THIS IS A STATEMENT OF BELIEFS CONCERNING WHAT WE BELIEVE AND PRACTICE ACCODRING TO THE "PRETERIST VIEW" WHICH MEANS ALL THINGS WERE WERE FULFILLED AND ACCOMPLISHED
BY JESUS CHRIST BY A.D.70
We are BIBLICAL -BAPTISTIC-INPENDENT-MISSIONARY- SPIRITUAL- PRETERIST
A Defence of Preterism
In view of so much Organized confusion in the Religious world today, especially among so-called Baptists as to what the Scriptures are and what they teach, and when they where Fulfilled. We send forth these Articles of Faith declaring what we believe the Scriptures are, and when the Lord Jesus Christ "said They must be Fulfilled".Mt.5:18; Lk.24:44
Why do You say that Perterism is so Important? Because if it not True, then we dont have what we claims to have, Every Thing depends on Jesus Christ Fulfilled every thing like He said He Would that God promised His New Covenant People.All Spiritual Bessing depends on the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, Eph.1:3 In which he Generated the Power to Secure and Purchased every thing that is Spiritual for all the Elect.
1.This is a statement of beliefs concering what we Believe and Pratice according to the PERTERIST VIEW which means that all things that God's Promised in the Law and The Prophets were Fulfilled and Accomplished by Jesus Christ by A. D.70. That is Going from being natural in the flesh. Unto being Spiritual in Jesus, and being in one of the Lord's Local Assemblies of Christ, all Assemblies make up the Spiritual Kingdom of Christ.Under the Terms,Benefits, and Blessing of the New Covenant Jn.17:20-21.Eph.1:10-12; 2:13-18; 3:5-6; Heb.8:7-13; 10:9; Rev.5:10-11
2.The preterist view of interpreing the Word of God ( Jesus christ is living Word of God. Jn.1:1;Rev19:13; and is Necessary and Essential to Rightly understanding what he came to teach and do. Then Fulfilll all He Promised.
3."Jesus Christ said" to His Disciples in Jn.4:33-34; 5:30,36 My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to Finish his Work".God's Will was to have a Spiritual Family of Sons And Daughters to Dwell with.1Cor.3:16; 2Cor.616
4."Jesus Christ said Mt,5:17-18 Think not that I AM come to Destroy the law", or the Prophets": I AM not come to destroy, but to Fulfil". He was talking to This Generation of Israel in the First Century in Mt.15:24; 10;5-7
5."Then He said, For verly I say unto you, "until heaven and the earth pass", one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, "till all be Fulfilled". And that include the 2nd appearing of Jesus Christ . Mt.4-31.
6."Jesus "Said" in Mt.24:34-35 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass untill all these things be fulfilled "Heaven and Earth shall pass away"( that is Jewish Economy and the Old natural Covenant) and the New Spiritual Covenant shall be Establish, but my words shall not pass away. Heb.10:9; 2 Cor.3:6, 13; Gal..4:25-31
7.There are Several Scriptures references that show that the phase "HEAVEN and EARTH" is a "FIGURATIVE EXPERESSION" meaning the Jewish Economy.Moses used the term in Deut. 31:30; 32:1 heaven and Earth talking to Israel. Isa.1:1-4; 34:1-4; 51:6; Hag.2:6-7,21-22; Psa.102:25-26; 2Pet.3:11-13; Heb.12:26-29; And Christ used in Mt.5:18 and 24:35.We see the Old Covenant is pass away, and the New Covenant is taking its Place
The Word of God says that these things that they will come to Pass in Last day of the first Century. Gen.49:1; Isa.2:2; Mic.4:1; Act.2:17; Heb.1:2; 2Pet.3:3. The natural shall pass away, and the Spiritual Shall Come , in with Jesus Christ..
8.Jesus Christ also said in Lk.24:25-27, 44 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. That MUST be FULFILLED.The new Covenant, Lord's Local Assemblies, and The Spiritual Kingdom of Christ. Rev.5:10
Lk.24:44 And he "said unto them", These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I wa yet with you, that all things "MUST be FULFILLED", which were written in the law of "MOSES", and [in] the "PROPHETS", and [in] the "PSALMS"Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables:concerning ME. The Follower are some things Concerning Jesus Christ, that he said Must be Fulfilled..Before This Generation pass away. Mt.24:34; Heb.8:7-13
Deut.18:15-22; Isa.7:14; 9:6-8; 42:1-9; 61:1-6; Jer.31:31-34; Ezek.36:26-28; 37:14, 26-28; Dan2:44-45; 7:13-14,22; Joel 2:27-28; 3:16-17, 21; Zach.6:12-13.The Question for YOU, does the Word of God say that He Did ?
John the Apostle was present and heard Jesus Christ says in Mt.16:27-28; 24:3; Mr.13:3-4; Lk.11:9-10 and says in 24:35; and Jn.21:20-22 and then John saw it New Heaven and the New earth Fulfilled in His Life Time.Rev.21:1-6
Mt.16:27-28 For the Son of man "shall" come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Jn.20:20-22 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what [shall] this man [do]? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry "untill I come", what [is that] to thee? follow thou me.Mt.16:28
Rev.21:1"And I "Saw" a new heaven and a new earth: "for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away"; and there was no more sea. Who and When saw the New Heaven and New Earth ? The Apostle John, by A. D. 70
Rev.21:2-3 And "I John saw" the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.
:Rev.21:4-6"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
The Apostle Peter also heard what Apostle John heard and Said in the Last Day of the First Century. 2 Pet.3:3 We Accoding to His Promised look for New Heavens and a New earth.2 Pet.3:13, Isa.65:17; Mt.5:17-18 wherein dwelleth Righteousness.Psa.132:13-17; Joel 3:16-17, 21; 1 Cor.3:16; 2Cor.6:16-18; Eph.2:13-14,19-22; 3:5-6, 21
The writer of Hebrew Quote from Psalm 40:6-9 and says in Heb.10:9 Then said He, (Christ) Lo, I come to thy Will, O God. He taketh away the first, covenant that he may establish the Second.the New Covenant. Which is Essential for the Salvation of all the Elect, for Assemblies, which make up the Universal Spiritual Kingdom of Christ..Rev.5:9-10
My friends Jesus Christ is the Only Wise God 1Tim.1:17 who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.Eph 1:11 He does not Lie, Tit.1:2 and is not Auther of Confusion, 1Cor.14:33 and did not Postponed any anything, but every thing come to pass just like He said and just when He said..If he did not some thing is bad Wrong ?
