Eph 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Jesus is God
Scripture is clear that Jesus created everything in the beginning, therefore, the creator in Genesis is Jesus. When Moses asked who he should say sent him, God said I AM. Jesus referred to himself as I AM, thereby stating that he is Jehovah of the old testament. Jesus is fully God and fully man.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
( Exo 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Joh 8:58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I AM!)
Humanity
Humans were created in the image of God to have fellowship with the creator and to glorify Him. We were made to be stewards of this creation. Humans have purpose, but humanity sinned and fell from grace.
At Creation – (continuous and present in every human life)
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth.

Before the fall of man:

Heb 2:7 You have made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor and set him over the works of Your hands.
After the fall:
Gen 6:5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Gen 8:21 And Jehovah smelled a sweet odor. And Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. And I will not again smite every living thing as I have done.
Rom 2:13 For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.
Rom 2:14 For when the nations, who do not have the Law, do by nature the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves;
Rom 2:15 who show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and the thoughts between one another accusing or even excusing one another,
Rom 2:16 in a day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Rom 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.
The Man/Woman in Christ
When we come to Christ, He forms in us a new creation and shows us who we are in Him.
Mat 5:13 You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its savor, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and to be trodden underfoot by men.

Php 3:20 For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which also we are looking for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Salvation
Salvation is by Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone, not of any works, and is available to all humanity.
Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Col 1:22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish, and without charge in His sight,
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Rituals
We adhere to only two rituals found in scripture
Mat 28:19 Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (one time event)
Luk 22:19 And He took bread and gave thanks, and He broke it and gave it to them, saying, This is My body which is given for you, this do in remembrance of Me.
Luk 22:20 In the same way He took the cup, after having dined, saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is being poured out for you.
Law
For us there is one law, the fulfillment of all law, which is Christ. Christ in us our hope of glory and we in Him.
Mat 7:12 Therefore all things, whatever you desire that men should do to you, do even so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Mat 22:37 Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Mat 22:39 And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Rom 8:2 But the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under Law, having been shut up to the faith about to be revealed.

Gal 3:25 But faith coming, we are no longer under a trainer.
Lifestyle
Our lifestyle must reflect our faith. If we know God, then our lives should reflect this. Always pray, always rejoice, always strive for holiness.

Church
The body of believers is the church not the buildings, neither the denominations or just the church rulers.

1Co 12:26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with it.

1Th 4:15 For we say this to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall not go before those who are asleep.

1Th 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall ever be with the Lord.
Spiritual World
There is a reality outside of our visible reality.
