Hello saint of God,
Praise be to our Most High God Yahweh and to the Son of God Jesus.
Glory and Honor be to Him and Him alone.
Its another blog discussing Christian issues on light of Word of God. Today I will be dealing with foundation doctrines of Christian faith. As the title suggests, if you don't believe them, then know that you are not even a Christian. Why? Simple, if you deny the presence of foundation, then you deny existence of a house also. So if you deny these doctrines, then know you that Jesus doesn't know you!
" Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Mat 7:21-23 ) So if Jesus said not all saying to Him Lord shall enter into heaven then we must be serious on what we believe. Note that prophesying and casting demons, and miracles are not even foundational but God's bonuses to believers. This Part will deal with foundation doctrines that damn someone to lake of fire.
1. EXISTENCE OF TRUE GOD
Is it ridiculous to say that? Yes some can doubt existence of God and still call hi/herself Christian. The Bible throughout mentions God and claim to be the word of God, which is true. This first part consist two parts: Belief in true God and belief in mind God
- BELIEF IN TRUE GOD
It is absurd for somebody who do not believe in God and still claim to be Christian. There are NO christian atheist. The Bible calls them fools. " The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.... "(Psalm 14:1). This is verbal denial of existence of God. Another kind of denial is confessing by mouth but deny by your very actions:
"And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king. And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. " (2Kings 1:15-16)
Here Yahweh is condemning king Ahaziah for inquiring to false gods because he saw no God in Israel. Since we know that gods are not God, then this is denial the existence of God and aknowledgement of gods. I talk about monotheism and not polytheism. Any contact with familiar spirits, astrologers, witches, holistic health and all same stuffs is total denial in existence of God of Christianity. So Any denial of God makes you non-christian, and condemns you to hell
- MIND MADE gods
The problem of having so many fake Christians and too many lukewarm christians is due to mind made gods. One can say "my god will not send people to hell" while another says "my god does not mind how I wear, just my heart" Look all have created their little gods who will like what they want them to like! So this mind made gods are your Idol, and NO idolater will see the kingdom of God:
" Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God "(1Cor 6:9-10 )
In summary: Believing in any other god(s), beside Yahweh (Jehovah) God, whether that god be self within, Mary the queen of heaven, Allah, TV, Computer, games, Shiva, Brahma.... apart from true Christian God, is condemned and will send you to hell. Bible permits worship of One God, Yahweh!
True Christian God exists in three different persons, yet ONE God. The simplest passage explaining this concept, popular by the name trinity, is 1John 5:7
" For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. " (1Jn 5:7 )
Any belief, apart from Triune God disqualifies you from Christianity and groups you to heretical gods, some already mention above.
2. The Bible is the Word of God
Any Christian that denies inerrant of scriptures, is condemned to hell. Since the bible is written Word of God himself, then denial of single jot disqualifies you from being Christian.
" For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" ( 2Pe 1:21 ). Any alleged error in the bible is accusing Holy Spirit of a lie and inaccuracy and hence dethroning Him from His deity. This is blasphemy to God and disqualifies you from being Christian.
Also the same applies to any Christian that tries to usurp the Authority of scripture. This includes "twisting them" to fit your position, or just disobey them. If scripture restricts, let say abortion, or fornication: Then encouraging these acts will be putting yourself above the word of God and hence equating with Him. That will condemn you to hell. Jesus said: " If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15) So if you hate Jesus, you will NOT keep his commandment, and that disqualifies you from being Christian
3. JESUS CHRIST
Any Man who call him/herself christian must believe that Jesus is God Almighty in flesh. Any dethroning of Jesus signifies that you are NOT a christian. Jesus wa full and ONLY perfect man, yet was God Almighty. Our Ministry website (coming soon), will discuss this in depth, but Christian must believe this for him to be christian.
" I and my Father are one. " (Joh 10:30). There is no question that, the Father is God. If Jesus and the Father are one, then Jesus is God. More proof of Jesus' Deity:
" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...And the

Thank you brother, I was one
Thank you brother,
I was one day pondering why Many Christians give priority to wrong things over right ones and found these groups:
1. The group that doesn't know that there is "Law of spirit " when you are delivered from law of death! They Just get saved from EVERYTHING, even from obeying God! That is Big black lie the devil have just introduced unto men of God
2. Christian that have wrong teaching/ Not well discipled. They are taught half grace of God. Only salvation NO sanctification. I mean they are taught to washed by the blood then do nothing best! The saving grace is also the teaching grace. We need to be obedient to the Spirit of Grace and that is the Law of Spirit of Life
3. Christians who don't know their faith. They don't bother even to know it either. They love to read news from CNN but not Christian site like this. They love to read Novels and Newspapers but Not The Bible or Christian Books. They Love watching Movies and Even secular Music but Never bother about teachings and preachings. Such Christian put "servants of God"
If they slip, they slip. This is vey sad but it is the reality. That Made me think of compiling Fundamentals of faith. First as blog, but then I will do as full page teaching. If I forgot something, Just comment down. There are Non-salvation fundamentals (If you call them so), They will come in part II

Dead On
Man, what a great post. I agree with every point you made. How may Christians are guilty of creating their own God? I used to be one of those individuals. I always believed in God, just not the God of the Bible. Praise be to God he revieled to me that it is only through his Son Jesus that we can truely know him.
