Doctrine
East Coast Herald Doctrine
Our teaching and preaching begins and ends with Christ Jesus, our Lord, and Saviour. Whether it is from Genesis to the law, or from the Gospel of the Kingdom, to the ‘Revelation of the Mystery,’ we preach that Christ Jesus is the all in all. We understand that Christ designated Paul to be our Apostle today.
It is in Paul’s writings alone, that we find the doctrine, position, walk, and destiny of the church which is his body.
For those with ears to hear, we confidently teach mid-Acts Pauline dispensational right division of a Concordant Literal Translation of the Bible.
“…To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory…” – Colissans 1:27
What We Believe
What makes us believers? We Believe:
> The Bible is the Word of God without error, inspired and preserved by God.
> That Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, that he was fully man, and the only begotten Son of God.
> The Atonement of Christ for salvation by grace alone, through faith, in Christ.
> The literal Resurrection of Christ to offer salvation and life aionian to all who are appointed believe.
> The return of Christ bodily to reign and rule in heaven and earth.
What makes East Coast Herald Unique?
We Believe:
> Mid-Acts Pauline Dispensational Right-Division.
> Jesus Christ gave the Apostle Paul a new, distinct gospel – the revelation of ‘the mystery’ – which contains the instructions to the Ecclesia (church) for today.
> In this dispensation of God’s grace, we are not under the law.
> The Bible is a product of God’s promised obligation to perfectly preserve his words.
> The family relationship is a reflection of God and the church.
> We are all individually responsible for our choices before God. There is no priesthood today. Christ is the only mediator.
> God’s power works through sound doctrine to affect positive change in the believer.
> God’s ambassadors live within the world but should not live as worldly people.
Salvation:
We Believe:
We are saved from sin and death when we trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and His bodily resurrection. We are justified, sanctified, and will be glorified by this one righteous act.
Salvation is not a product of:
- – Prayer
- – Popes
- – Baptism
- – Confession
- – Good works
- – Turning from sin
- – Commandments
- – Church membership
- – Mass or the Lord’s Supper
Salvation is free to the ungodly who will put their faith in the death, blood, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for their sins. (Romans 4:5; Romans 4:24-25; 1 Cor 15:1-4)
