Greeting
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace to you from God our Father, and from His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
We deeply respect your devotion, your reverence for holiness, and your desire to honor the faith passed down from the apostles. Yet our earnest hope is that, in all our seeking and worship, Christ Himself — not the form of worship — remains the center.
"The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth."
Our longing is not for division, but for all who love Jesus to return to the simplicity and purity of faith that rests upon His Word alone.
Worship in Spirit and Truth
True worship is not found in buildings, garments, or ceremonies, but in the heart that seeks the Father.
He desires worshipers who come to Him in spirit and in truth — not as observers, but as His children.
"The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."
Christ, Not Ceremony
Salvation is found in Christ alone, not in outward forms or sacred traditions.
No ritual, however ancient or beautiful, can cleanse the heart or give eternal life.
Only the blood of Jesus washes away sin and brings us near to God.
"The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin."
The Spirit of God does not dwell in temples or objects, but in those who believe and walk by faith.
Worship is not about what we see or touch — it is about the heart that trusts and obeys Him.
"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
True salvation is not through ceremony or symbol, but through the living Christ — crucified, risen, and present in all who believe.
One Mediator — Christ Alone
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
Mary is blessed among women, and the saints of old are honored for their faith — but none are mediators.
To pray to them, even for a good purpose, is to shift the eyes from the One who alone intercedes before the Father.
"If anybody does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father — Jesus Christ, the Righteous One."
Christ is not far off. He knows all things and lives forever to intercede for us before the Father.
Through His sacrifice, the way to the Father has been opened, so that we may now approach God with confidence and faith.
"We have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus."
"Whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you."
Unity in Christ, Not in Jurisdiction
The body of Christ is one — not divided by patriarchates or synods.
The Church is not a nationality, a language, or a culture; it is the living fellowship of all who belong to Him.
"There is one body and one Spirit… one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all."
Unity begins when each heart bows to Christ as Head.
We do not find it in hierarchy, but in humility — in loving obedience to His Word.
Grace Through Faith
The gospel is not earned by rituals, fasts, or sacraments.
It is received by grace through faith in Christ alone.
"It is by grace you have been saved, through faith… not by works."
The early believers were baptized in faith, broke bread in remembrance, and confessed sins directly to God — not through icons or intercessors, but through the living Christ.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us."
The Cross — Once for All
The sacrifice of Christ was finished on the cross.
No priestly act can repeat or extend it.
"We have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."
The Eucharist is a remembrance and proclamation of that one offering — not a re-sacrifice, but a celebration of the work already complete.
"It is finished."
The State of the Dead
The departed in Christ rest in sleep, awaiting resurrection — not conscious intermediaries between heaven and earth.
"We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him."
There is no Scripture that teaches purgatory or ongoing intercession of saints.
All who belong to Christ are perfected by His blood, not by prayers offered after death.
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord."
Walk in Truth, Remain in Love
Reformation without love is rebellion; truth without grace becomes pride.
We are called to speak the truth in love — firm in conviction, yet gentle in spirit.
"The Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patient when wronged."
Let every believer reflect Christ's humility: correcting, not condemning; guiding, not accusing.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
"Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one."
The Scriptures reveal one God, the Father — the source of all things.
And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were made and through whom we live (1 Corinthians 8 :6).
Jesus, the Son, came forth from the Father. The Father alone is without origin; the Son has His origin in the Father.
All things were made through Him and for Him, and apart from Him nothing has been made that was made (Colossians 1 :16–17; John 1 :3).
Before the world began, "the Word was with God," and "the Word was divine in nature," sharing in the glory and essence of the Father (John 1 :1–3).
He is the only begotten (monogenēs) Son — the one who came from the Father to make Him known.
"No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known."
The Bible does not explain how the Son was begotten — only that He is uniquely from God.
Angels are called "sons of God," yet only Jesus is begotten of God and shares His divine nature (Job 1 :6; Hebrews 1 :5).
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, sent from the Father through the Son to dwell in believers — revealing the truth, giving life, and glorifying Christ (John 14 :26; 15 :26; 16 :13–14).
We must hold fast to what is written and not go beyond the Scriptures.
The Bible never teaches that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are co-equal persons.
The Father is greater in position — the source and head of Christ — while the Son is one with Him in nature, will, and purpose.
"The head of Christ is God."
"The Father is greater than I."
In divine essence, the Son fully reflects the Father's nature; yet in authority and origin, He proceeds from the Father.
Thus, we believe as Scripture declares: one God — the Father; one Lord — Jesus Christ; and one Spirit — the Spirit of God dwelling in those who believe.
Invitation
Beloved, the Lord calls each of us beyond buildings and rituals — into living fellowship with Himself.
He desires truth in the inward parts, faith born of love, and worship that flows from the Spirit, not from formality.
"This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me."
Let us, then, worship the Father in Spirit and truth, holding to His Word and walking in His light — until the day when Christ returns and God will be all in all.
"Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth."
