Our
Purpose
(1)
The FUNTC
is a
fellowship of New Testament Disciples, elders and New Testament
Churches who serve the body of
Christ as Missionaries, Chaplains, Pastors,
Evangelists, Prophets and Apostles.
(2)
The fellowship assists each
Disciple in the startup
and growth of his or her ministry. The FUNTC also provides the
opportunity for
fellowship,
supervision and ministry support to its aherents.
(3) The
fellowship teaches the historic New Testament faith of our
first-century forebearers.
(4)
We strive to maintain and leave for our
posterity a vibrant, healthy and prepared Remnant Bride
ready for the Lord's return.
(5)
We
trust that Almighty God will strengthen us in the trying hours of these
last days to remain faithful and true to the doctrines which have been
entrusted to us from faithful men who were willing to suffer and die
for the Gospel's sake.
(6)
The FUNTC
is not a denomination; it is a fellowship, but is not incorporated, has
no headquarters, owns no property, employs no workers, holds no bank
accounts, owns no equipment, maintains no formal membership, adopts no
Constitution and operates with no by-laws.
(7)
There
will be an annual and other meetings, as the Lord leads, and
it will always be under the authority of a local unregistered host
church, with the host
pastor having the final authority on all speakers.
Foundational Beliefs The Remnant Bride
1.
We believe the Bible consisting of the Old
and New Testament in the original languages, to be the only inspired,
inerrant,
infallible and authoritative Word of God ever written and that The
Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and pratice.
3.
We believe that there is
only one God,
whose Name is Jesus, eternally existent and manifest in three ways: as
a
father, as the son and as the Holy Spirit.We
believe in the virgin birth of Jesus by a Divine creative act. We
believe that Jesus lived a fully human, but, sinless life.
4. We
believe in Jesus's power to perform miracles during His earthly ministry
and in His
power through the Holy Spirit to operate in His Reminant Bride today.
5.
We
believe Jesus through the atoning blood of God and as “The
Sacrificial Lamb“ has the power and authority to forgive sin in
each believer.
6.
We believe this same Jesus as The Christ will soon and very soon return
in power and glory to judge bith the sinner for his sin and the
reborn for his stewardship.
7.
We further believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of His Body and that this Body is
an Unregistered End Time Remnant of Disciples who are a seperated people.
8. We believe that Jesus The Christ
exercises
His authority in each local congregation, which is in and of itself a
complete "church", as authorized in the Scripture, and must be autonomous.
9. We believe that Jesus mainfests His authority through the
Holy Spirit which must be confirmed by the Holy Scriptures which are administered by the
local Elders when they operate by the gifts of the five fold
ministry.
10. We believe in the present day
ministry of the
Holy Spirit and that by the laying on of hands at baptism by the local
Elders,
God, as The Holy Spirit, indwells each Believer and gives each believer
the
power and
fullness to live a godly life in this present world.
11. We
believe that all activity authorized by the Holy Bible and commanded of God for the His Remnant Bride is an act
of worship of God and that this End
Time Unregistered Remnant Bride should never seek or accept any authorization, validation or
licensure from any government, civic or educational organization or
group for these acts of worship.
We further declare by the authority of Scriptures that civil government has no right to
require God’s people to be licensed to do what is authorized
by
the Word of God such as preaching, teaching of our adherents and their
children, administering Holy ordinaces which include Christian
Marriage, Baptism by emerison, constructing the House of Worship
and its various instruments for that worship, Washing of Feet, New
Testament Passover and Christian Burial.
12. We
believe that aherents in each local congregation of this Unregistered
End Time Remnant should be contributing members of
society and obey the law of the land so long as that law does not
require aherents to violate the Scripture
in order to comply.
We further believe that should compliance to any
law of man require aherents , individually or collectively,
to violate the Holy Word of
God, these aherents individually and collectively must comply with the
higher law of God, even if to do so may cause persecution for a season, unkind treatment, imprisonment or even death.
We
also believe if when an
organized effort from any source seeks to harm the Remnant Body of
Christ, the Remnant Body under direction of the Holy Spirit,
acting on the Word of God and having been authorized by the
Eldership; has the Divine authority and blessings of God under
His
leadership to use force to protect and defend His Body so long as the
force used is limited to the least force necessary to accomplish this
protection and defense of the Remnant Bride.

Six
Things Disciples Must Believe
‘About
What Happens After Death’
I.
Chrisitan
must believe, that there shall be 'a
resurrection of the dead,
both of the just and unjust.
