Bible Way Jesus Only Apostolic
Bible Way Jesus Only Apostolic was founded in the 1900's during the Pentecostal revival as part of the Holy Ghost Revival
,and carries the Gospel of Christ to all nations. It is a leader in Gospel Music. It was often confused with the Pentecostal
Assemblies of the World due to the similar insignias.
Bible Way Jesus Only Apostolic was founded in the 20th Century as part of the Outpouring of the Holy Ghost Revival in
Jesus Christ for the salvation of souls... has hosted and built a network of websites to spread the Gospel more effectively,
and continues to do this and to preach the Word of God and minister wherever there is an open door. The Church is distinctive
in that it emphasizes both personal conversion by repentance and faith in Jesus for justification and also the New Birth of
regeneration by Baptism in Water according to Acts 2:38; and Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire with speaking in tongues;
in order to be Born of Water and of the Spirit. The true understanding of this dichotomy eliminates much confusion for many
who place the role of saving faith against the Birth of Water and Spirit; and vice-a-versa. They are both salvific parts of
the salvation wrought for us as the Gift of Grace bought for us at the Cross of Calvary by the Saving Atonement of Our Blessed
Lord Jesus Christ, when He shed His precious Blood for our sins, and paid the debt that we could never be able to pay.

WATER BAPTISM. Water Baptism is given by Our Lord Jesus Christ. The subjects of water baptism are believers only, who
have repented of sin, and have placed life-changing faith in Christ Jesus. Baptism is performed by the mode of Immersion in
water. It is performed for the actual remission of sins (both sins actual, and for original or birth-sin, inherited from our
first parents). It is to be performed by an Ordained Minister of the Gospel; but in the event of emergency, may be performed
by any believer. The Baptism is done in the Name of Jesus, as was documented in every case in the Acts of the Apostles where
any formulative wording is mentioned regarding the ceremony.

by faith in Jesus Christ, the New Birth of water and the Spirit, composed of Water Baptism in Jesus' Name, and the Baptism
of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.
SALVATION

our sins; His Burial; and His Literally Bodily Resurrection from the dead, nevermore to die again. We are saved by the merits
of His sinless Blood, by grace through Faith.

Beliefs
ARTICLES OF BELIEF OF JESUS ONLY APOSTOLIC MINISTRIES
What We Believe Jesus Only Apostolic Churches International and Jesus Only Apostolic Ministries International Our Creed,
Discipline, Rules of Order and Doctrine, is the Word of God as taught and revealed by the Holy Ghost. (John 14:26; II Tim.
3:16-17) (Adopted at Vandalia IL 2007)
THE BIBLE: We proclaim the Holy Bible as the Infallible Inspired Word of God. Every Word of it is true and authoritative,
and is the source of all faith, doctrine, and Christian living. (II Tim. 3:16-17)
THE LIVING GOD: There is One God and One God alone. (Deut 6:4) He is the source of everything in the Universe, and Creator
of the Universe and everything in it. He Himself is Uncreated, and is Eternal in Nature, Pure, Holy, Sinless, Omniscent, Omnipotent,
and Omnipresent. Revealed in the Old Testament as El, El Elyon, El Olam, El Shaddai, and finally as YHWH; we find that in
the New Testament He took flesh, was born of the virgin, and became man. (II Cor 5:17) (John 1:14) and named JESUS. JESUS
is the Everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6) of Old and New Testament. There is ONE LORD (Eph 4:5) JESUS is the LORD (I Cor12:3)
and the LORD is that SPIRIT (IICor 3:17) The One Saving Name of Matthew 28:19 (singular) of theFather, and of the SOn, and
of the Holy Ghost is JESUS. JESUS was and is the Eternal Father, made visible, and is the Author of our salvation. There is
no other name given under heaven among men whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

