OUR BELIEFS

The Historic Message Church in Portland Oregon is a fellowship of Bible-believing Christians that has been meeting since the Spring of 1995. We, along with many like believers around the world,
 hold among other Biblical teachings - the following distinguishing points:

The Second Coming of Christ

    • The nearness of the 2nd Coming of Christ to this earth.
        (Matthew 24, II Timothy 3:1-5)
       
    • That we cannot know precisely when He will come.
        (Matthew 24:36)
       
    • That His coming will be from Heaven and visible to all.
        (Matthew 24:23-27, Acts 1:11, Revelation 1:7)
       
    • That Jesus Christ will raise those who have died in Him from their sleep of death to live with Him in Heaven from that time forward.
        (I Corinthians 15:52, I Thessalonians 4:13-18, John 11:24)
       

The Lord’s Day

    • A belief in the sanctity of the Lord's Seventh-Day Sabbath: established by God and given to all mankind at creation.
        (Genesis 2:3)
       
    • Detailed in God's holy Ten Commandments.
        (Exodus 20:8-11)
       
    • Kept by Jesus.
        (Luke 4:16)
       
    • Affirmed in the New Testament.
        (Acts 17:2 and Hebrews 4:4-11)
       
    • Honored in the future.
        (Isaiah 66:22,23)
       

The Three Angel’s Messages

    • That God has a special message of warning to those who live on the earth in these last days and that this message is given signal importance by the representation of 3 Angels.
        (Revelation 14:6-12)
       
    • That this message is a message of Judgment (Revelation 14:7) and warning of eternal death.
        (Revelation 14:8-11)
       
    • That God distinguishes as His own those who have the "faith of Jesus" and "keep the commandments of God".
        (Revelation 14:12)
       

Salvation

    • That we are saved only by the Grace of God made possible by the blood of Jesus.
      (Ephesians 2:8,9)
       
    • That this grace covers our past sins and gives us power to obey God's holy Law.
        (I John 1:9)
       
    • That the evidence of our faith and loyalty to God's government is seen in our obedience to God's holy Law.
        (James 2:17-20)
       
    • That the validity of God's law remains.
        (Matthew 5:18 / Romans 3:31)
       
    • While the Old Testament system of sacrifices and feast days was made obsolete at the cross.
        (Matthew 27:51, Colossians 2:13-17)