Act 24:10-15 When
the governor motioned to him to speak,
Paul replied: "Because I know you have been a judge
of
this nation for many years, I am glad to offer my defense in
what concerns
me. (11) You are able to determine
that it is no more than 12 days since I went
up to worship in Jerusalem. (12)
And they didn't find me disputing with
anyone or causing a disturbance
among the crowd, either in the temple complex or in the synagogues, or
anywhere
in the city. (13) Neither can they provide
evidence to you of
what they now bring against me. (14) But I confess this to you:
that according to
the Way, which they call a sect, so I worship my fathers' God,
believing all
the things that are written in the Law and in the Prophets. (15)
And I have a
hope in God, which these men
themselves also accept, that there is going to be a resurrection, both
of the
righteous and the unrighteous.
Dan 12:1-3
At that time Michael the
great prince who stands watch over your people
will rise up. There will be a time of distress such as never has
occurred since
nations came into being until that time. But at that time all your
people who
are found written in the book will escape.
(2)
Many of those
who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to
eternal life, and some to shame and eternal contempt. (3)
Those who are wise will shine like
the bright expanse of the heavens,
and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars
forever and ever.
Joh 5:28-29
'Marvel not at this: for the hour is
coming, in the which all that are in the graves
shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done
good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have
done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation'
2. Luk
20:34-36, Joh 10:27-29 ‘Christians must believe, that they
that 'shall be accounted
worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the
dead, neither
marry nor are given in marriage:
neither can they die any
more:
for
they are equal unto the angels;
and are the
children of God, being
the children of the
resurrection'.
Luk 20:34-36 Jesus
told them, "The sons
of this age marry and are given in
marriage. (35) But
those who are counted
worthy to take part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead
neither
marry nor are given in marriage. (36)
For they cannot die anymore, because
they are like angels and are sons
of God, since they are sons of the resurrection.
Joh 10:27-29 My
sheep hear My voice, I
know them, and they follow Me. (28) I give them eternal life,
and they will never perish--ever! No one will
snatch them out of My hand. (29) My
Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all. No one is able
to snatch
them out of the Father's hand.
3. Mar_9:43-48,
Mat_25:41-46, Christians must
believe, that those that die impenitent, shall be tormented
with the
devil and his angels, and shall
be cast with them into 'the lake
that burneth with fire and brimstone'.
'Where
their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched'
Mar 9:43-48 And if your hand causes
your downfall, cut it
off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands
and go to
hell--the unquenchable fire, (44)
[where Their worm does not
die, and the fire is not quenched.] (45)
And if your foot causes your downfall,
cut it
off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and
be
thrown into hell--[the unquenchable fire, (46)
where Their worm does not die,
and the fire is not quenched.]
(47) And if your
eye causes your
downfall, gouge it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom
of God
with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, (48) where Their worm
does not die, and the
fire is not quenched.
Mat 25:41-46
Then He will also say to
those on the left, 'Depart from Me, you who are
cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels!
(42) For I was
hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat;
I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink; (43)
I was a stranger and you didn't take Me
in; I
was naked and you didn't clothe Me, sick and in prison and you didn't
take care
of Me.' (44) "Then
they too will
answer, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger,
or
without clothes, or sick, or in prison, and not help You?' (45) "Then He will answer them,
'I assure
you: Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not
do for
Me either.' (46) "And
they will go
away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
4. Christians must
believe, that
because God is naturally holy and just, even,
as he is good and merciful;
therefore, all having sinned, none
can be saved, without the means of a
redeemer.
Job 33:24 'Then he is gracious unto him, and
saith, Deliver him from
going down to the pit:
I have found a ransom'
Col 1:14 'We have
redemption through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins'. Heb
9:22 For
which 'without shedding of
blood, is no
remission'.
5. Christians must
believe that Jesus The Christ our Lord himself
is the redeemer.
Psa
78:35 'They remembered that God was their rock, and the high God
their redeemer'.
1
Pe 1:18-19 'Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed
with corruptible things,
as silver and gold, from your vain conversation
received by tradition from
your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of
a lamb without blemish,
and without spot'.
6. Christians
must believe, that the great reason why the
Lord did clothe himself
with our flesh and blood, was
that he might be capable of obtaining
the redemption,
that before the world, was
intended for us.
Heb
2:14-15 'Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and
blood, he
also himself likewise took part of the same; [mark] that through death
he might
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and
deliver them
who through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to
bondage'.
Gal
4:4-5 'When the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his Son, made
of a woman,
made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law'.
Heb
2:17-18 'Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like unto
his brethren,
and that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things
pertaining
to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he
himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that
are tempted'.
Gal
3:13-14 'Christ
hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law, being made a curse
for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
That the
blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through [faith
in] Jesus Christ'.
