Statement of Faith

To seek the simple truth in an age of seemingly increasing confusion about the basics of the Christian faith. And to proclaim that Jesus Christ is all we need for salvation!

The New Testament claims to be Jesus Christ's teachings, will, and purpose for the church in written form.

God has spoken to us in Jesus Christ and His word is full of meaning, power and authority.

God cannot lie, so His word is unchangeable and infallible.

God has spoken and the Holy Spirit has convicted Christians throughout church history to listen.

The full and final revelation of Scripture will not be embellished, superseded or antiquated through the entire period of church history until our Lord's bodily return.

God has spoken and we will be judged concerning our faith in and obedience to what He has said in Scripture."

What is the simple truth about salvation according to the Bible? Believe that Jesus Christ is our one and only Savior. "I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life." -John 6:47

God the Father testifies - "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. -John 3:16

God the Son - Lord Jesus testifies - "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14:6

Lord Jesus also said: "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies: and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." -John 11:25-26

Apostle Peter testifies - Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." -Acts 4:12

Apostle Paul testifies - But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved...."Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." -Romans 10: 8-13

"You will inherit eternal life if you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and mind; and, love your neighbor as yourself". -Luke 10:27

"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me..." -John 14:21

"The man who says, 'I know him,' but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him." -1John 2:4

What does Jesus save us from? He saves us from sin, death, and hell. We should repent of our sins and ask Him to forgive us. "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed." - James 5:16

What is the Trinity? It is our one God revealed in three persons. The Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are one godhead. Yet, they are eternally distinct.

What does it really mean to be a Christian? It means to have a personal relationship with Christ. Christ is in the Father and we are in Christ, and Christ is in us. -John 14:20

Jesus said: "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him." -John 14:23

Doctrine #2 and #3 of La Luz Del Mundo

God's Blessing to you and may the Holy Spirit bring the Light of Truth to our Hearts.

Here is the second and third of fourteen main doctrines that are taught by La Luz Del Mundo. When you see me post more than one doctrine it is because these doctrines are very similar in subject and therefore are covered by the same scripture references. After each doctrine(s), I have listed scripture verses that address the particular doctrine(s) in question. Please read the doctrine(s) and the verses with your Bible so that you my fully appreciate the the scripture in context, and read out loud even if you are by yourself.

(Romans 10:17) - "Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ."

For a full listing of all of the fourteen doctrines go to my posting "True Doctrines of La Luz Del Mundo" date August 13, 2009.

#2 - “The will of God is hidden. The door is closed to every body except “the man of God.”

#3 - “The world believes that the truth of God and the mystery is revealed to all man kind. The Light of the World does not believe that. We believe that the mysteries are revealed to “the man of God” and then to us.”

Romans 11:25 -I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

Romans 16:25 - Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages..

1 Corinthians 15:51 - Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

Ephesians 1:9 - And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

Ephesians 3:3 - that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.

Ephesians 3:4 - In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

Ephesians 3:6 - This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 3:9 - and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.

Ephesians 5:32 - This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.

Ephesians 6:19 - Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,

Colossians 1:26 - the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints.

Colossians 1:27 - To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Colossians 2:2 - My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,

Colossians 4:3 - And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

1 Timothy 3:16 - Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

PERSONAL COMMENTS:

What other mysteries are there to be revealed regarding the perfect blood of Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His blood for the forgiveness of our sins so that we may receive freely the blessings of Grace from God the Father? After reading these passages how can anyone say that this is a mystery.

Yes, Paul does state of the "mysteries" revealed to him, but he goes on and says, "In reading this" he has written the will of Lord Jesus Christ down for all to read and study for the good work of salvation.

So the question is why do we need anyone to tell us what the mysteries are? That is unless they are telling those who follow them that they have new "mysteries" to tell. But that would not fly because to be a disciple of Jesus Christ means that you follow to the letter his teachings, and he has taught us in his Revelation to us through John -

Revelation 22:18 - I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.

Now on the other hand, if a person or leader of a congregation is not bringing new "mysteries", but is saying that the congregation is in need of an apostle for them to understand what is written in the Holy Bible, then that apostle is simple saying to their disciples that they are either to dumb and/or to illiterate to understand for themselves what is clearly written.

The pure, perfect, and simple message of salvation through Jesus Christ does not require the filling of the Holy Spirit, other wise no one would be able to come to Christ - this the "milk" of the word for salvation. Now, if one wants to understand the "meat" of the word, then yes, you are going to need the help of the Holy Spirit to understand.