STATEMENT OF FAITH: 1. The Holy Scriptures We believe the Word of God is the only guide to happiness in this life and
for the life to come, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and instruction in righteousness. (2 Timothy
3:16,17 ). We also believe that all scripture is divinely inspired of God, that it was an inbreathing of God through those
who gave it to us. Men wrote not of their own will, but as they were moved upon by the Spirit of God. (II Peter 1:21.) 2.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, and that He came, born of a Virgin, to save us from sin by His Death
on the Cross, and His glorious Resurrection from the dead. 1. Repentance. We believe that repentance is a Godly sorrow for
sin and includes conviction of sin, hatred of sin, forsaking sin and turning to God. (II Corinthians 7:10.) 2. Salvation.
We believe that except man be born again, he cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven, that new birth is a change of heart expressed
in life, wrought by the spirit of God in regenerative power,through Water Baptism in Jesus' name, and Baptism of the Holy
Ghost, evidenced by speaking with tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance, so that we become new creatures in Christ. (John
3:5.) 3. Water Baptism. We believe that water baptism is a type of death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, and is part of
the new birth, being born of water and the Spirit Christ. By our submitting to it, we identify ourselves with His death, His
burial, and His resurrection. It is both a saving ordinance and an outward symbol of an inward grace; repentance and faith
on the part of the individual being the condition to receive baptism. Our Lord commands His disciples to teach all nations
baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. This is expressed in the Bool of Acts when
the Apostles and all others used the formula of "In the Name of Jesus".We believe the above formula (Jesus Only)
to be the one to be administered when baptizing. (Matthew 28:19). Baptism, (Greek, baptizo, to immerse) should be immediately
observed by all who have truly repented and believe in Christ as their Savior. (Mark 16:16). 4. Baptism In The Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Ghost. We believe that all believers should seek to know more about the Lord in His
fullness and power. Jesus told us that "when the Holy Ghost is come upon you, ye shall receive power to be witnesses
unto me," therefore, we need the infilling of His Spirit in our lives to have this Supernatural Birth of the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is also the comforter in the heart of the believer. He is also the one who sanctifies our lives that we might
be meet for the Master's use. By progressive and continuous process in our lives, He leads us from glory to glory until ultimately
we stand by His side in a glorified body. This still being the Holy Ghost dispensation, the believer has every reason to expect
His coming into their lives as in the early church. We definitely do believe in the supernatural, physical manifestation of
speaking with other tongues. (Acts 2:4, 10:44-46 and 19:6). We believe that the speaking with other tongues is the initial
evidence that one has received the gift of the Holy Ghost. This is the Birth of the Spirit. 5. Gifts Of The Spirit. We believe
the Holy Spirit gives His gifts unto each as He will. We believe that the Gifts of the Spirit that were seen in the early
Church and are still in and for the Church today and that they should be sought by all believers. This still being the New
Testament Age and Last Days as spoken by Apostle Peter, which is Dispensation of the Holy Ghost, until Jesus returns from
heaven. (I Corinthians 12:8-10 and 14:1.) 6. Divine Healing. Divine healing has been believed by the saints of God both in
the Old and New Testaments. It was the hallmark of the early apostolic church and from the Scriptures we believe that it is
given to the church today and until Jesus comes again. The church's ministry is one of supernatural deliverance and this is
definitely a part of that apostolic ministry. Divine healing is wrought by the Holy Ghost in Jesus Name when we come believing
and according to the Scriptures. (Mark 16:18, Matt 10, James 5:14-16) 7.The Lord's Supper. We believe that all apostolic believers
in JESUS Christ should partake of this Holy Communion until He comes again. We do not hold closed communion, but it is open
to all believers in Christ, who are baptized in Jesus Name, and filled with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost . 8. Second Coming
Of Christ. We believe Jesus Christ is coming again to receive unto Himself His purchased own. It is mentioned hundreds of
times times in the Scriptures. We believe that His coming will be a literal, bodily, visible return. We should seek to live
and work in view of His soon coming. (Matthew 24, John 14:3, Acts 1:11 and I Thessalonians 4:14-19). 9.Heaven. We believe
in heaven, a literal place that Jesus has gone to prepare for us. It is the dwelling place of God. John 14:2. 10.Hell. We
believe that all who refuse God's plan of salvation will be eternally lost and will go to hell where the worm dieth not and
the fire is not quenched. This place will ultimately be cast into the lake of fire with the devil and his angels. 11. Judgment.
We believe that everyone must meet God in Judgement some time. We believe that there are different judgments. (1) At Calvary
when one accepts the plan of salvation for himself, and receives the Birth of Water and the Spirit, he has had his sins judged
in Christ's atoning work. (2)Self-judgment should be carried out by each believer. We should judge our acts and works in light
of God's Word. (3) Judgment Seat of Christ. We believe that all believers will appear in heavenlies before the Judgment Seat
of Christ to give an account of the deeds done in the body and to receive their rewards for faithful service. (4) Judgment
of the Nations. We believed that God will judge the nations at Armageddon for their treatment of the brethren, the Believers.The
nations who have been faithful to them will be retained as sheep nations and the nations that have done despite to them will
be cast out as goat nations. (5) Judgment of Wicked Dead. We believe that all the wicked dead will stand before God to be
judged also for the extent of their wickedness, before receiving their position in the eternal lake of fire. 12. Resurrection.
We believe in the resurrection of the dead and that there will be a resurrection both of the just and the unjust, that they
will be raised separately; the just first unto a resurrection of the life and the unjust ( one thousand years later, after
the Millenial Reign of Jesus) to a resurrection of damnation. The resurrections will not be together, but will be separated
by a period of one thousand years. We believe that the resurrected saints who are blessed and have apart in the first resurrection
will be raised with glorified bodies, like unto that which our blessed Lord was raised. 13. Adultery And Homosexuality. Due
to the apparent lowering of standards and the permissiveness of society in general, we re-affirm our commitment to the scriptures
opposition to extra marital sex and homosexuality. We denounce the trend in America and Europe of so-called gay marriage,
and will never allow it, and we shall always preach against it. 14. We stand with the Bible, against abortion in all its'
forms, including the so-called morning after pills. We will campaign tirelessly to end this modern genocide which stains our
nation and all the western world with its' unspeakable horror. We shall defend the lives and human dignity of these helpless
little souls who cannot defend themselves. Christian Conduct 15.The Christian should always exemplify Jesus Christ, who dwells
in them. Having accepted Christ as Lord and Savior, we should allow our lives to be an example to others in our action and
reactions, our walk, our talk, our dress, and outward character (2 Timothy 2:19). We need to recognize that our body is the
Temple of the Holy Ghost, therefore glorifying God (1 Cor. 6:19,20). Tobacco, Alcoholic Beverages, and Drugs 16.Since tobacco,
alcoholic beverages, and hallucinogenic drugs are poisonous and habit forming and components of the old sinful nature, no
Christian can advance spiritually and continue their use because using either in any manner is a lustful habit of the flesh.
Therefore we refrain from the use of tobacco, alcoholic beverages, and hallucinogenic drugs in any form. (Gal. 5:24; 1 Peter
2:11; 2 Cor. 7:1)
