Pensacola Orthodox Preterist Baptist Assembly
1.This is a statement of beliefs concering what we Believe and Pratice according to the PERTERIST VIEW which means that all things that God's Promised in the Law and The Prophets were Fulfilled and Accomplished by Jesus Christ by A. D.70. That is Going from being natural in the flesh. Unto being Spiritual in Jesus, and being in one of the Lord's Local Assemblies of Christ, all Assemblies make up the Spiritual Kingdom of Christ.Under the Terms,Benefits, and Blessing of the New Covenant Jn.17:20-21.Eph.1:10-12; 2:13-18; 3:5-6; Heb.8:7-13; 10:9; Rev.5:10-11
2.The preterist view of interpreing the Word of God ( Jesus christ is living Word of God. Jn.1:1;Rev19:13; and is Necessary and Essential to Rightly understanding what he came to teach and do. Then Fulfilll all He Promised.
3."Jesus Christ said" to His Disciples in Jn.4:33-34; 5:30,36 My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to Finish his Work".God's Will was to have a Spiritual Family of Sons And Daughters to Dwell with.1Cor.3:16; 2Cor.616
4."Jesus Christ said Mt,5:17-18 Think not that I AM come to Destroy the law", or the Prophets": I AM not come to destroy, but to Fulfil". He was talking to This Generation of Israel in the First Century in Mt.15:24; 10;5-7
5."Then He said, For verly I say unto you, "until heaven and the earth pass", one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, "till all be Fulfilled". And that include the 2nd appearing of Jesus Christ . Mt.4-31.
6. Jesus "Said" in Mt.24:34-35 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass untill all these things be fulfilled "Heaven and Earth shall pass away"( that is Jewish Economy and the Old natural Covenant) and the New Spiritual Covenant shall be Establish, but my words shall not pass away. Heb.10:9; 2 Cor.3:6, 13; Gal..4:25-31
7.There are Several Scriptures references that show that the phase "HEAVEN and EARTH" is a "FIGURATIVE EXPERESSION" meaning the Jewish Economy.Moses used the term in Deut. 31:30; 32:1 heaven and Earth talking to Israel. Isa.1:1-4; 34:1-4; 51:6; Hag.2:6-7,21-22; Psa.102:25-26; 2Pet.3:11-13; Heb.12:26-29; And Christ used in Mt.5:18 and 24:35.We see the Old Covenant is pass away, and the New Covenant is taking its Place
8. Jesus Christ also said in Lk.24:25-27, 44 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. That MUST be FULFILLED.The new Covenant, Lord's Local Assemblies, and The Spiritual Kingdom of Christ. Rev.5:10
