My
Christian Yellow Pages is a ministry, and a part of Christian
Ministries And Services International (christmas-intl.org),
our parent Ministry.
Our
Statement of Faith incorporates these
Scriptural Truths
- SOLA SCRIPTURA -
the scripture alone is our final authority in
every area of life, because it is the Word of God;
- SOLA CHRISTI -
Christ alone, in his perfect life and atoning
death in the sinner's place, is the basis for our
acceptance by God;
- SOLA GRATIA -
the grace of God alone in Christ, not works of
human merit or effort, is how God saves sinners;
- SOLA FIDE -
faith alone is the means by which sinners receive
or appropriate this grace of God; and
- SOLI DEO GLORIA -
to God alone be the glory for saving sinners and
for everything else in this life and the life to come,
eternal.
The Bible comprised only of the 66
books, is the inspired, authoritative, inerrant, and the only
infallible word of God; preserved by God, and provided to
mankind to educate them in God's Word, to lead them to faith
and repentance, and as a guide all true Christians
should follow in daily living.
There is but one eternally
existent God whom humanity knows in His three Personages:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; these three identities being
descriptive of the one true God;
Jesus, God's Son, is the human
incarnation of God - Immanuel- being fully human and fully
God who was: born of a virgin by the Holy Spirit, lived a
sinless life, died a vicarious and atoning death as sinful
mankind's substitute, rose bodily from the grave, ascended to
the right hand of the Father, and will return personally in
glory for all believers;
Man was created in the image of
God, but fell through sin, and, as a consequence, is lost and
in need of regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith in
Jesus Christ as the personal Lord and Savior of the
individual;
Salvation is a gift to the
believer who has accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and
any claim to salvation apart from Christ's Lordship is false.
Man cannot do anything to merit salvation. It is given freely
by God through faith alone in the atoning work of Jesus
Christ alone.
FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES - Baptism
- The only scriptural means of baptism is by immersion as was
the example of Jesus as noted in Mark 1:9 "and was was
baptized of John (greek = eis ton - into) into the
Jordan." which can only be understood in this
construction as being completely inside of something. Thus
Jesus baptism was one in which He was placed completely
inside of the Jordan or completely immersed.
We believe in the eternal security
of the believer. Man can do nothing to merit salvation and
can do nothing to lose their salvation. God, also being the
Holy Spirit, has given Himself as a seal for our redemption.
Therefore man has no power, and can do nothing, to break the
seal of the Holy Spirit and lose the salvation sealed by the
Lord God Himself.
The ministry of the Holy Spirit is
to glorify Jesus Christ; convict mankind of their sin and
unrighteousness, to bring to those who accept God's free gift
of eternal life, to empower the life of the believer; to
indwell the Christian enabling him to live a Godly life in
obedience to the Lordship of Jesus Christ; and to work in the
individual to bring about the exercise of their spiritual
gifts in order to reach unbelievers and bring them the truth
of the Gospel to wit: that whosoever shall call upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved (receive everlasting life.)
All believers will be resurrected
unto eternal life, and all who reject God's provisions of
grace through Jesus Christ are lost and will be resurrected
to eternal judgment; and
The unity of believers is the Body
of Christ made up only of true believers who have
"confessed" Jesus as Lord, not those who have
merely made a profession of faith. "That If thou shalt confess
with your mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe with thine
heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved, for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
We believe in the body of Christ
congregating on a local basis as local churches and all
Christians who are able should attend, yet not at the expense
of sacrificing that true faith which brings salvation and
daily holiness. It is Christ who should be worshiped not the
creation, the local church, or any other substitute for
Christ including those who would worship a particular Bible,
giving it more credence than they do Christ.
We believe in the real existence
of Satan, previously one of God's most powerful Angels, who
in an attempt to become like God, became a fallen angel with
great powers, who now leads an army of powerful fallen angels
known as demons who constantly strive to take back control of
the believer, and strives to oppose and defeat God's
plan for mankind to wit: that whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved.
