I've also seen and received a number of inquiries that make me want to post this question now so as to better understand the atmosphere of Worthy itself . I did read that the purpose is ministerial. I'm asking what particular denomination or dogma is upheld by the founder of Worthy or the worthy watchmen in charge. Thank you. This will help better get a feel for the community atmosphere itself.

We believe in the triunity of God. We believe that God is eternally One, and also eternally the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit — the three being distinct, but not separate. Each Person of the Godhead coexists from everlasting to everlasting. We believe in the Messiah, Jesus, God’s only begotten son, God come in the flesh. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate. He was crucified, died and buried. On the third day, He rose again. Soon afterward He ascended into heaven. Now He is seated at the right hand of the Father and He will return to judge both the living and the dead and reign for evermore. We believe all mankind are sinful and are therefore subject to God’s wrath and condemnation. We believe that everyone is in need of God’s salvation. Mankind is absolutely unable to fulfill the heavy demands of God’s righteousness, holiness and glory. Therefore, God, in sending His Only Begotten Son, has accomplished redemption for us through the shedding of Jesus’ blood. Because of His Son’s death, God has forgiven us of our sins, reconciled us to Himself, and justified us by making Him our righteousness. We believe that salvation is a gift received by faith alone, in Messiah alone, and is expressed in the individual’s recognition and repentance of sin, and the acceptance of the risen Messiah as Saviour, Lord and God. We believe in the supreme Lordship of Jesus Christ, before whom every knee in heaven and on earth will bow. And that there is no other name under Heaven by which we can approach the holy throne of God. Jesus Christ is the one and only mediator between God and man. We believe that immediately upon death, the soul of the believer is absent from the body, and present with the Lord. We believe in the ongoing work of sanctification by the Holy Spirit after redemption for the purpose of producing life changing fruit — love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self-control. We believe that the 66 books of the Canon, from Genesis to Revelation are the exhaustive, inerrant and inspired word of God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temple had 3 main components within it: the outer court, the inner court, and the holy of holies. Now the Outer Court was accessible to ANYONE to enter. The Inner Court was the areas designated for believers to enter into worship of the King. The Holy of Holies was where the glory of God dwelt -- it was entered only once a year by the High Priest and was separated by a veil. As we continue to grow as a ministry, there are certain areas of the boards where it's intended to be "believer" to "believer" discussions. Our desire is to run a "Christian" online ministry. While at the same time, we wish to welcome anyone who is NOT a CHRISTIAN to join the discussions. So we've created a new layout based on the Old Testament Temple. The Outer Court is designated for anyone who does not necessarily believe in God's atonement through Jesus -- it's the designated area of the ministry for those who are Undecided to ask questions, to join discussions, and to have fellowship. The Inner Court is designated for believers only -- ALTHOUGH anyone can read the discussions, only believers will be able to start, and reply to the discussions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, Your brother in the Lord with much agape love, George We are non-denominational....we are Believers United by our Faith in the knowledge of Who our Lord & Savior Christ Jesus IS WE learn & grow together as members of the Same Body with Christ our Head Does that help?

I am just a Christian, who is doctrinally in tune with the Bible, as best as I can understand it. I do have denominational affiliations, in as much as I attend local bodies of believers. When I began here I attended a Hope Chapel (a sort of sub-denomination of Four Square International, and I now attend an independant Baptist Church. Some of my doctrines have been refined a little or in some cases changed quite a bit. I have never thought that there was a denominational leaning or preference here, but I do believe that a sound understanding of the Bible, as the authoritative word of God, and all that implies, is a standard. I do not, as a matter of conviction, march in lockstep with the pastors or staffs or even the doctrinal statements of churches I attend, nor is it a secret that I do not. If I have a theological difference with one of my pastors, they know about it. As long as they and I, stay out of heresies, and continue to worship and obey God, and follow His teaching, I see no reason why there should be any division. We can disagree on some things, and still be family, serving and edifying one another. I see the ministry here, the staff here and most of those who are members here, in the exact same way. I think denominations are okay, sometimes beneficial, but never necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. [3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. [4] When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. The best thing about our walk now is to do so s/Spiritually 2 Corinthians 5:6 (KJV) [6] Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: [7] (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) [8] We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. [9] Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. [10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. How strange it is to handle what everyone around us would kill for as it is worthless to us.... Love, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find atheist, agnostics, those from false religions (according to scripture) and even trolls. You will find those who come to fellowship, those seeking answers, those who wish to help others and those with an agenda to fulfill. I wold say this site is a melting pot of sorts. Those who are in ministry follow the Lord where He leads them. We may not always agree, but we are united in Him., Christ Jesus as brought forth in scripture.
