Hi guys. I was just wondering if you could tell me a bit about WOF. More specifically, what makes it different that run-of-the-mill Charismatic Christianity?
Thanks!

It does that by revealing and instructing us in principles of the kingdom of God that we are translated into when we are born again, according to Rom 10;9-10.
Col 1:13
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
KJV
We are also instructed as to how to live by faith. It is by faith that we access all of God's Grace available to us.
It teaches us how to prosper in life in all areas and have the abundant life that Jesus made available to us.  |

1. The identity of the believer in Christ.
2. Walking in unconditional love.
3. God's will for you is good. Just start following his Word. |

The last link works, but it has been marked for staff-view only.
We still have the statement of belief we were originally working on. It's just been indefinitely postponed... |
