Welcome to our Christian Non-denominational Bible believers fellowship!
Disclaimer: We are not associated with any other groups with the same name (including but not limited to Followers of the Way, the Way international, etc)
The Followers of the Way, also known as the Wayists or the Way, were a religious movement that emerged in the first century AD in the Roman Empire. The movement was founded by Jesus of Nazareth, who is also known as Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Messiah.
According to the New Testament, the Followers of the Way were a group of people who followed Jesus and spread his teachings throughout the Roman Empire. The Followers of the Way believed in the power of prayer to bring about positive change in the world and the importance of living a moral and ethical life.
Overall, the Wayists taught that through faith in Jesus, people could receive forgiveness for their sins and attain eternal life in heaven. The teachings and beliefs of the Wayists were centered on the love of God, the importance of living a moral and ethical life, the belief in the resurrection of the dead and the existence of an afterlife and the importance of loving others. They believed that it was important to treat others with kindness and compassion, and they encouraged their followers to help those in need and to work towards social justice. These teachings continue to be influential today, with millions of people around the world following the teachings of Jesus and the principles of the Way.
The Wayists also believed in the importance of community, and they formed small groups known as churches that met together to pray, study the Bible, and support one another in their faith. These churches were led by leaders known as bishops, who were responsible for overseeing the spiritual needs of their congregations.
There is limited historical and archaeological evidence available about the Followers of the Way, as most of what is known about them comes from the New Testament and other religious texts. However, there are a few notable pieces of evidence that provide some insight into the lives and beliefs of the Followers of the Way.
One of the most significant pieces of evidence is the New Testament itself, which contains a collection of writings about Jesus and his followers. The New Testament includes the Gospels, which contain accounts of Jesus' life and teachings, as well as the letters of Paul, which provide insight into the early Christian church.
Other pieces of evidence include the writings of early Christian historians and theologians, such as Eusebius of Caesarea and Augustine of Hippo, who provide valuable information about the early Christian church and its beliefs. There are also a number of early Christian artifacts that have been discovered, such as catacombs, frescoes, and mosaics, which provide further insight into the lives and beliefs of the Followers of the Way.
Overall, the Followers of the Way were a significant religious movement in the Roman Empire that had a significant impact on the development of Christianity and the western world. Their teachings and beliefs continue to be influential today, with millions of people around the world following the teachings of Jesus and the principles of the Way.
The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. No man is righteous of their own, we are all guilty of sin rebelled against the holy God, who hates iniquity and demands justice. We all deserve punishment for our sin, but God so loved the world that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the cross on our behalf. Jesus never sinned and lived a perfect life of obedience, He was crucified for our sins and for the sins of the whole world, three days after his sacrifice, God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. He has resurrected to glory and lives forever more. The Lord Jesus Christ has been given all power and authority. He sent out his followers to go and make disciples of all nations to proclaim the good news and to teach others to obey everything he commanded them. He is now exalted and sits at the right hand of God. God has appointed a day to righteously judge the whole world by Jesus Christ whom he has ordained. We are called to preach the gospel and to warn all of mankind to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins that you may receive the Holy Ghost. By grace and through faith we are justified and reconciled back to God. Grace is not an excuse to continue in sin, but through faith God has given us the power to be dead to sin. The righteousness of every man is filthy as rags, so that no man can boast. Blessed is the man who forsakes his sin and puts trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, cursed is the man who forsakes the faith and puts trust in his own good works, if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. Jesus said, "I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God." If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We encourage everyone not to sin, and if any man does sin, we have an advocate with our Father. He is Jesus Christ, the righteous one! He is the propitiation of our sins and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. Those who reject the Lord Jesus Christ and the message of his mercy will be rejected on the great day of judgment.
(Romans 3:23, 10; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Psalm 5:5; John 3:16; Hebrews 4:15; 1 john 2:2; Matthew 12:40; Acts 13:30; Revelation 1:18; Matthew 28:18; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:33; Acts 17:31; Acts 2:38; Romans 5:1; Romans 6:1; Romans 6:11; Isaiah 64:6; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 8:13; 1 John 1:8; John 3:3; 1 John 1:9; 1 John 2:1-2; Luke 9:26)
Repent and Believe! Jesus is coming back soon! He is going to judge the living and the dead!
