Maranatha Web adheres to the
fundamental truths and teachings of the Bible, which is the Word of God
to Mankind. Maranatha Web is non denominational and totally independent
of other Christian organizations. Maranatha Web exists for the
Elect's sake and serves the Elect, (those who are Saved in Jesus
Christ), that they might be informed and be made ready for the soon
return of Jesus Christ as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
1. We believe in the unity of the One True and Living
God, whose hallowed name is Yahweh, who is the Eternal, Self-Existent
“I AM”, Who has also revealed Himself as One being, eternally
co-existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
2. We believe in
the deity of Yeshua, our Lord Jesus Christ, that he is the Son of God;
in His virgin birth, in His
sinless life, in His miracles, in His death on the Cross, in His
substitutionary atonement for our sins through His blood shed on
Calvary’s Cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the
right hand of the Father, and in His Second Coming in power and glory
as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
3. We believe that God created
the universe and all life on Earth, that Man is not the product of
evolution, but was created by God, according to God's Will.
We Believe that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit were involve in the act
of creation. We believe that because Man was created by God, he is
accountable to God for his actions.
4. We believe that
Jesus Christ came in the flesh; that salvation through Him is the only
way to the Father and eternal life, and that our faith must be in His
Jesus Christ and his finished work on the Cross.
5. We believe
sinners must be 'Born Again' through water and Spirit to enter the
Kingdom of God.
6. We believe
Jesus Christ is the Logos - the living Word of God.
7. We believe the
Holy Bible (i.e. the Old and New Testaments excluding the Apocrypha),
to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word
of God, the all sufficient rule for faith and practice.
8. We believe in
water baptism, by total immersion in water, in the name of the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
9. We believe in the Lord's supper, consisting of the
elements of bread and the fruit of the wine, is a memorial of Jesus
Christ's
suffering and death, that is enjoined on all believers until He returns.
10. We believe that
marriage is a holy covenant between God and one man and one woman.
11. We believe that
Homosexuality is a grave sin and that men and women who engage in such
immoral acts and do not repent, will perish forever in Hell.
12. We believe in
the Ten Commandments; and that Christians can only keep the
commandments by placing their faith in the finished work of the Cross.
13. We believe
Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of
all men and women, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through
saving faith and obedience. The true Church is the whole, undivided,
unbroken Body of Christ that includes Believers of all nations, tribes,
and races who affirm the holy orthodox faith as delivered once unto the
Apostles.
14. We believe the
Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Jesus Christ
to the world. He convicts sinners of their transgressions against God.
The Holy Spirit
imparts new life to those who believe on the name of Jesus Christ. He
indwells in all believers at the time of spiritual rebirth. He baptizes
believers with power and imparts spiritual gifts. He seals them until
the day of redemption.
15. We believe at
physical death (sleep) the believer enters immediately into eternal,
conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his
body to everlasting glory and blessing. At physical death the
unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from
the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting
judgment and condemnation.
16. We believe
there is a real devil, Satan, who was defeated by Jesus Christ at
Calvary; and we believe there is a real Hell, which will be cast into
the Lake of Fire.
17. We believe the
day of Jesus Christ's return shall not come, except there come a
falling away first (apostasy), and that man of sin (Antichrist) be
revealed, the son of perdition.
18. We believe
whosoever is not found in the book of life will be cast into the lake
of fire.
19. We believe
anyone who receives the mark of the beast, or worships the beast, or
his image, shall be cast into the lake
of fire burning with brimstone.
20. We believe
that when Jesus Christ returns, we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together in the clouds with the resurrected dead in Christ,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall ever be with the Lord.
21. We believe the
Consummation of all things includes the Glorious Appearing of Jesus
Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and translation of those alive in
Christ, the judgment of the just and the unjust, and the fulfillment of
Christ's kingdom in the new heavens and the new earth. Furthermore, we
believe that Satan and his hosts and all humans outside Christ will be
separated from the presence of God, and endure eternal punishment. The
ecclesia (All believers in Jesus Christ, Jew and Gentile) shall be
given glorified bodies, and shall live and reign with Jesus Christ
forever. The Church will be in the presence of Yahweh and His son Jesus
Christ forever, giving praise and glory and honor.
