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.
In what appears to be the closing hours of the present order of things in the light of Scripture, there is mounting concern about the Church's role.
The denominational "Babel," or doctrinal confusion, is clearly at variance with the major scriptural references to the Church.
This "church confusion" had its beginning with the Council of Nicea in A.
D.
325 when The Church of God of apostolic times plunged into what history has called the "Dark Ages." 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." Subsequent to Justification…Sanctification is the second definite work of grace, an instantaneous work wrought in the regenerated heart by the Holy Ghost with the blood of Christ.
Whereas in regeneration actual transgressions are blotted out, in sanctification the Adamic nature, or inbred sin, is eradicated.
"Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach" (Hebrews 13:12, 13).
Read Romans 5:2; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 John 1:9.
Sanctification restores man to the holy estate of Adam before the fall, gives him the grace to live a life of holiness, and makes him eligible for the indwelling of the Holy Ghost.
Water baptism is the act of being immersed in water according to the commandment and instructions of Christ.
This ordinance has no power to wash away sin but is the answer of a good conscience toward God, representing the death, burial and resurrection of Christ through which one has obtained new life.
Only those who have already been born again are eligible for water baptism.
"The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward god,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ" (1Peter 3:21).
Water baptism has divine approval only when t it is done "in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Read Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:8-10; John 3:22, 23; Acts 10: 47, 48.
Miraculous signs and wonders will accompany the work and ministry of true believers.
These signs are recorded In Mark 16:17-20, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.;..And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.
Amen." Also read Romans 15:18, 19; Hebrews 2:4.
The use of tobacco in any form is forbidden as well as the habitual use of narcotics.
These sinful practices defile the body, the temple of the Holy Ghost, and are outward evidence of an impure heart.
"Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2 Corinthians 7:1).
Read Isaiah 55:2; 1 Corinthians 10:31, 32; Ephesians 5:3-8; James 1:21.
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.
