The Church of God in Kenosha WI invites you to come as you are and experience the love and grace of Jesus of Nazareth.The Church has a several fold reason for existing in the world today.
These important purposes are divinely originated and are found in the New Testament.
During the subsequent 1,578 years, there were glimmering rays of light as the submerged TRUTH struggled to break forth—by the providence of God—into this world's "gross darkness." Then there came a divine revelation on June 13, 1903 in what is now known as Fields of the Wood.
Though it found a welcome in hungry hearts who would give ear to it, and though thousands have accepted it, the enemy of TRUTH has waged an incessant warfare against it.
This alone is the most convincing proof of its veracity.
The faith of the gospel has been committed solely into the hands of the Church and thus the responsibility for keeping and guarding the faith rests upon the Church's shoulders.
It is The Church of God's duty to keep the faith pure and unadulterated and to defend it against all enemies.
One phase of keeping and guarding the faith is the searching out and putting into operation God's laws for the Church, the full restoration of the New Testament doctrine and governing principles.
These teachings are all based on the Scripture; they were taught and practiced by the early Church; and they have been searched out in these last days by godly men and women not concerned with their own opinions.
However, the Church does not make a "hobby horse" of any one teaching or group of teachings, but accepts the whole Bible rightly divided with the New Testament as the only rule for government and discipline.
These teachings of the Church do not constitute a creed or statement of beliefs, for The Church of God accepts the whole Bible as the inspired Word of God.
All those who become members of the Church assume the following obligation: "Will you sincerely promise in the presence of God and these witnesses that you will accept this Bible as the Word of God—believe and practice its teachings rightly divided—the New Testament as your rule of faith and practice, government and discipline, and walk in the light to the best of your knowledge and ability?" This is a "perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten." Regeneration is an act of God performed in the justified heart whereby new, spiritual life is generated.
Man is dead in trespasses and sin through Adam; he must be quickened or regenerated through Christ.
It is a vital part of the plan of salvation by faith.
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" (Titus 3:5).
Other Scriptures are Matthew 19:28; Ephesians 2:1, 4, 5.
Regeneration is simultaneous with the new birth.
The gifts of the Spirit were set in the Church to be operated by the Spirit according to the will of God.
They are manifested through individual members but individuals do not personally possess the gifts.
Therefore, since the gifts are given to the Church and not to individuals, a spiritual gift cannot be taken away by one who leaves the Church.
These gifts were all operating in the Church before it went into the dark ages, and were all restored to the Church when it arose out of darkness.
Fist Corinthians 12:28, "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing helps, governments, diversities of tongues." Read 1 Corinthians 12:1; 4-11; 14:1.
Those who die in the Lord and those who are serving Him when He returns will receive a reward of eternal life—eternal happiness in the presence of the Lord.
"And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal" (Matthew 25:46).
Read Luke 18:30; John 10:28; Romans 6:22; 1 John 5:11-13.
Our life in this present world determines our eternal reward.
The unconverted and the wicked are doomed to eternal punishment, from which there is no escape—no liberation but annihilation.
"And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal" (Matthew 25:46).
Read Mark 3:29, 2 Thessalonians 1:8, 9; Revelation 20:10-15; 21:8.
{or decoration such as finger rings, bracelets, earrings, lockets, etc…Ornaments of gold or other precious metals are a useless and frivolous waste of money, for they do not benefit the wearer either physically or spiritually.
For this reason, and because they are evidences of a prideful heart, they are unbecoming to a child of God.
Isaiah 55:2, "Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness." Read 1Timothy 2:9; 1 Peter 3:3; 1 John 2:16.|The Bible is opposed to the people of God being unequally yoked together with unbelievers; it is opposed to deeds done in secret; and it demands the complete and undivided loyalty of God's children.
John 18:20, "Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing." Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-17; Ephesians 5:12, 13.
Also many secret societies require the taking of an oath which is expressly forbidden by Scripture.
|The taking of an oath is a vain thing and condemned by the Scripture.
An affirmation to the truth of anything is sufficient.
Matthew 5:34, "But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne." Also, the use of profanity is forbidden.
Read Exodus 20:7; James 5:12.|Divorce and remarriage constitute the sin of adultery.
Matthew 5:32, "But I say unto you, That whosever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced comitteth adultery." The only allowable causes for remarriage are fornication and death.
However, fornication is not unfaithfulness or simple adultery, but is a state of being married to another's wife or husband.
1 Corinthians 7:2, "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife." Read Matthew 5:32; 19:3-9; Mark 10:12; Romans 7:2, 3; 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 13; 1 Corinthians 6:16-18; 7:10, 11; Revelation
