About John 1:1 Ministry
John 1:1 Ministry is an independent non-denominational ministry, a non-profit faith based organization. We are not registered as a 501c3 organization. Our founding fathers of our nation saw the importance of faith based organizations in setting the moral and religious standards for our nation, and they protected it under the First Amendment. Our authority comes from God alone.
We are primarily an online ministry. This allows us to reach out and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ globally. We also serve our local community as well as people in need all over the United States and around the globe. We will go where ever there is a need that God calls us to serve.
John 1:1 Ministry and all who call themselves Christian have been given a great calling in
Matthew 28: 18 - 20 "18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
We are also called to His service to be servants.
Matthew 20:"28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Galations 5:13"For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."
OUR FAITH
ONE GOD
There is one God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; who subsist in unity, and also as three separate distinct Persons (John 14:7–16; Genesis 1:1; 1:26–27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Isaiah 40:28–29; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
JESUS CHRIST, GOD’S SON
Jesus Christ is God’s Son. He was born of a virgin as both God and man, lived a sinless life, died to atone for the sins of human beings, was buried, arose from the grave, ascended into heaven, and will literally return to earth (Matthew 1:22–23; Isaiah 9:6; 53:5–6; John 1:1–5; 14:10–30; Hebrews 4:14–15; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Romans 1:3–4; Acts 1:9–11; 1 Timothy 6:14–15; Titus 2:13).
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is the divine helper, assistant, counselor and instructor and His work is to reveal Christ, convict of sin, lead to repentance, guide believers, comfort, strengthen, and sanctify the soul (2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7–13; 14:16–17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; 5:25; Galatians 5:25).
THE BIBLE
The Bible is God’s Holy Word, without error, and is the sole authority for life (Psalm 119:105; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:20–21; 2 Timothy 3:16).
CREATED MAN’S NEED FOR GOD
Human beings are the special creations of God, made in His image. They fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and all human beings are sinners in need of salvation (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3–6; Isaiah 53:6; 59:1–2; Romans 3:23).
SALVATION
Salvation is a gift through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ. Every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ and will spend eternity in heaven, while those who die in their sins will spend eternity in hell (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8–9; John 14:6; 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1).
BAPTISM
Baptism is by immersion after salvation and is done in obedience to Jesus Christ’s command (Matthew 3:15–17; Acts 2:38)
.
BELIEVER’S ACCESS TO GOD
Each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ (Hebrews 4:14–16; 7:19; Ephesians 3:12).
THE CHURCH
The Church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head (Matthew 16:18; Acts 20:27–29; 1 Corinthians 12:27–29; Ephesians 1:21–23; 3:20–22; 4:1–3; 5:21–27; Colossians 1:17–19).
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to allow the Holy Spirit to work through us for His purpose, to grow the Kingdom of God that He may be Glorified.
LEADERSHIP
Minister Teresa W Taylor
Minister Teresa Taylor er ordineret og har et godt omdømme gennem Christian Global Outreach Ministries (minister #104546 konfereret). Teresa har kendt Herren Jesus Kristus hele sit liv. Da hun kun var et par måneder gammel, mens hun var i sin bedstemors arme, pegede hun på et maleri og sagde "Jesus". Hun er opvokset i Brentwood Baptist Church i High Point. Hun deltog i mange andre kirkesamfund, herunder katolske, baptister, metodister, Guds kirke og mere, men betragter Shiloh Baptist Church i Ramseur, NC som sit hjem.
Teresa adopterede Jesus Kristus som sin Frelser den 2. august 1987. I januar 2021 bad Gud hende om at få orden på hendes hus. Den 19. februar 2021, mens han så, hvordan hun var blevet undervist om Jesus fra hendes tidligste minder som barn, afbrød Gud hende og sagde bestemt til hende: "Ingen lærte dig, JEG KALDDE DIG!" Efter at have arbejdet på hende i 9 måneder, viste Gud hende, at han havde kaldt hende til tjeneste. Hun kæmpede med hans kald, fordi hun var blevet lært, at kvinder ikke var kaldet til at være præster. Gud viste hende, hvordan Maria Magdelene, en kvinde, var den første, han valgte til at forkynde det fulde evangelium om sin opstandelse, da han sagde til hende, at hun skulle 'gå og fortælle' i Johannes 20:17. Gud viste hende, hvordan hun allerede havde været hans tjener gennem alle hendes år, mindede hende om og bragte frem i lyset, hvordan hun havde startet og ledet bibelstudier og bønnegrupper. Han bragte minder frem i lyset om, hvordan hun havde tjent præster gennem bibelske råd, opmuntring og bøn. Han viste hende et gammelt brev, der var gået tabt og glemt i mange år, fra en præst, der takkede hende for den indvirkning, hun havde på hans tjeneste og familie, og nåede hele vejen til en kirke i Indien. Han bragte også frem i lyset, hvordan hun havde været trofast mod ham, da hun tjente Israels trofaste bevægelse på Tempelbjerget, men også hvordan hun havde tjent lokalt ved at levere bibler til dem, der ikke havde en, og mindet hende om de mange, han sendte til hende for at Hjælp. Hun accepterede trofast sit kald til tjeneste den 2. november 2021. Gud førte hende til at skabe Johannes 1:1-ministeriet, fordi han sagde, at det var her, hans tjeneste begyndte. Han førte hende til at oprette ministeriet online for at opfylde sit kald i Matthæus 28:19-20 "Gå derfor og gør alle folkeslag til disciple". Hun begyndte at arbejde på hjemmesiden 17. november 2021 og lancerede den 1. december 2021 som www.John1OneMinistry.com.
Med et tjenerhjerte har Teresa viet sit liv til at tjene Herren Jesus Kristus og tjene andre. Hun har en bachelorgrad i samfundsvidenskab og fungerede som vice sheriff i 17 år. Gud gav hende den ægtemand, der var perfekt til hende, da han sluttede sig til hende i ægteskab med hendes mand Chad Taylor. Tchad har været en kilde til styrke, støtte, opmuntring og hjælp i deres hjem, liv og hendes tjeneste. De har fem børn; Crystal ~31 år (3 børnebørn ~ Alexis, Hailey og Payton), Andrea ~ 21 år (svigersøn Darrell Kidd), Joshua ~ 19 år, David ~ 14 år, og deres englebaby Joseph (han døde i livmoderen 3 måneder efter Trisomi 18). De har også uofficielt adopteret to sønner, Darius og Jeffery. Som familie nyder de havearbejde, camping, fiskeri og geocaching.
