Our Beliefs and Who We Are
A New Reformation
Sola Scriptura Sola Discipula
The Scriptures Alone The Disciple Alone
Our Beliefs:
We breath. Our hearts
beat. We sin.
Minute by minute we demonstrate that, without His grace and
the blood of His Son, we are living corpses - dead in our trespasses and
sin. The stain of our imputed sin can never be washed away by our own efforts or works. In view of this, live life with humility worshiping our Creator,
remembering that our time here is fleeting - and the eternity that awaits is
forever.
Read the Bible. Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. But again remember, live with humility worshiping our Creator. Reflecting on this; show the grace and love of Jesus to the humble. Pray with the afflicted. Comfort the widow. Care for the orphan. Minister to the prisoner and their families.
Touch the leper.

We, the New Reformation Team, are grateful for the work of the Reformer Martin Luther, those that came before him, and the many Reformers that followed him throughout the generations. We provide their Creeds - in the chronological order of their authorship - for the following reasons:
- To convey our beliefs
- To offer guidance in understanding the Redemptive story of the Bible
- So that the Creeds, and their profound history, can be studied to display their unyielding convictions, and spirit of Reformation battle, which are so sorely needed in this Reformation; our New Reformation.

We, the New Reformation Team, are in agreement with and
support the Apostles Creed:
“I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.”

Background on the Team - "Preach the Gospel, Die, Be
Forgotten"
We, the authors of this work, refer to ourselves as “The Team”. We are old chronologically and unless the Lord returns, we will all soon be departing from our earthly bodies. We will be experiencing the joy and peace of being in the presence of our Savior – but our time to continue this New Reformation in this earthly realm will have passed. Help us, therefore, to redeem our remaining time by striving to move forward on this New Reformation journey.
We, the Team, abide by the motto “Preach the gospel, die, be forgotten” - Nikolaus Von Zinzendorf. With that in mind, we do not consider this to be “our” Ministry. We work on it with the confidence that our Sovereign Creator will guide and prosper this effort as He sees fit. It is not important who we are.
