well, at the time I was an active duty soldier and the pastor told her that if I couldn't be there for her when she needed me then I wasn't suitable for her. At the time I was really hurt by it and was mad at the pastor for butting in, but what could I do? No, the pastor in my opinion was wrong, but God had someone else for me.

Well, if she trusted the pastor's judgment more than her own, she wasn't really marriage material.

  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
