1. God exists from eternity (Gen. 1: 1, Ps.90: 2-4, Is.40: 28). From the eternal ages there has been God. This profound truth can not be fathomed in its fullness by the human mind.
2. It exists by itself, (Jn.5: 26, Ex.3: 14, Acts 17: 24-25). This means that your life does not depend on anything else or be any.
3. He is the creator of the universe. Gn.1: 1-31, Psa.33: 6y9, Jn.1: 1-3
4. It is the wellspring of all life Jn.5: 26, Acts 17:28, Ps. 104: 27.

b) For creation Ro.1: 19-20, Ps.19: 1-6.
c) From the Scriptures Ps.19: 7-10.
(Some questions about passage that apparently contradict the statements that God is Spirit and invisible.)
a) Moses saw his glory, but only part Ex.33: 18-23.
b) He has manifested himself as "The Angel of God" (Gn.18: 1-10 and 19). In chapter 18 three men appear, who later go to Sodom (verse 22) but one stayed with Abraham, which was Jehovah. And only two come to Sodom Gn. 19: 1).
c) God manifested in his only begotten Son in the form of a man. (John 1:18, Mt.1: 23). This has been the most glorious manifestation of all ENMANUEL "God with us"
1. God as the designer, Creator and Sustainer of the universe and man manifests all personality attributes, (Gen.1: 1, He.1: 3, Col. 15-17, Ps. 104: 27-30, Mt.6: 26, 28.30.).
2. The living God in contrast to the idols, hears, sees and feels and wants, works and is a person. idols are things (Jer.10: 10-6, Acts.14: 11, 1Th.1: 9, 1S.2: 1-5).
3. Personality attributes are manifest in his love and correction, (He.12: 6-11), sadness (Gn.6: 6), anger (1R.11: 9), jealousy (Dt.6: 15) and abhorrence (Pr.6: 16).
a) The nature of his holiness:
1) Absolutely exempt and separated from everything impure.
2) the culmination of holiness, perfection and purity. (Sal.99: 9, Lv.11: 43-45, 1Jn.1: 5).
b) His Holiness manifested in:
1) Abhorrence of all evil. Hab.1: 13, Pr.15: 9 and 26, Is.59: 1-2).
2) In wanting to see holiness in their children (1P.1: 15-16, Deut.23: 14, He.12: 10).
a) His justice consists in that:
1) Always do what is good, straight and just.
2) Love justice and righteousness.
3) He hates evil, (Ps.45L7).
b) His justice manifested in:
1) Keep your word. (Neh.9: 7-8).
2) Forgive the sin of the penitent. (Neh.9: 7-8, Ro.3: 25-26).
3) Punish the sinner. (Psa.11: 4-5, 2Ti.4: 8).

2) To the saints. (Ps.32: 10, Ps.103: 11-12-17-18, Fil.2: 27, Ps.21: 7).
a) Love means the desire that the one who loves feels for the well-being of a loved one and the delight that this causes. An adequate explanation of this essential attribute of God is impossible. God is love, then the love that is God is as incompressible as the Supreme Being is. Jehovah our God, the only True God is love (1Jn.3: 16, 4: 8-16, Jn.3: 16).
b) The objects of God's love are:
1) His Only Begotten Son (Mt.3: 17, Mt.17: 5).
2) The believers in him. (Jn.16: 27, Jn.14: 21-23, Jn.17: 23).
3) All mankind which he wants to save (Jn.3: 16).
a) The child Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, but legally he had at the same time a human father, whose love and honor protected Mary. Jesus was born in the bosom of a godly family. The Messiah was to present Himself in a humble way: Jesus came from the home of a carpenter from Nazareth. It was necessary that the Messiah was David's son. Joseph, his legal father, descended from David, just like his mother, having been miraculously conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. See (Gen.3: 15, 17: 7, Ps.132: 11, Is.7: 14, Jn.4: 9, 20:15).
b) Jesus Christ and his human names.
