What Do I Believe?

For some reason people are confused about what 'denomination' I am. I think really they're just unsure of what I believe. I've had 2 people in the past 2 months think that I was Mormon. I'm not. I'm not to keen on denominations. We're all the body of Christ, why must we all put ourselves in these different subgroups? I don't believe that is what Christ wanted. We should all be working together for God's glory.

I am a Bible believing Christian. The only doctrine I follow has to be Biblically sound. I do not follow man's teachings and traditions just because "that's how it's always been". Men are fallible but God is infallible. I believe that the Ten Commandments are still valid today. Without them, how will we know wrong from right? I do not believe that God has changed ANY of His Commandments. He wrote them with His own finger, in stone. That is how important they are. I also believe that the only way we can keep His Commandments is with His help. It is not in our own merit, but His. I keep the Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset), God's Holy day. The day that He sanctified in the beginning, and wrote with His finger on the first tablet of stone at Mt. Sinai. I believe that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves. If we keep the Ten Commandments, then we do this. The first 4 Commandments is how we can show our love to God, and the last 6 are how we show love to our fellow man. I believe that we should all study prophecy. It is very relevant for us today. I believe we are living in the end times. But, I also know that no one knows the day or the hour.

I hope that kind of clears things up. I'm going to leave you with this video. Please know that I share this out of love. I do not mean to upset, or hurt anyone's feelings. As I told you before, I do not follow man's teachings and traditions just because "that's how it's always been done". Truth is Truth. I pray you are blessed by this video.
