Christianity Today, the Christian faith has been partitioned in two. While many Catholics, Protestants and Jews work together for a higher purpose, many sincere Evangelicals have shared some real concerns. They warn of what they call the "Emerging Church". Read Topic by Father John Valentino*

		Salvation The Gospel has the power to save. It is simple. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. by Pastor Greg Alexander
		Jesus Christ We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God. Thus, we reject images depicting His humanity and or divinity. We believe in His substitutionary death for all men, His resurrection, and His eventual return to judge the world. by Pastor Greg Alexander
		The Holy Spirit We believe in the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. They each represent an attribute of the divine nature, such as wisdom, understanding and charity. By these virtues, one is granted access to the Charismatic gifts, such as healing, prophecy and tongues. by Pastor Greg Alexander
		The Virgin Mary We believe in the miracle of the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ. Although no one should bow to, pray to or worship any image of her, the Bible clearly teaches the metaphor of the Virgin Mary as the mother of the Christian Church. She personifies purity. by Father John Valentino*
		The Eucharist We believe in the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, which is to be the true body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ, who is really present under the appearances of bread and wine. However, this is not an idol to be bowed to, prayed to or worshiped. by Father John Valentino*
		End Times We believe that we are living in the End Times. This includes the coming one world government, which will be led by the Antichrist and the false prophet. Persecution of true believers will come through the Mark of the Beast, known also as the 666. by Pastor Greg Alexander
		The Rapture We believe in the Rapture of the Church. Although there is a debate between pre-Trib and post-Trib eschatology, true believers all await the second coming of Jesus Christ. This epic event involves both Judgment Day and the resurrection of the dead. by Pastor Greg Alexander
		Eternity We believe that people were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from Heaven because of sinful rebellion, or in union with God in Heaven through forgiveness and salvation. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence. by Father John Valentino*

*For the fulfillment of God's work, I, Greg Alexander Badalian, will preach the Gospel as a world evangelist (Acts 17). How will I do this? Long ago, Rabbi Saul of Tarsis took on the role of Saint Paul. He conformed the Gospel to his Greco-Roman audience. Similarly, Simon became Peter and Judaism itself became Christianity. Under God's guidance, I will use nicknames, to play various roles, for people in need uniquely of the Gospel (1Cor 9:19-27).
