Home What We Believe

Team Jesus Magazine was created to be an on-line and off-line community that honors God (Team Owner), and makes the name of Jesus (Our Coach) GREAT! We wholeheartedly and unequivocally believe, support, and promote Biblical principles and living a life that exemplifies a Christ-centered character. Below are some of our core beliefs and their scriptural references:

We believe that salvation is in none other than through the name, person, work, and grace of Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:6; Jn. 3:16; Rom.5:8).
We believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin named Mary (Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:26-35; 1 John 4:3).
We believe that Jesus lived a sinless life (1 Pet. 2:22; 1 Jn. 3:5).
We believe that Jesus was crucified, died, was buried, and on the third day resurrected for the sins of the world (Luke 23:33; Luke 24:6; 1 Peter 3:18; Romans 6:9-10).
We believe that all 66 books of the Holy Bible are God-inspired for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16).
We believe that God is the creator of all things, is all-powerful, all-knowing, and in control to do as He wills (14:15; Jer. 32:17; Eph. 3:20; Psa.139:1-4; 1 Sam.2:6-9; Psa. 24:1).
We believe that all of humanity has fallen short of God’s glory and is in need of salvation; hence the reason Jesus came to the earth (Rom. 3:23; Rom. 6:23; Rom. 5:8; Jn. 14:6).
We believe that God is one, but reveals Himself through the persons of the Trinity as The Father, The Son as Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. Furthermore, we believe that each Person of this Trinity is God (1 Cor. 8:6 6:44; Rom. 1:7; Isa. 9:6; Jn. 1:1 Acts 5:3; Heb 9:14; Jn. 4:24).
We believe that those who have accepted Christ’s redemptive work will inherit eternal life in a literal Kingdom of Heaven (Romans 6:23; 1 John 5:11; John 3:36; Isaiah 65; Zech. 14).
We believe that those who die without salvation go to a literal place called Hell (Psa. 9:17; Matthew 25:41; Psa.73:12-19; Luke 16:23.26; Jn. 12:48).
We believe that Jesus will return to gather His people, as well as the resurrection of the dead in Christ at His return (1 Cor. 15:21-23).
We believe in the water baptism of believers in Christ (Acts 2:38-41; Acts 22:16).
We believe that marriage is between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5; Ephesians 5:31).

They Changed Their Minds about Slavery and Left a Bible Record

Two businessmen’s unusual conversion in 1700s South Carolina led them to liberate the people they put in bondage. At first glance, William Turpin and his business partner, Thomas Wadsworth, appeared to be like most other prestigious and powerful white men in late 18th-century South Carolina. They were successful Charleston merchants, had business interests across the state, got involved in state politics, and enslaved numerous human beings. Nothing about them seemed out of the ordinary. But, quietly, these two men changed their minds about slavery. They became committed abolitionists and worked to free dozens of enslaved people across South Carolina. When most wealthy, white Carolinians were increasingly committed to slavery and defending it as a Christian institution, Turpin and Wadsworth were compelled by their convictions to break the shackles they had placed on dozens of men and women. In an era when the Bible was edited so that enslaved people wouldn’t get the idea that God cared about their freedom, Turpin left a secret record of emancipation in a copy of the Scriptures, which is now in the South Carolina State Museum. Perhaps it’s not surprising that this story of faith and freedom is mostly unknown. The two men were, after all, working not to attract attention. Neither had deep roots in Charleston or close familial ties to its storied white “planter” dynasties. Turpin’s family was originally from Rhode Island, and Wadsworth was a native of Massachusetts who moved to South Carolina only shortly after the American Revolution. Both had public careers and served in the South Carolina Legislature, but their political profiles were not particularly high. Neither of them appeared to give any of their legislative colleagues the sense that they were developing strong, countercultural opinions on one of the most ...Continue reading...
