* APOSTLES' CREED:
(as recited today)
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
the holy catholic (means universal) church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

THE NICENE CREED:
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Pray and praise God call to ministry!
Greetings,
Thank you for invite to this group! It is a pleasure to share what the Lord is doing in each members ministry here...
Also a way to share my good news that I want to share with everyone and all are welcome to sign in as a member and be a blessing and receive a blessing in our group at Celebrate Jesus Ministries
God call me to tell His good news of Jesus salvation since June 1972 when I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior. God call me to internet ministry in January 2000 when He guided me to start an internet witnessing ministry through websites and He bless the ministry as I am obedient in following His directions. Now God call again to local ministry in Lockport, NY...
* As the Lord guides me through His Holy Spirit wisdom and understanding of His Basic Bible Truths I work to preach, teach and share in local fellowships everywhere He leads me and also to add messages in groups and blogs in the Web on souls seeking Him to come to Jesus by faith and confess Him as personal Lord and Savior and follow Him daily walk of faith and obedience and having a personal growth by studying His Word and practicing His directions in the Bible by following His 7 Basic Bible Truths for personal sanctification walk as Christian believers. All
Christians need learning God's 7 Basic Bible Truths - not only dos and don'ts or all the external activities of working out our salvation but how to grow as a Christian:
1 - who a Christian is in Christ,
2 - how to exercise the measure of faith received at salvation,
3 - how to listen to the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit,
4 - obeying Jesus in water baptism
5 - obedience in receiving the Holy Spirit infilling
6 - living a daily life of sanctification that God gives a measure at salvation
7 - obedience to walk in God’s love in action to help others and to be obedient to Jesus commandments to tell everyone of His good news by the 2-fold Christian Life direction - Every Christian is a minister of God's pardon key scripture is - 2 Cor. 5:18-19: To say "yes" to receive Jesus Salvation by His on Sacrifice at the Cross of Calvary is only the beginning! The Bible teaches & everyone can learn God's Basic Bible Truths clear directions on His Word - the Bible -that every Christian can practice daily to walk in God's promises.
Out of obedience to His directions every Christian should then show God's love in action to others.
God’s blessings,
Maria Evangelista

Also here I want to share with you the basic guideline for ministry call 'THE 4 G':
* ' THE 4 G' -preparation for Ministry lesson of things to beware and be aware! *
Greetings,
I would like to share with you what the Lord recalled to my mind from a class I attended years ago on Preparation for Ministry the teacher called "The 4 G" -
GLORY - never touch the anointing of God's manifestations through your ministry - do not sin by letting spirit of pride grip you for what the Lord is doing using you to minister to others, remember that after all He used a donkey at one time!
GOLD - never do anything in ministry because of financial gain or leadership gain
GUYS (for the ladies) / GALLS (for guys) - live a godly, sanctified life unto the Lord -stay away from compromising situations the devil could pervert. When that happens be quick to repent and dust off and continue in ministry wiser and more careful...
GOOFY DOCTRINE - (Also can be called 'Stinking thinking') - always check in to see that what we believe and tell others is rightly dividing the Word of Truth and not any man-made reasoning or religious tradition no matter how we agree with it and how popular the leader and the teaching is.
I know the reason that the Lord is bringing me into remembering now this teaching. Praise the Lord! You are welcome to share any wisdom from above on this lesson.
Gods blessings,
maria evangelista
