The Living Truth Fellowship

We believe that Genesis through Revelation is the heart and mind of the One True God revealed to mankind via the medium that He chose: words. God reveals to us “all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:3) so that we can know Him and manifest His qualities to the world.

He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, suffered and died as the payment for all men's sin, after which God raised him out from among from the dead and exalted him to the position of “Lord” and the “Head” of the Church, the members of which comprise his Body.

The “Holy Spirit” is simply another name for the One True God (the Giver), while “holy spirit” is the gift of Yahweh’s divine nature that the Lord Jesus gives a person when he is saved (born again). It is also called “the spirit of God,” “the spiri