1) "Jesus" (Mt.1: 21)
2) "Jesus of Nazareth" (Acts 2:22)
3) "Jesus Christ man" (1Ti.2: 5)
4) "Son of man" (Lk.19: 10)
5) "Son of David"
c) Jesus Christ had a normal life.Jesus Christ had a normal life in his development and in his daily life, apart from his wisdom that came from the father himself. "And Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and men (Lk.2: 40,52). Neither Joseph nor Mary divulged the amazing events that accompanied his birth. Jesus had four brothers and several sisters, (Mr.6: 3). He was also raised in a family where he knew joys and sorrows. He became a carpenter like Joseph (Mr.6: 3). The evangelists reveal the beauty of his character and the gradual development of his human nature, waiting for the hour when he would present himself before his people as the Messiah sent by God. The Bible teaches us that he was also subject to human weaknesses, but without sin. These quotations prove it (Mt.26: 37-Anguish,) (Mt.4: 2-Hunger) (Jn.4: 6-Tiredness (Jn.19: 28, Thirst) (Jn.11: 35-Sadness) ( He.4: 15-Temptation).
The consequences of the resurrection:
a) He is declared Son of God with power (Ro.1: 4). He has been given all power in the heavens and on the earth (Mt.28: 18), since then he is seated at the right hand of God, crowned with glory and honor (Ac.2: 32-34, He.2: 9). He is waiting for the moment for his coming and establishing his kingdom (Acts 17:31).
b) For the believers the resurrection makes salvation possible (Rom.4: 25).c) The power of God triumphs over death (1R.17: 21; 2R.4: 34; 13:21).
1) "Omnipresent" (Ps.139: 7)
2) "Omnipotent" (Lk.1: 35; Zac.4: 6)
3) "Eternal" (He.9: 14)
4) "Omniscience" (1Co.2: 10).
1) He is given the name of God (Is.61: 1)
2) He is identified with God, with the Lord (Acts 5: 3-4)
3) Lord - name that is clearly the title of Jehovah (2Co.3: 17).
a) Evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit:
1) Speak in other languages, (Acts 2: 4, 10: 45-46, Acts 19: 6).
b) Example of the means that the Holy Spirit spills:
1) Prayer. (Lk.11: 13)
2) By the laying on of hands (Acts 9:17, Acts 19: 6).
3) Hearing of the Word (Acts 10: 44-46).
4) Persist in prayer (Acts 1: 14, 1: 4-5, Luke 11: 5-10).
5) Have faith in God (Mr.9: 23, He.11: 6)
1) Wisdom, knowledge (1Co.12: 8)
2) Faith, healing (1Co.12: 9)
3) Miracles, prophecy, discernment of Spirit, tongues and interpretation of tongues (1Co.12: 10).
One of the purposes for which God has given us the gifts of the Holy Spirit is for the edification of the church that is the body of Christ (1Co.14: 12) (1Co.14: 4).
1) Reasons for repentance.
to. The goodness of God that leads to repentance (Ro.2: 4).
b. The coming judgment, on account of which God commands all men now that they repent (Acts 17: 30-31).
1) The means of Justification:
to. Jesus justifies us by his blood. (Ro.5: 9)
b. He justifies us by his grace (Titus 3: 7).
c. Justification is received by faith, and never on the basis of works (Ro.3: 26-30, 4: 5, 5: 1, 11: 6, Ga 2:15, Eph.2: 8-10) .
2) The results of the justification:
to. The sinner is freed from punishment by the Sovereign Judge: He is declared righteous, and made whiter than snow (Isaiah 1:18). For there is no longer condemnation (Ro.8: 1). Because God sees him in Christ, clothed with the perfect justice of his divine Son (2Co.5: 21).
b. From the moment he receives the grace of God, his faith produces works that constitute the demonstration of the reality of his justification.
c. According to the book of Romans Chapter 5: 1. One of the results of justification is to have peace with God, after having believed (Acts 13:39, 1 Cor.6: 11).
