The New Apostles' Creed of the 21st Century

As a Newly Faithful Apostle of the World...

I believe in the One Indescribable God, the Father and Mother Almighty of all lives who is of
Infinite Goodness, all Truth-giving creator, controller, upholder and preserver of heaven and
earth, in Christ Jesus Michael, the Father Son of our Universe of Nebadon who is the Vine of Life.

I believe that we are each his branches meant to bring forth the fruit of Life Everlasting.

I believe in the Father Son personified as Christ Jesus Michael who stands together with the
Infinite Creative Mother Spirit, who is the universe expression of the Infinite Spirit.

I believe in her Holy Spirit Presence to exalt my mortal mind into its eternal encircuitment with the Mind of God.

I believe in living in Holy Communion with the Father’s Spirit Life in me, and one day to enter
into eternal union, and in cooperative communion with those Divine Personalities who serve the
evolutions of the earth.

I believe in the forgiveness of sins through my personal authorship and acceptance of my creative nature, I believe in the Authority of God by acknowledging, adoring, and the full acceptance of the Spirit Life of God the Father living in me as my all-powerful authority, and...

I believe in the progressive transfiguration of my mortality through embracing
eternity each day, and in the resurrection ideal for my body, mind, emotions, and total persona
in the fulfilling achievement of the eternity embrace.

I believe in becoming born anew through the power of God the Father’s Indwelling Life, and his all-ennobling love, that I am entering the Kingdom of Heaven by the powers of holy faith, and by my wholehearted commitment to achieve the Will of God the Father.

I believe that unless I am born of the water of a new mind and the spirit life of a new creature, that I cannot see the kingdom of God, and I believe that which is born of the flesh remains of the ephemerality of flesh, and that which is born of spirit identification and loyalty is transformed in the eternity of spirit, I believe in the redemptive power of love, and in my personal soul vesture growing daily from out of my own mortality, and it’s righteousness, and in my progressive evolutionary attainment of life everlasting.

Loving Freewill Service ~

Jesus -- "The essence of his teaching was love and service..."

92:4.8 4. Urantia Book
Jesus of Nazareth. Christ Michael presented for the fourth time to Urantia the concept of God as the Universal Father, and this teaching has generally persisted ever since. The essence of his teaching was love and service, the loving worship which a creature son voluntarily gives in recognition of, and response to, the loving ministry of God his Father; the freewill service which such creature sons bestow upon their brethren in the joyous realization that in this service they are likewise serving God the Father. (Brothers and sisters am Barnabas from Western Uganda I would like to tell you that I am going back to school on Monday so pray for me and so help ...)

The affairs of this world and other worlds are divinely supervised. “He does according to his will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth.” It is eternally true, “there is no power but of God.”
3:2.1
Barnabas from Western Uganda and I'm going back to school on Monday so I need yours prayers.

Are you moving inward, upward and forward?

**From “Opening Doors Within” for January 26**

You cannot create the new by remaining immersed in the old. A new-born babe cannot remain attached to its mother. The umbilical cord has to be cut so that it becomes a separate being. So with this spiritual life.

Once you have set your foot on the spiritual path and have decided to live in the ways of the Spirit, you have to make a clean break with your old way of life. You cannot have a foot in both worlds. The choice is yours. Let there be no going back on that choice. Keep moving forward. It is when the going is rough that you may crave the so-called ‘good old days’ and want to go back.

There is no going back in this life. A babe cannot return to its mother’s womb when life becomes too hard for it. A chick cannot return to its shell, or a butterfly to its chrysalis. Life cannot go backwards. It has to go forward, always forward.

47:3.1 (532.7) On the mansion worlds the resurrected mortal survivors resume their lives just where they left off when overtaken by death. When you go from Urantia to the first mansion world, you will notice considerable change, but if you had come from a more normal and progressive sphere of time, you would hardly notice the difference except for the fact that you were in possession of a different body; the tabernacle of flesh and blood has been left behind on the world of nativity.

47:3.7 (533.5) On mansion world number one (or another in case of advanced status) you will resume your intellectual training and spiritual development at the exact level whereon they were interrupted by death. Between the time of planetary death or translation and resurrection on the mansion world, mortal man gains absolutely nothing aside from experiencing the fact of survival. You begin over there right where you leave off down here.

Jesus had an unerring ability for the recognition of truth, and truth he never hesitated to embrace, no matter from what source it appeared to emanate (126:3.8 ) AMEN!
