Outside the wall of the old city of Jerusalem in 29 AD our world was forever changed. A Roman soldier took an
amber colored olive tree stake and nailed the hands and feet of what he thought was a criminal. Little did that
soldier know he was piercing the flesh of God Himself.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the God of eternity come to live in a human body. That hot April day in Palestine
the great God of eternity shed His own blood for our redemption.
That is the basis of our faith at Cornerstone . We ascribe to the tenets of faith of the New Testament. We discard
councils, tribunals, and ecclesiastical bodies. We seek to know the original format left by Jesus to His disciples.
We ask only "What did Jesus say?" We ask only "What did Jesus command?" We ask, "What did His disciples
teach?"
It is our belief that this is enough. No further dogmas, doctrines, opinions or additions are to be added to
Christianity today. We want the church of the 21st century to replicate the church of 29 AD as closely as possible.
Therefore we baptize in the name of Jesus Christ, as found in the Book of Acts. We practice receiving the Holy
Ghost by the evidence of speaking in tongues, the same as the early church did. We practice going to church on
the first day of the week because of their precedent. We still observe healing and the miraculous. We follow the
pattern set by Jesus' disciples in separation from the world and its' sin.
