Jacksonville Theological Seminary

Revelation Message Bible College and Jacksonville Theological Seminary are inter-denominational in nature, however, we hold to the following Articles of Faith:

The Holy Scriptures

We believe that The Holy Bible is The Word of The Living God; true, immutable, steadfast, unchangeable, as it's author, The Lord Jehovah; that it was written by Holy men of old as they were moved upon and inspired by The Holy Spirit.

The Eternal Godhead

We believe that there is but one true and Living God; maker of heaven and earth and all that in them is; the Alpha and Omega, Who ever was, and is and shall be without end; that in the unity of The Godhead there are three, equal in every divine perfection, executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.

The Father - whose glory is so exceeding bright that mortal man cannot look upon His face and live; but whose heart was so filled with love and pity for His lost and sin-benighted children that He freely gave His only begotten Son to redeem and reconcile them to Himself.

The Son - Co-existent and co-eternal with The Father,Who, conceived by The Holy Spirit and born of the virgin named Mary, took upon Himself the form of man, bore our sins,carried our sorrows; and by the shedding of His precious blood upon the cross of Calvary purchased redemption for all that would beleive upon Him; bursting the bonds of death and hell, rose from the grave and ascended on high leading captivity captive, that as the Great Mediator betwixt God and man, He might sit at the right hand of The Father making intersession for whom He laid down His life.

The Holy Spirit - The third person of The Godhead, The Spirit of The Father shed abroad, omnipotent,omnipresent,performing an inexpressible important mission upon earth, convicting of sin, of rightousness,and of judgement, drawing sinners to The Savior,rebuking, pleading, searching,comforting, guiding, quickening, teaching, glorifying, baptizing, and enduing with power from on high, all who yeild to His tender ministries, preparing them for the great day of The Lord's appearing.

The Fall of Man

We believe that man was created in the image of God, before whom he walked in holiness and purity; but that by voulantary disobedience and transgression, he fell from the Eden of purity and innocence to the depths of sin and iniquity; and that in consequence of this, all mankind are sinners sold unto Satan; sinners not by coercion but by choice, shaped in iniquity and utterly void by nature of the holiness required by the law of GOD, positively inclined to evil, guilty and without excuse, justly deserving the condemnation of a just and Holy God.

The Plan of Redemption

We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, the just for the unjust; freely and by devine appointment of The Father, taking the sinners place bearinf his sins receiving his condemnation, dying his death fully paying his penalty and signing with His life's blood, the perdon of everyone who should beleive upon Him; that upon simple faith and acceptance of the attonement purchased on Mount Calvary, the vielest sinner may be cleanesed of his iniquities and made wither than the driven snow.

Salvation Through Grace

We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly through grace; that we have no rightousness or goodness of our own wherewith to seek devine favor, and must come, therefore, throwing ourselves upon the unfailing mercy and life of Him who bought us and washed us in his blood, pleading the merits and rightousness of Christ the Savior, standing upon His word and accepting the free gifts of His love and pardon.

Baptism of The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Baptism of The Holy Spirit is the incoming of the promised Comforter in might and glorious fullness to edue the believer with power from on high and thus enable him for these purposes: to glorify and exalt The Lord Jesus; to give inspired utterance in witness of Him; to foster the spirit of prayer,holiness and sobriety; to equip the individual and The Church for practical, efficient, joyous Spirit-filled soul winning in the fields of life. We believe that this still being the disspensation of The Holy Spirit, the believer may have every reason to expect His incoming to be after the same manner as that in which He came upon Jew & Gentile alike in Bible days and as recorded in The Word.

The Second Coming of Christ

We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent; that he will descend from Heaven in the clouds of glory with the voice of The Archangel and with the trump of God; and that tat this hour, which no man knowth beforehand the dead in Christ shall rise; then the redeemed that are alive and remain shall be caught up togeather with them in the clouds, to meet The Lord in the air; and that so shall they ever be with The Lord.
