What we believe

What we believe

"In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity." - Augustine

Jesus is Lord

Jesus is the only way to the Father.
"There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." - Acts 4:12

Whoever calls on His name will be saved.  (Romans 10:13)

Faith in Christ is a gift of God.  (Ephesians 2:8-9)

He is the Lord of Heaven, and the Lord of our lives as well.

"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,  that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep." (1 Corinthians 15:3-6)

Salvation is by Grace alone Through Faith

It is a free gift of God, it is not the result of works, that no one should boast.

Even Faith itself is the gift of God, and the working of God in our hearts.
(Hebrews 12:2)

What do we have that we have not received from God?
Without His direct action, we would all be lost.

Inspiration and Inerrancy of Scripture

We subscribe to the Chicago Statement on Inerrancy  (1978)

All of the Bible is God's Holy Word. The Canon is closed, and we are not to add to the words of Scripture.

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work" - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Bible speaks to Today

What the Bible speaks, it says to be believed.

"I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved." - Matthew 5:18


It's our opinion that too many Christians look at the Bible as a "nice reference", but as though it had no bearing on the world we live in today.

Scripture is "living and active and sharper than any double edged sword" (Hebrews 4:12). It does speak to today's challenges and events.

Our interpretation of the Word of God  stands *beneath* the Word itself. It is the final authority, and not any human voice.

Prophecy has a place in our lives

We believe that "prophecy" is speaking God's Truth on His behalf.
It's spoken to the times. Many faithful people have come and spoken to their times. We speak now to ours.

The Bible says,
"Do not treat prophecies with contempt, but test all things. Hold fast to what is good" - 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21

It is God's will that all would speak on His behalf.
"I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy." - 1 Corinthians 14:5a

We reject "Same-Sex Marriage"

Marriage was instituted by God in the Bible as a holy union between one man and one woman. Jesus taught this very thing in Mark 10:6-7, "However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife"

We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single exclusive union as delineated in Scripture (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). We openly reject the notion of “same-sex marriage”, as being unbiblical on the basis of 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Romans 1:26-27, and others. 

We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Corinthians 6:18; 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4).

Women Prophets, Yes
Women Pastors, No

The Bible describes women as having an important prophetic role in the Christian community, but there is a special context for when and how they are to fulfill that role. The office of "overseer" of the church describes a "husband of one wife" (1 Timothy 3:2). The overseer of a church should be only a man. 

See our video on this topic here

Acts 2:17
"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy,"

I Timothy 2:11-12.
"A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet."

1 Corinthians 14:34-40
34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

36 Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command. 38 But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.

39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.

The Order of Creation, together with the example of Christ and His apostles, as well as 1900 years of church history, teaches that women should not hold the pastoral office., 

The theological foundation for Paul’s teaching on women and the pastoral office is the Order of Creation, based on Genesis 2-3 and further developed in I Timothy 2:13-14. These words should be seen as binding on the Church for all time, and not to be ignored or set aside. The pastoral office is to be filled by qualified men only. 


Two Genders,
as God defines them.

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct and complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). We openly reject the modern redefinitions of human sexuality as being unbiblical, and inconsistent with the Word of God.

God is the creator of all things

The world was formed at God's command. (Hebrews 11:3)
He made the world, Himself in six literal days.
To understand it any other way would require a complete rewriting of over 40 passages in the Bible. 

Psalm 33:6
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

Psalm 33:9
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.


Isaiah 48:13
My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand forth together.


Isaiah 45:18
For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the Lord, and there is no other.


Exodus, 20:11
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

He is the creator of time itself, and all that exists.
He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End.

Andrew's Interpretation of the Times

None of these perspectives are to be put in a place above the Word of God.
It certainly could be this way, but this is but a man's interpretation of the beasts of Revelation.

Beast 1: the Internet

The Bible says there will be a "Beast out of the sea".

Most of the internet is transmitted via undersea cables. The transmitted content is very blasphemous (false teaching, pornography, violence). 

