Hi - I'm Chris
Elected by my heavenly Father before the foundation of the world to eternal life with himself, not through any forseen free will faith but only by God's mercy.Jesus Christ the only begotten of the Father then redeemed me through his precious blood shed on the cross and the Holy Spirit made me alive in Christ, it was only then that i willfully ran to the mercy of God through his son Jesus Christ.
Therefore i am but a piece of clay whom the Father had mercy on - and the father now works in me to will and do of his good pleasure - all for the glory of himself and his dear son Jesus.
Heavenly Father has graciously given me a desire for truth - and my aim is to share this truth that the Lord Jesus has revealed to me to whoever he wills. for many are called but few are chosen.
Romans 9:18 Therefore He Hath Mercy On Whom He Will Have Mercy And Whom He Will He Hardeneth

What I Believe
The gospel is God’s promise to save his chosen people who are born into this world dead in trespasses and sins, give them complete salvation, including the work of the Holy Spirit in them, and entitle them to the whole inheritance of eternal life and final glory, all based solely upon the atoning blood and imputed righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ died for all those whom the Father chose to save and set his love upon before the foundation of the world, he rose from the dead the third day proving that God was satisfied with his perfect life and sacrifice and not one person whom Jesus died for will be lost.The Gospel excludes all the works of all sinners as forming any part of the ground or condition of this great salvation.
The Gospel excludes the sinner’s efforts at obedience as forming any part of that which saves him, keeps him, makes him fit and qualified, or entitles him to any part of salvation. In fact, the Gospel demands that sinners embrace and rest in Christ as their whole salvation and repent of such thoughts.
To put it briefly, the gospel is God's promise to save His chosen people conditioned on the atoning blood and imputed righteouesness of the Lord Jesus Christ ALONE.
Glory and Praise and Thanksgiving to "...Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." (revelation 1:5-6)
Definite Atonement
I hold the A-millennial position
The Pope is Antichrist
The bible says there are many antichrists
I believe the Roman Catholic Church is the whore of Mystery Babylon as spoken of in the Book of Revelation and all of her unfaithful harlot daughters who teach her doctrines disguised as protestants - effectively i believe the bible teaches that mystery Babylon is the Jerusalem of below - that great city where also our Lord was crucified - 'come out of her my people'
The Pre - tribulation rapture is a lie and is not found in the bible unless one persists on twisting 2 or 3 scriptures to their own shame.
2 John 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
A Brief Summary of Doctrine & Statement of Faith
The full inspiration of the Holy Scriptures; their authority and sufficiency as not only containing but as being in themselves the Word of God. The reliability of the Scripture’s witness to itself as the only, the complete and the infallible Word of God, the New Testament witnessing to the reliability and divine character of the Old Testament; the necessity also for a reverent faith in the Word, and the teaching of the Holy Spirit, for a true understanding of the whole.The unity of the Godhead and the divine co-equality of the Persons of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit eternally; the sovereignty of God in creation, providence and redemption.
The true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His real and perfect manhood; the authority of His teaching and the infallibility of all His utterances; His substitutionary death on the cross as being the full and sufficient and only atonement for sins; His bodily resurrection and His acension into Heaven; His present priestly intercession for His people; His personal return in glory.
God justifies His elect based solely upon the righteousness of Christ freely imputed to them, with no consideration of, nor contribution from, the sinner's efforts at obedience and reform.
True biblical saving Faith is a gift of God given to his elect alone whereby the regenerate person is given a knowledge and understanding of the true gospel of salvation conditioned on the work of Jesus Christ alone. He counts all of his former life and deeds, whether religious or irreligious, as dead works, evil deeds, and fruit unto death.
Faith is not a condition of or prerequisite to salvation; instead, faith believes that Jesus Christ alone met all the conditions for salvation.
The total depravity of human nature in the consequence of the Fall of man from the original state of perfection in which he was created, by which Fall all mankind is in a state of condemnation and separation from a holy God, and can only be delivered by the divine work of regeneration and redemption.
The sovereign grace of God, by which we mean His free and unmerited favour; and that by His sole choice the elect have been predestinated to salvation.
The work of regeneration, conversion, sanctification and faith as being not an act of man’s free will and power, but of the mighty, efficacious, and irresistible grace of God through the Holy Spirit.
