I love being a part of the Church of God and have been baptized since December of 2011. Here is my testimony.
I believe in the Bible, believe in and fear God.
From the first time I started studying in the Church of God, I have never felt pressured to do anything. Every question I had was answered through the Bible. The teachings we practice such as the Passover and Sabbath Day are teachings Jesus taught.
Believing in the Bible as the absolute word of God is essential for understanding the faith I have and why I believe the Church of God is holding to the teachings taught by Christ. The doctrines we hold are not hidden. We boldly proclaim that we keep the Passover, the Sabbath, etc. I go here because I want to follow what the Bible teaches. There is no other church that aligns with the teachings of Jesus like the Church of God. In fact, in the 23 years of life before I was baptized, I had never even heard of the teachings of the Passover and Sabbath even though there are many verses showing Jesus keeping them no matter how many other churches I attended.
Additionally, the members of the Church of God have always been kind and friendly. They have always felt like family to me. When I graduated from UIC-John Marshall Law School in 2014, it was the members that held a celebration dinner for me. When I passed the BAR to practice law in the state of IL in 2015, it was the members of the Church of God that attended my swearing in ceremony (here is a picture of me holding my License to Practice Law). In my experience, the Church of God has always been there for me even in these achievements in my life. I attribute all my success to how I am as a person to the teachings of Elohim God we practice at the Church of God.
