Faith. Got It?

James 1:1:
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

James 1:2:

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

James 1:3:
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

James 1:4:
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

James 1:5:
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

James 1:6:
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

James 1:7:
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

James 1:8:
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

James 1:9:
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

James 1:10:
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

James 1:11:
For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

James 1:12:
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

James 1:13:
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

James 1:14:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

James 1:15:
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

James 1:16:
Do not err, my beloved brethren.

James 1:17:
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

James 1:18:
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

James 1:19:

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

James 1:20:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

James 1:21:
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

James 1:22:
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

James 1:23:
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

James 1:24:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

James 1:25:
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

James 1:26:
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

James 1:27:
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

The Church of the Open Door is built on Two Core Understandings.

1.The Truth, Power, Love and Salvation given through Jesus Christ.

2. The Need to Fellowship with Him, and welcome others with the Gospel and the Love of God.

These are based on “The Two Great Commandments”

Matthew 22:37-40 - King James Version

“ The Two Great Commandments”

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."

38 This is the first and great commandment."

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

Apostles' Creed

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit

and born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried;

he descended to hell.

The third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended to heaven

and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.

From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic* church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.

*that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places

__________

This creed is called the Apostles' Creed not because it was produced by the

apostles themselves but because it contains a brief summary of their

teachings. It sets forth their doctrine "in sublime simplicity, in

unsurpassable brevity, in beautiful order, and with liturgical solemnity." In

its present form it is dated no later than the fourth century. More than any

other Christian creed, it may justly be called an ecumenical symbol of faith.

This translation of the Latin text was approved by the CRC Synod of 1988.