We believe in an ardent effort to
free local churches from the bondage of feminism, itself a
product of demonic influence, used to control and beset the
church in order to weaken the church and defeat God's purpose
for local churches; thus having rendered them of limited
ability to proclaim and practice God's commandments and lead
others to do so, having exchanged the truth for a lie for the
sake of numbers rather than quality of teaching as it affects
women whose biblical role is clearly defined..
Men and woman should walk, talk,
look, dress, and act in a way which reflects scriptures
including Titus 2:3-5; Proverbs 31, and 1 Corinthians. 11
(key verses being 14-15 and 4-5). We reject as heresy that
God only looks on the inside and doesn't care about the way
His children look on the outside His having given so many
examples of proper dress and conduct in His Holy Word.
Christian
children should be raised by faith-based parents according to
biblical ideals and morals and who support the use of
Faith-based education, whenever possible, that teaches
Children biblical ideals and morals as well as the academics
needed for productivity in life. The Christian life cannot be
about a day or two, or a worship service or two. but rather
an all encompassing faith that brings in line all other
actions and activities..
We
reject as a false and heretical concept "homosexual
Christians" there being no such person. Acceptance of
such, or teaching such, is a direct confirmation of any
person or church, having been a false professor. The Holy
Spirit prevents true believers from believing or proclaiming
this blasphemous lie. Every Christian, everywhere, should do
all in their ability from witnessing, to voting in political
elections, to purchasing voting stock in companies in order
to prevent the spread of this demonic defiance of God.

Family
Friendly Business Agreement for Christian and Family Friendly
Businesses
To advertise as a Family Friendly
Business in any of our various minsitries you must be in
complete agreement with our Family Friendly Business
Agreement
| Christian
and Non-Christian Businesses who wish to use our
services must be a Family Friendly business that
promotes traditional family values; that does not
promote, or condone individuals, organizations, or
other businesses that help promote gambling, feminism,
abortion, racism of any kind including reverse
discrimination, or homosexuality, (including same
sex partners legislation or any other form of sexual
deviancy including bi-sexuality, transgender,
bestiality etc., or anti-traditional marriage
activities.)
Disqualifying
affiliations include support for the homosexual and
abortion agenda of N.O.W. (National Organization for
Women), Planned Parenthood, Big Brothers/Big Sisters,
Girl Scouts (polytheistic & supporters of
homosexuality), and Girls Inc, as these organizations
are committed to teaching our children to accept the
gay and lesbian lifestyle and also support abortion
Socialist
Agenda.
You may not sponsor or promote socialism or the
socialist agenda being advanced to destroy Godliness in
America including organizations such as ACLU, People
for Separation of Church and State, People For The
American Way (PAW), or other Godless Socialist
organizations, or vote for those who support their
Socialist agenda.
Godless Socialism is even now on the verge of reality
under the guise of Democratic "liberalism".
The Democratic party's use of the words
"liberal" and "liberalism" are
simply catch phrases of socialists who are desperately
trying to take over America as evidenced by their
vicious angry vitriol against centrist capitalists who
socialists repeatedly refer to as right wing, right
wing ideologues, or neo-cons, all catch words used to
attack those who support a capitalist America based on
the Christian principles upon which she was founded.
Read
what one Socialist Democrat Said:
Norman
Thomas, Socialist and member of the Civil Liberties
Union, boldly told the world: “The American people
will never knowingly adopt Socialism, but under the
name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of
the Socialist program until one day America will be a
Socialist nation without ever knowing how it
happened.”
YOU
HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Further,
A family friendly business is one who promotes the
highest level of moral development and support for
children, and who supports faith-based education,
whenever possible, that teaches children traditional
family values and strong moral values. It is not
necessary for the children of Family Friendly
Businesses to have their children enrolled in faith
based education. For your children's sake though, we
highly recommend it, since statistics show consistently
that children schooled in faith based education schools
including homeschools,
tend to do better than the national average at every
level of education, social development skills, and
later in life, leadership skills due to a better
ability to engage in positive inter-personal
communications
