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 are ONE. Just as we are body, mind and spirit, created in His image. The Father is God. Jesus is God. The Holy Spirit is God. He is the Almighty God, creator of all Heaven and Earth and all that is in them. (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, Ephesians 4:4-6.
JESUS CHRIST, GOD’S SON
Jesus Christ is God, come to the earth to dwell with us. Christ is not His last name, it means 'the anointed one'. Jesus is the name above every name because He is the only One worthy to be our sacrifice and reconciliation. He is the only Way to God. He is the Truth of God. He is the Life God has given us. He is the Love God has given us. He is the Light that gives Life to every man that comes into the world, because He is the creator, and He is the only way to an eternal life with God, because He is God. He was born in the flesh. He was born of a virgin as both God and man, lived a sinless life and suffered as a human. He was crucified on a cross and died to atone for the sins of all humans on earth. Jesus being God, became the sacrificial Lamb, a perfect and acceptable sacrificial atonement for all of our sins. He was buried, in a borrowed tomb, and being God, death could not keep Him and He arose from the grave alive. He spent 40 days after coming out of the grave, testifying and was witnessed by over 500 people. He then ascended into heaven, and will literally return to earth in His glorified Flesh, the same way that He left when He ascended, as He promised, and as the angels testified to the disciples. (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 God. He is our divine comforter, helper, counselor, instructor, protector., creator. He is our ever present help, always working. His work reveals and testifies of Jesus as God and Savior , convicts us of sin, gives us understanding, leads us to repentance, guides, comforts, strengthens, sustains and sanctifies us. He is the heart and soul of God, Who is the Lover of our 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. Jesus is the Word of God. Every word in the KJV Bible is divinely inspired by God, and a miracle in and of itself. It is a library of books written by 40 writers from different cultures, with different writing styles, living in different countries at different times, speaking over 50 different languages, over a period of 1500 years. And in spite of such diversity it is in perfect harmony and unity, compiled in 1611 into one language that would be spoken commonly all over the earth and translated into more languages than any other book, at a time when mass production and distribution would make it possible for everyone to have one, and the longest bestselling book in all the world since it's production, containing in it about 2500 prophecies, of which about 2000 have already been fulfilled to the letter and without error, proving it's reliability. God says that Heaven and Earth will pass away, but His Words will never pass away. Even without written form that can be read, He places His Word in our hearts and mind, that we may know Him. The Word of God has impacted each person's life, more than they realize it, even if they have not read it. As Jesus said in John 10:35, "Scripture cannot be broken.". (Psalm 119:105; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:20–21; 2 Timothy 3:16).
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. We are no longer born into the perfect world that God created for us in the beginning, where He could be present with us, but we are born into a world stained by sin, that takes away life and perfection and causes death, destruction and hell. No matter how 'good' we think we are, there is no works or deeds, good or bad, that can pull us out of the sin that we are born into, that separates us from God. Everyone will physically die, but our souls are eternal. Without being cleansed of our sins through the blood of Jesus, God Himself, we cannot be reconciled to God and have eternal life when we die. And die we will, because of the curse of sin. But God told Adam in the beginning, if you eat from that tree, you will surely die (the very first prophecy). And so far, that has been true for every person ever to exist, except one...the one who IS God, who we call Jesus. (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. What must you do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved. It is so encompassing and profound, yet it is that simple. (Acts 16:30-31) (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 considered the body of Jesus Christ. It is all who put their faith in Jesus as God and Savior, who follow His teachings and carry on His ministry of sharing the gospel, which is the good news of the Kingdom of God where we can have eternal life being reconciled to God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ. (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.