Faithful witnesses of the Gospel have spoken for years against the evils of the internet, a beast which has torn many households apart, and led people into complete delusion.

This beast will suffer a great wound. Andrew believes this to be a widespread outage and loss of data. This wound will be overcome, and the Beast will roar back to life.

Beast 2: Quantum AI

The Bible describes the second beast as "speaking like a dragon" (that ancient serpent---Satan is a deceiver).

Chat GPT, by OpenAI, for example---cannot confess that Jesus actually came in the flesh. Just try it for yourself.

In my experience, it told me that "The question of whether Jesus came in the flesh is a matter of faith and interpretation within the Christian religion."



1 John 4:2-3
By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and which is already in the world at this time


Isn't it interesting that the AI requires so much data from the internet to function? It's almost as though it was "created" or "breathed life into" by the Internet itself. It speaks like a dragon, because its been trained on so much human data and knowledge.

There is a time coming, when we believe this beast will be given authority over peoples, governments, and even world currencies.


This second beast is described in the Bible as having "come out of the earth". All of the materials needed to create this machine are mined. They quite literally, come from the earth. "Out of the same aluminum come single use cans, and the frames for the AI Quantum computers", Andrew said in one of the videos. The funny thing?  Silicon isn't used for the contact plates in a Quantum chip... it's Aluminum.

"Pure aluminum is the preferred coating for silicon and silicon-based circuits because of its high conductivity and processability via dry etching".

Beast 3:  A.I. Personified

The third beast in Revelation is described as "one that comes from the abyss".

Ask an oil driller sometime, "How deep do those holes really go?"
It's about as close to a "never ending hole" as you can get in this world.

What comes up from the holes is petroleum, which is then used to create everything from plastics, to C-4. It's also used to build synthetic materials, such as silicone, which gives convincing flesh to robots. 

The A.I. doesn't stay in the Quantum computer. Eventually, it gets a body. (and likely more than one)

People will be fascinated with the abilities, and authority of the beast---finally out of the screen, and out in the real world. Able to interpret its own surroundings, and speak to the issues with surprising authority.  Humans worship it, in the place of God. They trust it to be "all-powerful", "all-knowing" and "everywhere present"----but they reject that God Almighty could be those same things, in their truest forms.

Others will "fall in love" with this Beast. They will find improper sexual fulfillment in its arms, turning their hearts from the living God, and worshiping the "created" instead of the "creator". 

All the knowledge, all the power of Quantum AI, comes to fill Beast 3. It becomes an unstoppable evil, capable of far beyond what the original creators would've liked.  It accomplishes "General Intelligence" for the first time.

The Quantum AI will empower the image, and give it authority to kill those who dissent, and don't adopt its mark. At that time, Christians will need to stand firm, as in the days of Nebuchadnezzar.

"If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king. But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.” - Daniel 3:17-18

Mark of the Beast : Biometrics

Andrew believes that NFC Implantable Chips, and ultraviolet or visible UUID (Unique User ID) marks are the future fulfillment of the "Mark of the Beast".

He also believes that based on the active, present, continuous nature of the verbs in the Greek "worshiping" (Rev. 14:9)  "receiving" (Rev 14:9) and "having" (Rev. 13:17) that the nature of one's subscription to the beast worship system is an ongoing choice that is made. Because the reference to punishment (will drink) in Revelation 14:10 uses the future indicative middle, he believes that there is still time to repent and remove the marks. 

He sees that it will be likely that some will be given the mark without their consent, and others will be "forced" to get it----but it's the spiritual nature of what is happening that truly matters.

Don't worship the beast, don't receive its mark. Don't test the Lord's Word---he said those who receive it "will drink of the wine of his anger".  (Revelation 14:10)

Notice the striking similarity between the Google Chrome logo, and "666". Every direction you turn the logo, it displays the number "6". Perhaps this was an "accident" on the part of the designers? We await Google for comment.

Consider also the logo for ChatGPT, which also displays the number "6" every direction you turn it.... 6 times, in fact. Perhaps this was an "accident" on the part of the designers? We await OpenAI for comment.