What do we believe in?
There is one God Who is eternal personal Spirit. He is infinite in power, wisdom, holiness and love. He is Triune in essential being and revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ as a Person of the Godhead is eternally one with God the Father of Whose Person and Glory He is the accurate expression. To become man He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, so that the two whole and perfect natures, the nature of God, and the nature of man, were united in one Person; truly God and truly man - the man Jesus Christ. He shed His blood and died on the cross for all the humanity, conquering sin and death and bringing salvation to the mankind. The Holy Spirit is a Person of the Godhead who is eternally one with the Father and the Son yet He is sent to achieve the Divine purpose in the world and in the body of Christ.
The Holy Bible is the inspired, inerrant and preserved word of God.
We have declaration of freedom from the condemnation of sin through the Grace of Jesus Christ. Looking to Christ, the culmination of all the promises of the Old Testament, sinners can be freely counted righteous in Him.
We are saved by grace, through faith, unto good fruit. The only one who ever kept the Law 100% was Yeshua, Jesus Christ. He showed us unconditional love through His death on the cross (justification). However, the law of God, is still the only thing the Holy Ghost uses to bring anyone to know their need for the Savior.

Our Vision
Well, my brothers and sisters, let’s summarize. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must strengthen all of you. (1 Cor 14:26)
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1Cor 10:31)
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Col 3:17)
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (Joh 17:17)
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. (Matthew 10:8)
Titihing is nothing more than the Old Testament tax, payed using crops (Malachi 3:8-10; Deut 14:22-23, 28-29; Lev 27:31-32; Luke 11:42 (Tithing in context of taxes, as there were many types of taxes collected)
Boldly expose the heresies and false teachers/pastors.
There is nothing a Christian can do to add to what Christ has done to rescue us from the eternal consequences of sin, and any effort to supplement his saving work demonstrates a lack of understanding of the gospel. Human effort will not transform the heart of the sinner. Such internal transformation through the work of the Holy Spirit results in a new life conforming to Christ’s character. Then, growing in faith, stronger day to day - sanctification. There is no such thing as once saved always saved (no matter what we do), we can clearly see examples where strong believers departed from their faith! Sanctification means to set a part or to make holy. The Holy Spirit helps us in this process to become like Christ. This is not a one time event; it’s a life long process. Our actions or work sanctify and purify us. We are separated from the world. We are in the world but not of the world. Our actions would be holy and righteous. We should think about heavenly things instead of worldly things. If you sanctify yourself to God, you may find that the world will hate you and persecute you. The Spirit is given by God to indwell and enable the Christian to reflect more closely the moral character of our Savior. I fully believe in the blessed HOPE of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I must say that more people who thought they were saved will end up in hell because of the once saved always saved doctrine.
Glorification is the ultimate reward we’ll receive when Jesus returns. We’ll be like Christ. We won’t be glorified until after Jesus returns. John writes of this in his first letter when he states that “when he shall appear we shall be like him (1 John 3:2). Paul refers to this stage frequently. For example: “For this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality (1 Corinthians 15:53). He also refers to a time when “we shall all be changed in a moment in do, twinkling of an eye at the last trump” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). Paul speaks further of the doctrine of glorification when he says in Romans 8:18, “For the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” We get glorified bodies and a new name. Feasting with Jesus. Receiving eternal life and being with Him wherever he goes.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
(John 3:16-17)
How to be saved?
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:30-31)
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:37-38 )
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Christ died once for all the sins of mankind (1 Peter 3:18)
While we yet were sinners, now we are justified by Christ and saved from God's wrath (Romans 5:6-10)
Having Godly sorrow (2 Cor 7:10)
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:9-10, 13)
One day everyone shall stand before His throne and be judged (Romans 14:11-12)
Are we ready for this judgement? (Heb 9:27-28)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
There is no other way besides Jesus to be saved (Acts 4:12)
What happens if you reject Jesus Chirst and trust into your own self righteousness? (Romans 6:23, Mathew 25:41, Rev 20:14-15)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (1 John 5:10-13)
