The Church of God in Kenosha WI invites you to come as you are and experience the love and grace of Jesus of Nazareth.

The Church has a several fold reason for existing in the world today.

These important purposes are divinely originated and are found in the New Testament.

During the subsequent 1,578 years, there were glimmering rays of light as the submerged TRUTH struggled to break forth—by the providence of God—into this world’s “gross darkness.” Then there came a divine revelation on June 13, 1903 in what is now known as Fields of the Wood.

Though it found a welcome in hungry hearts who would give ear to it, and though thousands have accepted it, the enemy of TRUTH has waged an incessant warfare against it.

This alone is the most convincing proof of its veracity.

The faith of the gospel has been committed solely into the hands of the Church and thus the responsibility for keeping and guarding the faith rests upon the Church’s shoulders.

It is The Church of God’s duty to keep the faith pure and unadulterated and to defend it against all enemies.

One phase of keeping and guarding the faith is the searching out and putting into operation God’s laws for the Church, the full restoration of the New Testament doctrine and governing principles.

These teachings are all based on the Scripture; they were taught and practiced by the early Church; and they have been searched out in these last days by godly men and women not concerned with their own opinions.

However, the Church does not make a “hobby horse” of any one teaching or group of teachings, but accepts the whole Bible rightly divided with the New Testament as the only rule for government and discipline.

These teachings of the Church do not constitute a creed or statement of beliefs, for The Church of God accepts the whole Bible as the inspired Word of God.

All those who become members of the Church assume the following obligation: “Will you sincerely promise in the presence of God and these witnesses that you will accept this Bible as the Word of God—believe and practice its teachings rightly divided—the New Testament as your rule of faith and practice, government and discipline, and walk in the light to the best of your knowledge and ability?” This is a “perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.” Regeneration is an act of God performed in the justified heart whereby new, spiritual life is generated.

Man is dead in trespasses and sin through Adam; he must be quickened or regenerated through Christ.

It is a vital part of the plan of salvation by faith.

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5).

Other Scriptures are Matthew 19:28; Ephesians 2:1, 4, 5.

Regeneration is simultaneous with the new birth.

Speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance is the initial, physical evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

No one ever receives the Holy Ghost without speaking in tongues.

This is separate and distinct from the gift of tongues which is one of the nine gifts of the Spirit.

“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance” (Acts 2:4).

Also read John 15:26; Acts 10:44-46 and 19:6.

The Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ and is a sacred ordinance which we are commanded to observe.

The Supper consist of unleavened bread, which represents His body broken on the cross for our sins, and the wine (unfermented grape juice), which represent the blood of Christ shed for our sanctification.

This ordinance is observed in commemoration of Christ and His death.

Only sinless and consecrated Christians are eligible to partake of this Supper.

Read Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-33.

Those who die in the Lord and those who are serving Him when He returns will receive a reward of eternal life—eternal happiness in the presence of the Lord.

“And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal” (Matthew 25:46).

Read Luke 18:30; John 10:28; Romans 6:22; 1 John 5:11-13.

Our life in this present world determines our eternal reward.

The unconverted and the wicked are doomed to eternal punishment, from which there is no escape—no liberation but annihilation.

“And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal” (Matthew 25:46).

Read Mark 3:29, 2 Thessalonians 1:8, 9; Revelation 20:10-15; 21:8.

Divorce and remarriage constitute the sin of adultery.

Matthew 5:32, “But I say unto you, That whosever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced comitteth adultery.” The only allowable causes for remarriage are fornication and death.

However, fornication is not unfaithfulness or simple adultery, but is a state of being married to another’s wife or husband.

1 Corinthians 7:2, “Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife.” Read Matthew 5:32; 19:3-9; Mark 10:12; Romans 7:2, 3; 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 13; 1 Corinthians 6:16-18; 7:10, 11; Revelation 2:22.“ width="100%” height=“800” frameborder=“0”>“ width="100%” height=“800” frameborder=“0”>
