The Four Spiritual Laws
FIRST LAW
God LOVES you, and He has a wonderful PLAN for your life.
God’s Love
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
God’s Plan
(Christ states) “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (A full and purposeful life). (John 10:10b)
Why is it that most people are not experiencing this “abundant life”?
Because…
SECOND LAW
Man is a SINNER and is SEPARATED from God; therefore he cannot know or experience God’s love and plan for his life.
Man is a sinner
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
(Romans 3:23)
Man was created to have communion with God, but due to his stubborn selfish will, he chose his own path and his relationship with God was interrupted. This selfish will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.
Man is separated from God
“For the wages of sin is death…” [that is, spiritual separation from God.] (Romans 6:23)
God is holy and man is sinful. A great chasm separates them. Man is continually trying to reach God and life in abundance, and cross this gulf of separation through his own efforts: religion; the moral; The philosophy; good works; among others.
The third law gives us the only solution to this problem …
THIRD LAW
Jesus Christ is God’s ONLY provision for the sinner. Only in him can you know and experience God’s love and plan for your life.
He Died in Our Place
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8).
He Resurrected
“Christ died for our sins… And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures… And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once;…” (I Corinthians 15:3-6).
It is the Only Way
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).
God has crossed the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place.
It is not enough to know these three laws and still accept them intellectually.
FOURTH LAW
We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in order to know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.
We Must Receive Christ
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” (John 1:12)
We Receive Christ Through Faith
“ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
We Receive Christ Through A Personal Invitation: Receiving Christ includes a change of attitude towards God, trusting in Christ, so that He enters our lives and forgives our sins.

OUR VISION
Reverse the negative social statistics carried out by school children, adolescents and young people in high danger and extreme poverty neighborhoods, located around the most populated cities in Latin America and transform them with the power of the message of Jesus Christ.
DECLARATION OF FAITH
We believe that the Bible is totally inspired by God. It is infallible. It is our authority and guide. It is the Word of God.
Psalms 119;105. 2 Timothy 3:16. Hebrews 4:12
We believe that there is only one God, eternal, existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that He has created everything we can see and what we cannot see, out of nothing. A Father who is God. A Son who is God. A Holy Spirit who is God. The Lord our God is one and outside of Him there is no God.
Genesis 1:26; 3:22; 11:7. Isaiah 6:8; 45:22; 44:6; 45:5. Romans 1:7; 9:5. Hebrews 1:8. Acts 5:3-4. Deuteronomy 4:35. Mark 10:18; 12:29. 1 Timothy 2:5
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and the atonement for our sins by His blood. We believe in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His second coming, in person, with all power and glory.
Matthew 1:18,23; 2:1-12,47; 13:55. Luke 22:70; 24:39. John 1:14; 2:1; 20:27. Acts 13:23; 2:30. 2 Timothy 2:8. 1 Corinthians 2:8; 15:4. Titus 2:13
We believe that salvation, (having eternal life and living in the presence of God forever), is only through faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. We are saved only by His grace. Each individual must decide personally and voluntarily about their relationship with Christ.
Luke 24:46-47. John 1:12-13; 3:3-16; 14:6. Acts 4:11-12; 16:31. Romans 3:23. 2 Corinthians 5:10-11. Ephesians 1:3-7; 2:8-10. Titus 3:4-7. 1 Peter 1:18-19
We believe that the human being is the climax of God’s creation and the only being on earth made by God in His image and likeness; male and female he created them. We believe that the total salvation and regeneration of the sinful human being, and that this is an absolute and essential work of the Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:26. Psalms 100; 139:13. Isaiah 49:1. Jeremiah 1:5. Acts 17: 24-29
We believe that every man is a sinner (he is separated from God by his actions of disobedience). We believe that sin entered the human race through the intervention of Satan in the beginning and that we all inherit the sin nature, that is, the tendency to do wrong, from one generation to the next. Only Christ frees us from the power of sin and its eternal damnation. When we are with God in heaven we will be free from the full presence of sin.
Genesis 1:26-27; 3:1-13. Isaiah 53:4-11. Romans 1:21-32; 3:23; 3:10-13; 5:12-19. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21. Titus 1:15-16. 1 John 2:1-2
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, one of the three persons of the Trinity, God in fullness. He lives in the Christian and is the one who enables him to live a holy life. He is the giver of spiritual gifts that enable every believer to have abilities that build up the body of Christ, that is, His church.
John 3:5-8. Acts 1:8; 4:31; 13:2-4. Romans 8:9,26; 12:6-8. 1 Corinthians 2:10-14; 12:11-13. Galatians 5:16-18. Ephesians 1:13; 4:11-12,30; 5:18; 6:12. Hebrews 2:3-4
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ in today’s world. The local church is the body formed by the baptized believers and whose head is Jesus Christ, established in a certain place. The Universal Church is all those who have believed in Jesus Christ as Savior and personal Lord, located throughout the world. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 16:18; 28:18-20. Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:10; 5:23-32. Colossians 1:18. 1 Peter 5:1-3
We believe in the resurrection of the saved and the lost. The saved will rise to eternal life and the lost to eternal damnation. We believe that Satan is the author of all evil. Man is free to choose. Satan and all those who follow him will suffer eternal separation from God.
Matthew 25:31-46; 28:1-7. Luke 16:19-31. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Acts 1:8-11. 1 Corinthians 15:4-9. Hebrews 4:14-16. Revelation 21:1-8
We believe that Jesus Christ will return a second time, to reign on this earth and to judge the living and the dead. We believe that every human being will be held accountable to the throne of God during the final judgment.
Matthew 25:46. 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. 2 Peter 3:13. Revelation 19:7–8; 20:10-15; 21:8
OUR HISTORY
We firmly believe that our church and ministry was born in the heart of God. Our history goes back to our homes. As children, our mothers, Rosa and Isaura, raised us under the teachings of the Word of God. One of the well-known evangelical Christian denominations worldwide is the Baptist denomination. In the midst of the churches of the Southern Baptist Convention of Argentina, my husband, Pastor Paul B. Pistone, was raised and trained. On the other hand, the writer of this story, Fe Ludebbie Pamphile de Pistone, was formed in the midst of the Baptist churches of Venezuela, to which I belonged since I was fourteen years old. . .