1) Moral:
to. The believer is exhorted to sanctify himself by separating himself morally from the world and from his contaminations (2Co.6: 14, 7: 1).
b. Ritually, contact with holy things or persons can sanctify (1Co.7: 14; Ex.29: 37).
2) How we receive sanctification:
to. Through the repentance of the sinner; when he has known Christ; accepting him as his personal Savior. (Ga.3: 25-27; Jn.1: 12; Ef.4: 24).
b. As Sons of God we are saints, but God commands that your holiness be perfected and progressive (2Co.7: 1) (1P.1: 15-16). So that we are fit to depart with the Lord on the "Day of His Coming". (He.12: 14)
3) Spiritual:
to. In the following verses we see that the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the Word of God obtain sanctification. (1 Ts.2: 13; Jn.17: 17).
The first origin of illness and death must be sought, obviously, in sin and in the fall.
1. BECAUSE THE DISEASES COME:
a) For a sin committed (Dt.28: 58-61)
b) It may come from the parents' faults (Ex.20: 5)
c) It can also reach Christians who do not judge themselves by abandoning their disobedience (1Co.11: 30-32).
2. HOW DIVINE HEALING IS OBTAINED:
a) For confessing our sins to the Lord (James 5: 14-15).
b) For the work of Christ. (Is.53: 4-5; Mt.8: 17; 1P.2: 24; Mt.9: 29).
c) Divine healing is also obtained through faith (Mk.16: 17-18, Ex.15: 26).
d) Using the intercessory prayer (James 5: 15-16).
1. PROPOSED EVENTS IN YOUR ORDER:
a) The first resurrection:
Three different resurrections are mentioned in 1Co.15: 20-24 and two in Jn.5: 25-29 and Rev.20: 4-6. When three are indicated, it refers to that of Christ, of the believers, of the unsaved. Between the resurrection of Christ and that of believers, obviously intervenes the present era and the end or the last resurrection, which belongs to the unsaved, is the millennial reign of Christ (1Co.15: 24-26). The two resurrections of mankind are called the first and the second (Rev.20: 4-6, Phil.3: 11, T1Ts.4: 13-18).
b) The rapture of the living saints:
The resurrection of the bodies of the believers is intimately related in time and circumstance with the translation, without death, of the living saints. The Apostle, after having described at length the resurrection of the bodies of believers who have died (1Co.15: 35-50), proceeds to declare a mystery or a sacred secret not revealed until now (1Co.15: 51-57) , that is, not all of us will sleep, but with important changes that happen in a moment, Sons of God, in their body they go out to meet their Lord in the air (Jn.14: 1-3; 1Co.15: 51- 52; 1Ts.4: 13-18; 2Th.2: 1; He.9: 28).
c) The church in heaven:
Because the book of Revelation is totally prophetic, and because it traces not only the entire earthly history of the church (chapters 2 and 3), but also that which will follow (Rev.4: 1), it is to be expected that the identification of the church in heaven will be clearly indicated in what follows the description of his life here on earth. The experience of John as a precursor or representative of the church is largely what the church still has to experience; therefore, when he was raptured through a door to heaven (Rev. 4: 1), in that same way it can be understood that the church will be snatched when its days of pilgrimage on earth are fulfilled. It is also significant that the 24 elders appear in heaven immediately after the church has been removed from the earth. These elders, as already indicated, are those who, according to their song (Rev.5: 9-10), are those who have come from the earth, from every lineage, language, people, and nation who have been redeemed for God. by the bleeding of the lamb (Rev. 7:14, 19: 7-9).
