Author: SHILOH 7TH DAY CHURCH
Subject: STATEMENT OF FAITH WE BELIEVE


WE BELIEVE the Bible to be the inspired Word of God. We
believe that God the Father is the supreme Deity, Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God, and the Holy Spirit the
promised Comforter. WE BELIEVE in the deity of our Lord
Jesus Christ, In his virgin birth, In His sinless life, In his vicarious and atoning death, In His bodily resurrection late on the Sabbath day, In his ascension to the right hand of God in heaven, and His personal return to establish His Kingdom and rule his personal return to establish His Kingdom and rule this earth. In great power and glory.

WE BELIEVE the only means of being cleansed from sin is
through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus and obedience to our Lord's command to be
baptized(immersed) in the Name of Christ for the remission of sins. WE BELIEVE that by faith we may receive healing for
our bodies. WE BELIEVE the scriptures enjoin the observance of the Seventh Day Seventh Day Sabbath commonly called Saturday) to be observed from Sunset on Friday until sunset on Saturday. WE BELIEVE the Lord's supper an feet washing should be observed once a year at the appointed time.

WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the dead, both the just
and the unjust, the just to eternal life and the unjust to eternal death. WE BELIEVE the dead are in a state of
unconsciousness. WE BELIEVE the true church organization
taught in the bible is local autonomy and that the bible name for the church is THE CHURCH OF GOD. That test of
Christian fellowship is the commandments of God and the
faith of Jesus.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS; The Ten Commandments
reveals the character of God, it has the distinction of being the only scripture written by God. The writing of it was so important that when Moses broke the first tables God wrote the Ten Commandments again. Deut. 10 1-4 James 2:10-12
Matthew 19:16-19 Romans 3:31
Romans 7:7 Rev 22:14 Rev 22:14

THE SABBATH; The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week,
all of the days which God made it is the only one that he
blessed and sanctified. Genesis 2:2-3 Ex 16:23-30 Isa 58:13-14 Isaiah 56:2-7 Numbers 15:32-36 Matt 24:19-20 Eccles 3:14 Hebrews 4:4 ,8-10 Ex 20:11 Gen 2:3
Matt 12:8-12 Acts 13:14-44

BAPTISM; Baptism is by immersion. It is the symbol of the
death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. History reveals that it was one of the rites of the Jewish religion. At the time of John the Baptist, proselytes from the Gentiles faith were baptized to become pure for the service of the Lord.
1 Peter 3:21 Matt 3:15 Acts chapter 2 Romans 6:4

BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST; The Holy Ghost or the
holy spirit is the third manifestation of the God-head. He was the agent by which the "word" became flesh. He is life giving presence of the Church, the power of God which illuminates the christian life, knitting one to the body of Christ bringing him/her into eternal life.
Matt 3:11 Acts 1:8 Joel 2:28 Acts 2: 10:44-46 19:6

THE LORD'S SUPPER AND FEET WASHING; The apostle
Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 11 that we should keep the
ordinances as he delivered them to us. With regard to feet
washing their feet that they should do the same one to another as he had done to them. 1 Cor 11:24-26
1 Cor 11:23 1 Cor 11:26 John 13:7-8 1 Timothy 5:10

CLEAN AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS; One justification for
the eating of unclean animals by some people is the vision
which God gave to peter. The vision had no application to the eating animals, but was given to inform him that he should not call any man (not animal) common or unclean,
Acts 10:28 Gen 7:2-3 Isa 66:3 Isa 66:17
Lev 11:1-47 Deut 14:4-21

THE TONGUES QUESTION; We believe that at conversion
everyone receives the spirit but the baptism or the filling (Acts 2:4) is another experience. The initial evidence is speaking in other tongues (which is not leamed).
Acts chapter 2, 10 and 19, Acts 1):46-47 Acts 19:1-6
1 Cor 14:22
