Today's sermon: "Rethinking Resurrection, Judgement and Destiny
Article 16 (Remix)
16. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, that the bodies both of those in right standing with God and those not in right standing with God, will be raised to life and united with their spirits—those who have done good will receive a resurrection of everlasting life and those who have done evil a resurrection of everlasting separation.
16.1 We believe in future judgment. Every person will appear before God and be judged according to their deeds in this life.
16.2 We believe that glorious and everlasting life with Christ is assured to all who pledge their allegiance to Him and, in this life, obediently follow Him. Those who have chosen not to pledge their allegiance shall suffer apart from Christ forever.