All those who are chosen by the Father, redeemed by the Son, and sanctified by the Spirit, shall certainly and finally persevere, so that not one of them shall ever perish but shall have everlasting life.
The resurrection of the body; the judgement of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, with the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal punishment of those who finally reject Christ as Saviour.
The observance of the divine institution of baptism, in loving obedience as an act of witness, but not as conveying any regenerating grace. The observance of the Lord’s Supper as a commemoration of our Lord’s death, but not as being a sacrifice for sin nor involving any change in the substance of the bread and wine.
The sole authority and prerogative of Christ, through the Holy Spirit, speaking in His Word, for the government of the church.
1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Preservation Of The Saints
John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Beliefs and Convictions
In soteriology-Sovereign Grace Alone.I firmly hold and openly preach, and teach the glorious doctrine of grace which is:
1. The total depravity of man. Man is completely ruined in all his faculties by sin and is utterly unable and unwilling to turn to God. Man does not have a free will but is helplessly enslaved to sin and Satan.
2. The unconditional, personal, distinguishing, gracious election of God. God chose before the creation of the world those individuals whom He would save. He did not make this choice based on any foreseen merit or faith on the part of the elect but rather according to His own purpose in grace.
3. The particular redemption of Christ.; The Lord Jesus died a vicarious, efficacious death meaning He did not die for all men to make their salvation possible but rather He died only for the elect so as to secure their salvation and to render it certain.
4. The invincible grace of the Holy Spirit. Those whom the Father elected and the Son redeemed the Holy Spirit regenerates so as to infallibly bring then to repentance from sin, and faith in Jesus Christ so that they personally receive the salvation intended for them.
5. The preservation and perseverance of the saints. Those in whom the application of redemption is begun in regeneration will be kept walking in the ways of God through sanctification until they are finally brought safely to heaven and receive their glorification.
It is in this way that God saves sinners by His sovereign grace which results in God receiving all the glory for their being saved. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8,9.
In ecclesiology-Baptistic.
I believe in the autonomy of the local church. Each assembly of believers is to be independent and self-governing. There are to be no popes, bishops, synods, denominations or any other unbiblical heirarchies to answer to and to be corrupted by. God's will is for congregational rule with elders and deacons as church officers. Immersion in water of believers is the only true biblical baptism. Infant baptism is no true baptism.>br>
Jesus Christ is the only Head and Lawgiver of the church. The Bible is the only and all-sufficient rule of our faith and practice.
In eschatology-Amillennial.
I believe in the single, personal, visible, bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ in glory at the last day to raise all men from the dead for the final and general judgment.
This will be immediately followed by the creation of the new heavens and the new earth, which is the eternal state.
Christ's return is the final event of history.
I believe dispensationalism to be an erroneous hermeneutical system.
It is my desire to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified to the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
I believe the Bible in the entirety is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God preserved in English.
I believe there is only one true God. He is a Trinity. He is one God eternally existing in three co-equal Persons; Father and Son and Holy Ghost.
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, Lord, Christ and the only Savior of men. He is the God-man, true God and true man in one Person and the one Mediator between God and men. He died a substitutionary death on the cross for the sins of His people, was buried, and rose again bodily from the dead the third day.
Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ and His finished work of redemption alone. It is not by the free will or good works or religion of man.
I believe in the total depravity of all men by sin; the personal, eternal election of God unto salvation; the particular redemption of the elect by Christ's blood; the irresistible grace of the Holy Spirit in effectual calling; and the final perseverance of the saints in faith and holiness.
I hold that the Bible is our only and all-sufficient rule of faith and practice; the autonomy of the local church; only two church ordinances, baptism and the Lord's table; the priesthood of the believer; and the separation of church and state.
I Believe before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ - local congregations will become so corrupt that true believers will be driven out or forced to leave their congregations - this is spoken about in Matthew 24, Luke 21 and many parts of the revelation of Jesus Christ
I believe in the personal, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ from heaven in glory on the last day to raise the dead and to judge all men. The wicked shall then go into everlasting punishment and the righteous into life eternal.
I believe arminianism, dispensationalism, legalism, premillennialism, postmillennialism, antinomianism, divorce and remarriage, Romanism, liberalism, ecumenicalism, and pentecostalism are false doctrines, movements, and practices.