1. EVENTS OF THE TRIBULATION:
a) The cruel reign of the beast rising from the sea (Rev.13: 1), and who at the beginning of three and a half years broke his covenant with the Jews "by virtue of which they will have restored the cult of the temple" ( Dn.9: 27), and will personally appear in the temple claiming to be worshiped as God (Mt.24: 15; 2Ts.2: 4).
b) The active intervention of Satan with great wrath (Rev. 12: 12), and his work of imparting power to the beast (Ap.13: 4-5).
c) The unusual activity of the demons (Ap.9: 2-11).
d) The terrible judgment of the cups, announced in Ap.16. However, the great tribulation will also be a period of salvation. Here is a large number that God has chosen in the nation of Israel (Rev.7: 4-8) and of those who are said to have come from the great tribulation (Rev.7: 14). Together with a great multitude of gentiles (Rev.7: 9). These do not belong to the priesthood, the church, with which they seem to have a relationship similar to that of the Levites with the priests, under the Mosaic covenant.
2. OTHER EVENTS OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION:
a) The appearance of the man of sin, (Ez.28: 1-10, Dn.7: 8, 9:27, 11: 36-45, Mt.24: 15, Jn.5: 43, 2Ts.2: 1-12, Rev.6: 2, 13: 1-9, 19: 19-20, 20: 10).

g) The second coming of Christ, (Rev.19: 11-16, Ez.20: 33-44, Is.63: 1-4, Ro.11: 26-27, Ps.2: 7-9; .96: 13; and 98: 9; Is. 63: 1-6; Dn.2: 44-45; Mt.24: 29-30; 2Ts.1: 7-10).
h) Satan bound and condemned (Rev. chapter 20).
i) The recollection and judgment of the sorrowful Israel (Is.61: 2-3, Mt.5: 4, and 24:30, Dt.30: 1-8, Is.11: 11-12, Jer.23: 7 -8; Ez.37: 21-28; Mt.23: 37; and 24:31; Ez.20: 33-44; Mt. 24:37; Mt.25: 30; Ez.37: 1-14; Dn.12: 1-3, and 13. Mt.25: 10).
j) The judgment of the nations (Mt.24: 37, 25: 46,25: 31-46, Gen.12: 1-3, Joel.3: 2-16, Sal.96: 13, and 98: 9 ).
k) Human life in earthly reign (Is.11: 10; Mt.25: 34; Is.14: 1-2; 60:12; 61: 5; Ez.37: 22; Is.11: 6-9 65: 18-25; Jer.31: 33; Is.66: 1-19; Mt.5: 1-7-29; Ro.8: 18-23).

m) The present earth and the heavens will pass (Is.65: 17, 66:22, He.1: 10-12, 2P.3: 3-13, Rev.20: 11, 21: 1).
n) The judgment of the great white throne (Rev.20: 12-15, 21: 8, 22: 10-15).

b) Faith. (Ro.3: 24-27).
c) Be doctrinal (Mt.28: 20; 2Ts.2: 15).
3. Results of baptism:Baptism saves us, but not by removing the filth of the flesh (1P.3: 21). The believer is baptized not to be saved, but because he is saved.
1. PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE:
a) Fellowship (Gen.2: 18).
b) Procreation (Gen.1: 28).
1. THE CHURCH:
In essence, the church is the community of all New Testament believers who have been united by the bond of faith and the regenerative action of the Holy Spirit. The church is instituted by God (Mt.16: 18; 1Th.1: 1; Ef.2: 20; 1Ti.3: 15). Redeemed by the blood of Christ (Rev.5: 9). It is universal because the Sons of God of all countries and backgrounds are part of it (Acts 2:47, 9:31). When they believe in the message of salvation (Mark 16:16; Mark 1:15).The relationship between Christ and the church is beautifully illustrated in the New Testament. Christ is the head, the Head of the body (the church). (1Co.12: 12, 13 and 27; Eph.5: 23-30). He is the husband (of the church) (2Co.11: 2; Eph.5: 31-32). Christ is the headstone of the angle of the Temple of the Lord (Eph.2: 19-22; 1P.2: 4-5). So the church is part of the body of God (Ro.12: 5; 1Co.12: 27; Eph.1: 23, 4:12; Col.1: 24; Acts 2:19).
a) The government of the church.
