You are Invited to Worship
In extending an invitation for you to visit the church's services in Geneva, Florida, we would like to give you an idea of who we are and what to expect during the services.
SIMPLY CHRISTIANS - We are merely Christians without denominational name and practices. We believe the Bible is God's inspired Word and try to follow it as our only authority in our service to God. Since, we find no denominational names in the Bible, we wear no such names. We have no human creeds to set forth doctrine because the Bible contains all the Christian is to believe (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST - We accept Jesus Christ as Lord and respect His authority. Jesus said, "And why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord," and do not do what I say?" (Luke 6:46). Adding to, or taking from, the simple instruction of Jesus is to fail to honor Him as Lord. We have no conferences, synods, councils, nor earthly headquarters because Christ has not authorized these. Also, such manufactured systems only compete with Christ's authority and often bind human traditions upon others, which Jesus condemned (Mt 15:3-9).).
THE GOSPEL FOR ALL - We proclaim the message of the crucified and risen Lord. We invite all to accept God's gift of eternal life in His Son (Rom 6:23)
God's plan for salvation involves:
- Hear the Gospel (Rom10:17, Acts15:7, Acts 18:8)
- Believe (Acts18:8, John 8:24)
- Repentance of sin (Lk 13:3, Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30, Acts 20:21)
- Confessing Jesus as Lord and that God raised Him from the dead
(Rom 10:9-10, Acts 8:36-38)
- Baptism into Christ for the remission of sins (Matt 28-18-20, Acts 2:38, Acts 10:48, Acts 22:16, Rom 6:3-4, 1 Cor 12:13, 1 Pet 3:21)
- Followed by a life of faithful service to Christ (Tit 2:11-12, 1 Pet 1:15-16, Rev 2:10)
