that is with His Church). This time He will come to judge the earth and to rule and reign from the throne of David. He will establish His Messianic kingdom for a thousand years on the earth. Read (Matthew 24:30) (Matthew 26:64) (Acts 1:11) (Daniel 7:13-14) (1 Corinthians 1:6-8) (1 Corinthians 15:23) (1 Thessalonians 3:13) (James 5:7-8) (1 John 2:28) (1 Thessalonians 5:23) (Matthew 25:31) (Luke 1:31-33) (Acts 2:29-30) (Revelation 20:1-6).
We believe in The doctrine of eternal security for the believer in Christ because the bible plainly teaches it
This simply means that once a person sincerely believes in Jesus Christ for salvation, they are saved eternally by God. It is impossible for a believer in Christ to lose his or her salvation. We reject all false teachings that teach a believer in Jesus Christ can lose their eternal salvation. This heresy is false and unbiblical and comes straight from the devil. Anyone who teaches and or preaches this teaching is teaching and preaching a false gospel. This is not the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The gospel is not place your faith in Jesus for salvation and you might be saved, the gospel is place your faith in Jesus for salvation and YOU WILL BE SAVED. The word of God is clear that whosoever believes in the Son of God (Jesus Christ) shall not perish (shall not perish) but have everlasting life. The redeemed of the Lord (those who believe in Jesus Christ and trust in him alone for salvation) are kept by God's power and not our own. People of God, we do not keep ourselves saved by our own cleverness, strength, and power. We are saved and kept saved only by the power and grace of God. If God didn't keep us saved by his grace and mercy, then no one could ever be saved. We are kept by God's power only because we trusted in His Son Jesus and are thus secure in him (The eternal Christ) forever. I say unto you again people of the world "Once a person places their faith and trust in Jesus and in him alone for salvation they are saved instantaneously and eternally by God himself and can never lose their eternal salvation." Never! This is because God gave us a promise. God said to those who believe in His Son Jesus Christ that those people will never perish but have everlasting life. Another reason why we can never lose our salvation is because we are not saved or lost by our works, we are saved by God by us placing our faith in His precious Son Jesus. Read (Mark 1:15) (John 3:16) (John 5:24) (John 6:37-39) (John 10:27-30) (Romans 5:9-10) (Romans 8:1, 31-39) (1 Corinthians 1:8) (Ephesians 4:30) (Hebrews 7:25) (Hebrews 13:5) (1 Peter 1:5) (Jude 1:24-25).
What we believe about what happens after death
The Bible is crystal clear that there is a literal eternal place called heaven and there is a literal eternal place called Hell. Everyone is going to spend an eternity in either one of these two places after death. This is a fact of Scripture not my opinion. The choice is yours. God says those who have believed On The Son by placing their faith in Jesus the Savior, these people will be forgiven of all their sins and will be granted everlasting life in heaven with him. But to those who refuse to believe in Jesus The Holy Son of God, these people will be punished in an eternal hell for their unbelief in Jesus. God the Father declares time and time again (in the Holy Bible) that without faith in Christ Jesus his Son you will not (you will not) be saved by him. Just read (John 3:16-18, 36) (John 14:6) (Acts 4:12) (John 8:24) (Matthew 13:42,50)(Matthew 25:41) (Luke 16:19-31) (Revelation 21:8) (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9). Jesus declared and warned that those who dare reject him as the Son of God have also rejected God the Father who sent him into the world (Luke 10:16)! For Jesus said, "the world's sin is unbelief in me (John 16:9)." I want you to read that statement again very carefully. Those who do not believe that Jesus is the Christ (who is God's Only begotten Son, the one and only Savior of the world, who died on the cross for you the sinner for your sins) will perish in an eternal hell for their unbelief in Jesus (John 8:24) (John 3:16-18, 36)! The Holy Bible says this "but without faith it is impossible to please God." (Hebrews 11:6) What God the Father is revealing, what God the Father is saying to mankind is this "Without faith in Jesus Christ his Son it is impossible to please him, and it is impossible to be saved by him."
We believe wholeheartedly the words of Scripture that's found in Acts 4:12. This is our declaration here at Salvation Disease Ministries. Let's read this Scripture together here below.
Acts 4:12
12Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
Amen. Salvation is found in no one except God's Son the Lord Jesus Christ!
We believe and conclude that Calvinism, hyper-Calvinism, and Arminianism are doctrines of devils that teaches and promotes a demonic false gospel which is really no gospel at all
Calvinism, hyper-Calvinism, and Arminianism are the three worst false doctrines to ever hit the body of Christ. Calvinism, hyper-Calvinism, and Arminianism tries to pose as biblical Christianity, but it is not! The devil is a liar! God does not approve of their false gospels. Anyone who has true spiritual discernment can quickly see that these doctrines do not come from the Lord Jesus. We believe that their teachings should be exposed for what they are in so that the body of Christ can be alert to the devil's deceiving lies and devices. Calvinism's teachings and Arminianism's teachings both distort the nature of God and His character, make Jesus out to be a liar, and literally contradicts hundreds of scriptures. Both doctrines blaspheme God and His Son Jesus Christ by limiting the atoning sacrifice of Jesus to just a few people. These teachings are not sound doctrines from scripture, but rather are a distortion of the scriptures. If you go to a church that teaches Christ didn't die on the cross for all people, or If you go to a church that believes you can lose your eternal salvation, you are in a church that is preaching and promoting a false gospel! Which is really no gospel at all. Tell them the true gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Guide them here to my site. I would love to share with them the truth from God's Word. If they still choose not to stop preaching and teaching these false gospels after you have shared with them the true gospel, get up and leave. Find a church that preaches the true gospel of Jesus Christ. One that glorifies and honors our Lord Jesus by preaching His death, burial, and bodily resurrection from the dead. Go to a church that preaches and teaches Christ died on the cross for all people, and that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved. One that believes what the bible says, a church that actually believes and understands what John 3:16 means. Let's look together at this passage of Scripture here below.
John 3:16 (KJV)
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
