My wife & I are looking for a new church in the south San Antonio area. Maybe you guys can help us out. This is a few things will believe & the church must believe & teach.

1)Our God is one, but is manifested in three offices -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, being coequal

2) Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the light. He is Head of the church and the Son of God. All that put their trust and faith in Him will have Salvation.

3) We believe that Jesus has poured His spirit out on the believers, and is a down payment of His Promises and the Kingdom to come.

4) We live under the new covenant of Grace, the perfect law of Liberty, a better covenant with better promises.

5) We don't believe that if you don't tithe you won't be blessed. We are spirit-led believers with a cheerful heart to help support a ministry.

6) We believe that there is no condemnation in those who are in Christ; Jesus redeemed us from any curse.

7) We believe in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, including speaking in tongues.

Best wishes on finding a good church. Sad that you even have to mention #5. So much false teaching on giving these days.

Freewill giving as taught in 1 Cor 16 and 2 Cor 8-9 vs the implication that the tithes required of Israel have any relevance for Christians.
