"Shiloh Baptist Church is a Sovereign Assembly"

"We believe and preach the doctrines of God's sovereign grace"

Spell it out!

You have heard the expression, "spell it out." This simply means, "tell what you believe" or "make it clear." I do not believe that anyone reading this article can mistake what I am saying.

	I believe and teach that the Almighty is just that - "Almighty." He runs things. Nothing moves without Him (Dan. 4: 34-35, Eph. 1: 11).
	I believe and teach that our Lord Jesus Christ is totally successful in all His doings. He is not "trying" to do anything. He saves all whom the Father gave to Him before the foundation of the world (John 17: 2, 2 Tim. 1: 8-9).
	I believe and teach that God, the Holy Spirit, gives life to every dead sinner for whon Christ died (John 6: 63, Titus 3: 5-7). He is the Regenerator, the Life Giver. He sheds life on all of God's elect, through the preaching of the Gospel of Christ's redeeming blood.

"Spell it out!" You could not fail to see what I said. In this days of, "er uhs", and "that doesn't mean that", isn't it high time for someone to be so plain it is unmistakable? Whether you believe what I write or not, you do know what I said. "Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness (boldness) of speech" (2 Cor. 3: 12).
