Introduction

The first thing that often strikes a newcomer to the Grace message, is that it sounds somewhat different that anything they have heard before. We believe this is because many churches simply neglect an in-depth study of the Word of God. We do not claim that the Grace message is anything new, only that it was not understood by many people for a ling period of time. Our desire is to go back to the Scriptures to search these things out. This is why we often begin our messages by saying, "don't take our word for anything we say. You are responsible before God to do to the Word of God and to see whether these things be so." If you do find that the indeed the Scripture does teach it, then believe it!

Even though the Grace message is unique in many respects, it actually agrees with  most Christians churches in the major doctrines of the faith. We believe in the inspiration of Scriptures (II Timothy 3:15, 16). Tragically, there are many denominations that have actually abandoned this very fundamental truth. We believe that God is a triune God - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ: He is true God and true man in one person. We believe in the virgin birth of Christ, that He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, that He lived  a sinless life, that He did for our sins, and that  His death is sufficient for our salvation . There is absolutely nothing we can add to it, indeed we must not add anything to what Christ accomplished through His death, burial, and resurrection. We believe in the personality of the Holy Spirit. He is not merely a force out there, but is a personal God. We could go on and on, but we touch you get the point: we do hold to the basic, fundamentals doctrines of the Word of God.

So how, then, is the Grace message unique? It is primarily in how we understand God's dealings with mankind through the ages. Most importantly, we believe that God revealed his message to us today through the Apostle of the Gentiles - Paul. This is usually when the questions begin. Here are some of the most common questions we have heard when sharing the Grace Message.