I am of the opinion, that since we are told by the Lord Jesus Christ that we have everything we need for the forgiveness of sins, as found in the Holy Bible, we have no need of "modern day apostles" since there are no more mysteries to reveal to the body of Christ with regards to salvation from our sin state.

If you have not read Hebrews this would be a good time to do so, and remember to read it out loud, even to yourself.

Is there more mysteries to be reveled to us? Yes, but that will not happen until we of the faith are carried into heaven by our Lord Jesus Christ and taken to be with God the Father. It will be at that time that all of the mysteries of the Father will be known to us. But for now, while here on earth and living in the flesh, we have all that we need from the Holy Bible for our salvation and for the spreading of the Lord's gospel.

God's blessings through our Lord Jesus Christ as powered by the Holy Spirit, Amen.

John 3:14-17
14Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. 16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

10For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

Romans 6:23
23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:11
11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Colossians 3:4
When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

PERSONAL COMMENT:

After performing a search of the New Testament scriptures regarding this doctrine's subject of "LIFE", I never once found where any of the authors and apostles particular Peter and Paul, tell their readers that they were the "LIFE" of the church or anyone of the church.

They always pointed to Lord Jesus Christ as the "LIFE". Lord Jesus Christ is the "LIFE" to our spirits while in our immortal bodies and "LIFE" to our future mortal bodies.

True Doctrines of La Luz Del Mundo

The Primary Doctoral Teaching of " La Luz del Mundo"

Is that our Lord Jesus Christ needs to have an apostle or a "man of God" here on earth in order that mankind can receive salvation, and that salvation for man stopped with the death of last apostle, John, in approximately the year 100 a.d., and that the age of salvation did not continue again until the year 1926 by the restoring of a self proclaimed "man of God" by the name of Eusebio Flores which he later changed to Aaron Joaquin Flores, father of the present day leader of "La Luz Del Mundo" Samuel Joaquin Flores for the past 40 years.

This link will take you to YouTube video titled - La Luz Del Mundo- Angel De Dios

It will show to you a video with the main theme song for La Luz Del Mundo singing of Samuel Joaquine a "angel of God" of the Book of Revelation (Rev 10:1-7).

If this is true and Samuel Joaquine is the angel as recorded in (Rev 10) then all of Jesus Christ's revelation as recorded by the last apostle, John, is a lie starting with chapter 6 and the opening of the seven seals, the sealing of 144,000 from all of the 12 tribes of Israel, the sounding of the seven trumpets and all of the great woes as recorded in chapters 8 and 9.

I am sure all of us on the face of the earth would agree that mankind has not witness any such woes ever in the past nor present.

What follows is a list of the primary doctoral teachings of La Luz Del Mundo.

#1 - “The man of God is the life of our souls”.

#2 - “The will of God is hidden. The door is closed to every body except “the man of God.”

#3 - “The world believes that the truth of God and the mystery is revealed to all man kind. The Light of the World does not believe that. We believe that the mysteries are revealed to “the man of God” and then to us.”

#4 - “The man of God”, has taught the Light of the World that we must have a man of God on earth for salvation” and Samuel Joaquin Flores is that man”.

#5 - “The high priest is the servant of God, Samuel Joaquin.”

#6 - “Samuel Joaquin intercedes for us and by his prayers we are free from sin, he intercedes for us to Jesus Christ. He will give us life in the apostle Samuel Joaquin with the authority of Jesus Christ, he (Samuel) prays for our sins.”

#7 - “The Holy Bible is powerless with out the apostle, Samuel Joaquin. It is through him that he intercedes for us to Jesus for our sins.”

#8 - “It is Samuel Joaquin who only knows the true will of God. If man wants salvation he must know and believe in the one that has been chosen for salvation, through choosing “the man of God, Samuel Joaquin.”

#9 - “Samuel Joaquin will tell us what we need for salvation. We must believe in him the chosen one.”

#10 - “Why do we talk so much of Samuel Joaquin? Because our salvation is in him only.”

#11 - “We (The Light of the World) say that there is a man of God on earth for salvation now and he is the servant of God for our salvation, Samuel Joaquin.”

#12 - “Wisdom of God is not found by faith in Christ’s Spirit to teach or by the Bible, but only by the word of Samuel Joaquin the chosen one.”

#13 - “It is not enough to believe in just Jesus Christ. We must believe in the one sent of God, the man Samuel Joaquin.”

#14 - “The world has taken upon them selves to preach the gospel of God without a man of God’s authority. They are wrong. You will not enter heaven without the authority of the man of God, the apostle Samuel Joaquin.”

In future postings I will take each one of these doctrines and compare them against the Holy Scriptures.
