Introduction

2 John 1:7-11
Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. 9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. 11 Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.

If you are planning to support a ministry or employ someone as a servant of Christ it is important to know what they believe to assure you are not sinning by supporting them. This brief paper is written as a statement of my beliefs in all ten of the major areas of theology. It is not meant as a textbook to teach systematic theology. I will try to be specific in my reasoning and answering of objections but full proofs of all of my beliefs and answers to all common objections would require a multi-volume systematic theology textbook. I've written this so people will know what I believe.

I believe that the teaching of the Holy Scriptures is reasonably summarized in the system of doctrine taught in the Westminster Confession of Faith.