The reasons why there is a government in the local church; It is because the same scripture gives us the authority to do it. Every authorization for a government in the church must be found in the epistles of the New Testament and every rule exists for the church to affirm that its procedure is justified by the deeds. There are several biblical citations that give us the requirements of those who can participate in the government of the church (Acts 6: 3; 1Ti.3: 13; Tit.1: 5-9; 1P.5: 1-3).
b) Our government is composed as follows.
1) Pastor: Spiritual director as a servant of God and president of the official body (He.13: 7, 13:17).
2) Official Body: This body will be reelected every year. The functions of the official body are:
i. Rule and teach (1Ti.3: 4-5 and 17).
ii. Keep the revealed truth of perversion and error (Tit.1: 9).
iii. Monitor the church as the shepherd sees for his sheep (Acts 20:28).
iv. Oversee the distribution of church funds directing the financial program. (Acts 6: 1-3).
a) WHAT IS THE TITHE:
The tithe is 10% of the work or general income earned by a person. It is used for consecrated use or is for God (Gen.28: 22). God loves the joyful giver if we give he will also give us. (2Co.9: 6-8) We can not steal from God, from how much we receive we can give him the part that belongs to the Lord (Mal. 3: 8-10).
a) Believe in Jesus Christ as Savior (Acts 4:12, 16:31).
b) Repentance (Lk.24: 47; Acts 17:30).
c) Marry if she is in fornication or adultery (He.13: 4).
d) Have a full knowledge of the doctrine and practice of the church and be baptized in water as taught in the book of Matthew 28:19.
a) Combine all the days of worship (He.10: 25, Acts 5:42, Ga.4: 10).
b) Obey and respect the pastor and the official body; because they are entrusted to watch over our souls. (He.13: 17; 1P.5: 5).
c) Carry out the entrusted commission. (Mr.16: 15).
d) Fulfill the duties of the tithe and offerings (Mal.3: 8-10).
e) Keep reverence in the house of God, not talking with his brothers, chewing gum and no candy or going out during the hours of worship, taking care of the temple of God through personal hygiene and their children. (Ec.5: 1-3; He.12: 28; Hab.2: 20).
f) To long for spiritual growth through the reading of the Word, prayer and fasting, leading a consecrated life to the Lord by listening to the pure message of the Word of God (1P.2: 2; Jn.17: 17; Ac.1L14; Mr.9: 29).
to the woman can not cut the hair (1Co.11: 15; 1Ti.2: 9), because the hair is given instead of a veil.
b) Do not use skirts or short suits or short and cracked suits, low-cut, transparent, or wear men's clothes (pants). Can not to be a dress that provokes or shows his nakedness (Dt.22: 5; 2Co.5: 3; 1Ti.2: 9; Rev.3: 18). Do not use paint or makeup on your face, hands head or feet, do not take your eyebrow, do not use chains, neither screens or earrings (Ro.1: 26; 2R.9: 30; Ez.23: 36-45; 1Co.3: 10; Mt.5: 36; Ex.21: 6; 1P.3: 3; ; Ex.32: 2).
c) Men do not let yourself grow hair, beard, trimmed mustache, pants not stuck that their parts are marked, well buttoned shirt, do not use chains (1Co.11: 15; Ex.32: 2). Both men and women must wear appropriate clothing when they are going to direct or minister. Nobody is allowed to use the pulpit without first fulfilling the aforementioned.
While the cult is being celebrated, no member should be talking to his neighbor, chewing gum, combing his hair, or doing anything other than attending the service (Hab.2: 10).
To be accepted as a member the believer can not seek luck with the lottery, roosters, horses, and other games (1Co.9: 24-27). Drink intoxicating drinks, smoke, or chew tobacco, consult spiritualists, attend beaches, or public spas, eat animal blood, morcillo or moronga. (2Co.6: 16-18; Acts 15: 10-29).
NOTE: we do not wear a veil, "with all that, if anyone wants to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God" (1Co.11: 16).
a) PURPOSES OF THE DISCIPLINE:
1) Honor the Lord Jesus Christ.
2) Restore the brother who has sinned.
3) Keep the purity.
