Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith
This is an outline of some of the things that the operator of EvangelismTools.org, Matthew Jenne, believes in his walk with the LORD.
  1. I believe in the Triune God (God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Ghost), The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is the ONLY GOD.
  2. The only Son of God came to earth, born of a virgin, fathered by the Holy Spirit, lived His life without sin.
  3. The Son of God, Jesus, died on the cross, paying for all our sins and providing a way for us to get to Heaven.
  4. I believe that the King James Bible is the true, unchanged, and unchanging Word of God. Written by men inspired by the Holy Ghost.
  5. I believe in tithing. Tithes should be 10% of ones income.
  6. I believe in the fullness of the Word in our lives. I believe in the power of the spoken word, realizing that the Word and Jesus Christ, the Son of God, are one and the same. I acknowledge that His Word is truth. I believe and strongly encourage the following:
    1. Praying Fervently – James 5:16James 5:16
      English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
      16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
