I would like to take this opportunity to write out a summary of my beliefs, which have led me to the experiences with the Saviour which I have had.
First, I believe in God the Eternal Father, and in His Son Yeshua the Messiah. I believe they are the reason for everything, and that they want for us to become like them, according to our agency, of course.
I believe that we are here to accomplish this great task, to become like our Heavenly Parents, in ridding ourselves of various vices, and building even deeper, the various virtues. This of course can only be accomplished in a realm such as this to root out these features.
I believe this is the reason we are here. And in this regard, I believe we need to turn from our vices, and turn to the virtues of God. This is why the Son of God came to earth, to show us the virtues, to give us an example in how it looks to live those virtues.
I believe this is the desire of God, the very heart of Heavenly Father. This is all He does. It is His whole reason for being. It is everything to Him. We are everything to Him!
Second, I believe that to accomplish this monumental task, the Lord has set out various programmes throughout the history of the earth, which programmes have all basically been the same, in that they were all based on the same principles.
These programmes are all basically the same. They consist of various steps, to help those in various areas of life here upon the earth. For example: Some folk who are having difficulty just getting along in this difficult world, are invited to attend a church, where they can learn about God. It is a necessary step for those who do not know about Him, to hear about Him, and then to learn about Him. A church provides an environment where a person can learn to interact with others in the various virtues of the Saviour. With so many folk in a church type environment, who are just learning, it provides a wonderful venue of challenge, and progression.
Other programmes go further than just a church member. These are the programmes of entering a life of service, walking the path of the Priest/Priestess. This is a much more in-depth path, than that which is expected of a lay member. There is deeper teaching, and attention to finer detail, etc.
These programmes continue to delve deeper and deeper into cleanliness and holiness, becoming more and more aligned with the Holy Son of God.
Thirdly, It is in our best interest, for those interested in progression, to follow this example of the Saviour, to live the way He lives. This is my faith.
Fourth, I believe that repentance means, turning from my selfish ways, worldly ways, ridding myself of those vices, and to start following the path of the Saviour. Undoing the damage that I have done from my selfishness, from all those vices, and now helping people, contributing to the Father's work, by spreading the light of the virtues of Messiah, by actually living those virtues for God and for others.
Fifth, I believe that a person can learn of these things of God, the Path of the Saviour, and can decide if that is what they want to do in their life, and then mark that occasion with a new birth, starting their life again to follow the Path of the Saviour.
This, to me, shows an incredible love of God, to accept all those who begin on this Path, and live the remainder of their life on this Path!
Sixthly, The Son of God said, that the Father will give all those who follow the Path of the Son, the Holy Ghost. This gift is a very important connection to the Father. It comes by temporal ordinance, and ratification from Heaven. As with all ordinances, there must needs be a unity of temporal and spiritual, for the gift to be in it's fullness.
Meekness and Humility are keys in the use of the Holy Ghost. Without these keys, the Holy Ghost is not conferred, regardless of the temporal ordinance performed.
Seventh, To be meek in the following of the process, and humble enough to accept an ordinance by a fellow human, is imperative to the operation of the Holy Ghost. It is the Holy Ghost that will lead a person, by reminding that person of the teachings of the Saviour, and even teaching a person the things of the Saviour that they did not already know, including what they should do in their lives to continue on the Path of Perfection, which the Saviour taught. For we must continue on this path, for the rest of our lives, in order to progress.
This may seem like a simple explanation of beliefs, and it is. There is nothing difficult about my beliefs. These are the things I believe. And these are among the things I have been taught by the Saviour Himself.
