About Us
1. We teach for doctrines those
brought to this Filipino nation by the many people fleeing the
Old World to escape religious persecution. These doctrines were
then commonly known as "the doctrines of grace", being taught
almost unanimously by professing Christians and Baptists. They
were so designated because they so clearly set forth both the
necessity, and the surety, salvation, by grace alone without
human work. While it is true they fell into much dis-favor
during the "1900s", yet it is also true that God has revived
them in recent years; and we believe that through them He is
purifying His true Baptist Christian people in preparation for
the soon return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in glory.
2. "But I would not have you to be
ignorant brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that sorrow
not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in
Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the
word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain unto the
coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For
the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the
voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore, comfort one another with these words" (1Thessalonians
4:13-18).
3. The doctrines are generally set
forth in the New Testament in 30 A.D. and in the 1644 London,
England Baptist Confession of Faith and in the New Hampshire,
U.S.A. Baptist Confession of Faith.
Our Purpose
1. Our purpose is simple: Glorify God
through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Though we have not
reached the ultimate of this goal; (nor will we until the
resurrection), yet, by repentance and faith we glorify Him in
the spirit of holiness.
2. We propose to "cleave unto the Lord
with purpose of heart" (Acts 11:23), while we "press toward the
mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians
3:14). We purpose to worship our Lord daily in the "beauty of
holiness" (Psalms 96:9), and in our church services to worship
Him in song; prayer; and preaching.
What We Offer
1. We offer to hungry souls the Bread
of Life, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! As the Apostle Peter
said, "silver and gold have we none; but such as I have give I
thee" (Acts 3:16).
2. We offer no earthly treasure but
the treasure of Heaven-the faith of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ--which being tried with fire, perish not. 1 Peter 1:7. If
this you seek, we can promise do not dis-appoint you!
3. We cannot offer instant
gratification: but to all who patiently endure. Romans 2:7, we
can show the way of peace, contentment, and the joy of
salvation.
4. We cannot offer an easy way
"Because straight is the gate and narrow is the way which
leadeth unto life, and few there are who find it" (Matthew
7:13,14).
5. We can offer a "plain path" (Psalms
27:1; Proverbs 8:8-11; Isaiah 40:3-5) and help on your way. 1
Thessalonians 5:14; Galatians 6:1,2.
Our Invitation
1. As Moses said to Hobab,
(Numbers10:29), so say we: "We are journeying unto the place of
which the Lord Jesus Christ said, "I will give it to you: come
thou with us, and we will do thee good". In His loving kindness
our Lord feeds us with the manna of His word, leading us through
the wilderness of this world; giving us a taste of the Promised
Land through the milk and honey of His mercy and Grace.
2. "Therefore it shall be, if thou go
with us--that what goodness the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee." Numbers 10:32.
3. Our invitation is as simple as that
of Philip to Nathanael (John 1:45,46), and that of the Samaritan
woman to her city (John 4:27-30): COME SEE!
