Salvation, Baptism, and the Holy Spirit

Salvation is Gods gift by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We turn from sin and trust the finished work of the cross. Baptism is a public confession that we belong to Christ and are raised to new life. The Holy Spirit indwells believers, producing new character, guiding truth, empowering service, and uniting the church.

Daily Devotions, Prayer, and Worship

Healthy faith grows through simple rhythms. Read Scripture daily, pray with honesty and gratitude, and practice worship in song, service, and obedience.

• Set a consistent time and quiet place.
• Pray ACTS: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication.
• Live worship through generosity, forgiveness, and witness.

Understanding the Bible including the Missing Books

The Bible contains Old and New Testaments with history, poetry, prophecy, wisdom, and letters. Read in context, note genre, and seek the message that points to Christ.

Missing books often refer to apocryphal or deuterocanonical writings. Some traditions read them for devotion and history, while others do not include them for doctrine. Approach them with respect and discernment alongside the biblical canon.
