Good Information about Christianity
These facts are generally supported by all nondenominational Churches, as far as I know. By the way, I'm trying to leave out anything that seems to state the obvious.
 
* The ONLY tools needed for evangelism: You, 3 meals a day, and a door to knock on.
* Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven.
* Jesus Christ is the ONLY human who has never sinned.
* Jesus IS God.
* God only has to say something ONCE for it to be true.
* The Bible is the devinely inspired, completely PERFECT Word of God.
* The true Church was built ONLY on the foundation of Jesus Christ.
* Jesus Christ organised the Church, the religion of Christianity. Yes it's a relationship, but it is also a religion, despite how popular it is to say it's not a religion.
* The Bible may be "old fashioned", but so is air. It's timeless.
* The Bible says 318 times in the New Testament, Jesus Christ is comming back again.
* God loves everyone, including homosexuals, but hates homosexuality itself.
* Marry ONLY if you must; ONLY if you have not been married (OR your spouse is dead); and preferably only to a Christian.
* The origional church was a HUGE gathering of people. That said, small Churches are fine too.
