I, Louise Haney, the penman of Love The Lord Bible Studies and founder of Love The Lord ministries, believe that all who truly seek Jesus as their Lord and Saviour will be saved. Denominations are based on the customs of certain groups of people. Love The Lord ministries and Love The Lord Bible Studies are interdenominational, not doctrinal and embrace all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and those who sincerely seek Him.
The Following is my statement of Faith....

The Scriptures Inspired
I accept the Scriptures as the revealed Will of God, the all sufficient rule of faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity, adopt these statements of Fundemental Truths. I believe the Scripture is the inspired Word of God. I believe it to be the revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason, but not contray to reason. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12).

The One True Godhead
The triune Godhead is comprised of three separate and distinct personalities, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, who are eternally self-existent, self-revealed and function as one entity. Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and The Holy Spirit. (1 John 5:7)

Man, His Fall and Redemption
Man was created good and upright, for God said, "Let us make man in Our image, after our likeness". But, man, by voluntary transgression, fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God. (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21)

The Salvation of Man
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross Jesus Christ became sin providing salvation for all mankind, (Psalms 103:3) being justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. For by grace we are saved through faith. (Romans 3:24, 10:8-10; Ephesians 2:8)

The Evidences of Salvation
The inward evidence to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness of The Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness (1 John 3:23).

Faith and Works
Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works will determine our rewards in eternity (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; Romans 14:10-12; and 2 Corinthians 5:10).

Baptism in Water
The ordinance of baptism in water is symbolic of a burial with Christ and should be observed as commmanded in the Scriptures by all who repented in their hearts and truly believed on Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord (Matthew 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:4).

The Lord's Supper
(1 Corinthians 11:24-28)

The Promise of The Father
All Believers are entitled to, and ardently expect and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and Fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early christian church. With it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31) This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth. (Acts 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9)

The Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
The full consumation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tounges as the Spirit gives utterance, and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service. (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:2,6; 1:8)

The Church
The churh is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and the chruch of the first born which are wriiten in heaven. (Ephesians 1:22; 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23)

The Blessed Hope
Jesus is coming again to gather all His saints to heaven. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 2 Thessalonians 2:1)

The Lake of Fire
Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead. The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of Life, shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. This is the second death, the lake of fire. (Revelation 19:20; 20:10-15)

The Millennial Reign of Jesus
The return of our Lord Jesus Christ with His saints from heaven to rule and reign for one thousand years on earth as the Scriptures promised. (Romans 11:25,27; 2 Thessalonians 1:7; Revelation 19:11-16; 20:1-7) After this, there shall be a new heaven and a new earth. (Revelation chapter 21)
