My sons

Its been a long time, however, not an inactive growth in knowledge this year. For more than twenty years I have been blind, living in the dark. Today, I am blessed with insights into the truth, insights and believe in Jesus Christ.



For more than a year I have been dealing with a colleague, just talking, just communicating the truth. Our discussions lead to me last week realizing him being attached to the Old Apostolic Church, with in turn lead me the to an investigation into the believes of the Old Apostolic Church.



To my dismay , I realize now that I have caused a terrible event when I divorsed my ex twenty years ago; I left my youngest son Eugene ( 2 years), second youngest Enrico( 7 years ) and oldest son Francois (11 years ) in the care and upbringing of the Apostolic believes.


I have wept, I have aked GOD for forgiveness, I have asked GOD for guidence as how to save my sons. One thought came up today, just be a witness!
The following is thus an email I put together and forwarded to my sons, with the trust that the Spirit of GOD will eventually lead them back to his kingdom.

Lord Father, please, please , please soften my sons hearts, them and their wife's, make them spirtiully ware of your grace, your love, your everlasting life, only vailable by believe in Jesus Christ. Thank you Jesus, by and through Your wonderfull name only. Amen.


I found a summary on http://www.faithequip.co.za giving a spot on view of what a "Christian believes" should be, .....what I believe, .....and what I pray for all of you to experience.

Eph 2:8-10 GW
(8) God saved you through faith as an act of kindness. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift from God.
(9) It's not the result of anything you've done, so no one can brag about it.
(10) God has made us what we are. He has created us in Christ Jesus to live lives filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do.


It it not awesome to know that no one on earth can do it for you, that no human being , other than you, accepting Jesus as your Saviour, can give you life, that is; give you eternal live.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe there is one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; that all three possess equally all the same attributes, nature, perfections, and characteristics of personality. God alone is to be worshipped as prescribed in Scripture.

We believe in the full deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that the man Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He possesses both a divine and human nature, distinct and unmixed. Jesus Christ was without sin, He died a penal substitution for the sin of all men, providing atonement for all men, but it is applied only to those who believe. He was buried and He rose on the third day. He ascended to the right hand of God the Father, now interceding as High Priest for all believers.

We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit; that He is the infallible author and interpreter of the Word; that He convicts, regenerates, indwells, empowers, instructs, and guides the believer in living, service, and worship through His gifts; that in this age He baptizes and permanently indwells and seals all believers into one body; that His chief purpose is to witness and glorify Christ.

We believe that the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God; that inspiration of the original autographs was plenary and verbal and, hence, the sixty-six books of the Bible are inerrant; that it is the sole authority for faith and practice in all matters to which it speaks.

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he fell through sin and lost his spiritual life; that he is dead in his trespasses and sins and, hence, is totally depraved.
We believe that salvation is wholly a work of God's free grace and not the work of man in whole or in part, nor due to man's goodness or religious ceremony; that it is a gift to man received by personal faith at which time the righteousness of Christ is imputed to the sinner, thereby justifying him in God's sight.

We hold to believers’ baptism.

We hold to a pre-millennium return of Christ at which time He will establish His millennium Kingdom on earth.
