1 PERSONAL RECONCILIATION TO GOD

Beliefs have different levels of importance. God's utmost priority is the most imporant level of belief. That priority is salvation; reconciliation to God. The clearest message throughout the Christian Bible is that people are not capable of doing or having anything to earn salvation. God has provided reconciliation free and clear of any requirements beyond believing God provided it for us. It is only by willingness to receive reconciliation that God can work in our life as we are open to it.

2 OTHERS RECONCILIATION TO GOD

The second most important belief is to have faith that Gods' provision of reconciliation is available to everyone free and clear of any requirements beyond receiving it for themself. Once our faith grows beyond trying to earn our own salvation, then it must continue to grow beyond trying to earn others salvation. Refusing to accept personal or others reconciliation to God without any possible way of earning it eliminates our own salvation.

Unidiversal believes that diversity is not an issue with God

but that divisions, violence, destruction, and non-edifying behavior is

3 UNLIMITED GOD

The third most important priority is willingness to learn to know God more. We must be wiling to believe that God exists, and that God is bigger than absolutely anything. Limiting God to our own comprehension is the greatest failure of believers when trying to grow and reach out to others. Once our faith grows beyond our understanding we begin to have peace and confidence that everything is under Gods' ultimate and loving control. With that in mind, the more anyone relates to God better through an understanding of Gods' singularity (Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29, Galatians 3:20) and Gods' triune existence (2 Corinthians 13:14); it's only the limiting and rejection of God in all the ways God is described in the Bible that can cause serious difficulties with salvation and knowing God more.

4 SPECIFIC BELIEFS

Beyond those listed above, many specific faith-based beliefs can be detailed from the Christian Bible. Though they are not necessarily required for reconciliation to God, Unidiversal Faith believes specifying these beliefs is very helpful in living a faith-based life and knowing God more.

The Bible is the divinely inspired, only infallible, and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16, 17). This means that the Christian Bible is literal and figurative in its' original language and form. Even self-identified hypothetical stories were most likely taken from real life circumstances and Biblical statements that are obviously figurative in no way detract from its authenticy.

People were created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience we fell from acceptability to Gods’ presence (Romans 5:12).

Salvation has been provided and is available through Jesus Christ. Through His death on the cross and resurrection, we can die to our sinful nature and be born again to a new life of purity and power. Reconciliation to God is a gift of God and there is nothing any person can do to receive it except believe. (John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:8; I John 1:9; Isaiah 1:18 & 53:5,7; Titus 2:14, Hebrews. 7:25)

Reconciliation to God brings increased faith, dignity, and motivation for every believer to grow and better our lives with respect for health and well-being and encouragement to ourselves and others. Being a humble and enthusiastic witness of the faith that is in us is the most effective way of reaching out to others (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).

Water baptism is a symbol of the cleansing power of the blood of Christ, our spiritual death and resurrection in salvation, and a testimony to our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19)..

Occasional symbolic use of bread and juice commemorates the Lord’s Supper (I Corinthians 11:24, 25).

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is given to believers who ask for it, adds power to live an enhanced and faith-based life and to be effective in service to God., and the overflowing of the Holy Spirit is repeated in the same manner as in Bible days (Acts 1:5,8; John. 14:16-17; Acts 2:4, 8:17, 10:44-46; 1 Corinthians. 3:16)

As children of God, we are daily overcomers and conquerors over deception of unbelief (Ephesians 4:30-32; Hebrews 6:1).

The Holy Spirit has gifts to provide Christian; and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (I Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22).

Diversities are reconciled to God in "every" person’s life and is a diverse glorification of God.

The believers’ enthusiasm should never lead him into extremes of fanaticism (Philippians 4:5).

Unidiversal is a New Testament faith that believes the Old Testament law is "completed", not eliminated, by following Jesus teaching. (Mat 5:17)

We are to pray for divine healing for it is the power of Christ to heal the physically sick in answer to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16; Matthew 8:17 (Mk. 16:17-18, Mt. 9:5-6, Acts 4:29-30).

Faith and service to God shapes each believer’s life, not vise versa. (Rom 12:11)

The second coming of Christ will be soon, is personal, and imminent (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (Titus 2:12-13, Mt. 24:36-44, Heb. 9:28, Lk. 19:13, Lk. 12:35-37.)

It is our duty to identify ourselves with like-minded believers in the church; the Body of Christ. The Bible clearly states that it is necessary for believers to gather together in worship and service to God to grow and equip the gifts and ministries God provides us with, without discrimination or unscriptural obligations. (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).

Civic authorities should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God (Romans 13:1-5).

We believe that every personality will approach the judgment seat of God, and there receive eternal life or death (2 Corinthians 5:10).

Heaven is the ultimate home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17).

Hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as the Savior (Revelation 20:10,15).

Diversity is not an issue with God but divisions, violence, destruction, and non-edifying behavior is; so people of all lifestyles are welcome to “bless” gatherings of believers with their presence and shared praise to the Lord with an edifying spirit of praise to God and humbleness of heart. (Ephesians 3:9, Revelation 4:11, Colossians 1:16, John 1:3, Ezekiel 16:48-49)

Unidiversal believes in encouraging participation in any church that is focused on the edifying love of Christ.

Unidiversal believes that building organized Charismatic Christian fellowship for diverse believers, especially people who are supportive of those who have been rejected or let down by religious peole, is our primary call to the service of God.

God: created dimensional existence as we know it in seven 24 hour days, similar to current time, approximately 6000 years ago; flooded the earth leaving four men and four women alive approximately 440 years ago, and; is going to destroy the earth with fire and recreate it in the near future. (Gen 1 & Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel, and Revelation among many other Christian Bible references)

5 GENERAL BELIEFS are those that surface in our daily lives. If anyone believes that something is a sin to them according to the Bible, then that person should not do it and it is every believer’s responsibility to respect that person's conviction (James 4:17). The purpose of beliefs is to grow in faith and these types of beliefs are personal for the believer only and not to be required of others. Sometimes it can be difficult to understand someone else’s belief or lack of belief but it is the greater faith that God is in control that allows every believer to pursue each our own beliefs and understanding without guilt or condemnation on ourselves or others.
