The Living Waters in UK state their purpose to be simply that of what the first century church believed its purpose to be: to offer a safe environment for worship and prayer, to make disciples of those who might be foreign to the faith or have never really thought about what it took to become a Christian, to treat the Bible as the infallible word of God and follow its precepts, to foster unity among disciples of different congregations rather than adversity, to take care of the poor and downtrodden, to be a part of Christian education both of children as well as of the spiritual training of adults, and to take God’s message to the world. In many ways, the Living Waters church sounds a lot like many other evangelical churches across the globe.
Similar to many other churches, the Living Waters in UK also believe in the power of prayer. As a matter of fact, their path of salvation is very closely tied to the power of personal prayer as a direct opposition to Stan who has a stranglehold on a doomed world. As a matter of fact, the Living Waters in UK encourage you to read your Bible every single day. The church wants you to know that God loves you on a personal basis, no matter what your life looks like, what you have done, or what you are contemplating right now in your heart. God’s love covers over a multitude of sins. Yet with the reading of the word of God, there also needs to come the realization that you are a sinful person, and that no matter what you try to do, it will never be enough to undo the wrong you did.
The Living Waters in UK church continues on to teach that there is a consequence for your life of sin: death. Yes, God still loves you no matter what, but since He is holy and perfect, He will not be able to allow you into His holy and perfect heaven the way you are. There is no way to cheat, buy or plead your way in. Your sin makes you stick out like a sore thumb and you will not be welcome. There is one way, however, to have all your sins taken away: by claiming Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. By accepting the reality of this special gift, and by accepting the honor of being called by Christ’s name, you will have the opportunity to leave behind your life of sin and to hold your head high and worship with other believers, knowing that God no longer sees your life of sin. If you pray earnestly for Christ to enter your heart and life, you will be saved. Sadly, the church neglects to teach the fact that after such a prayer, you will also need to receive the baptism taught by Jesus Christ in order for you to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit that will now seal you as one of God’s own. This important aspect of becoming a Christian is vital for the life of a believer here on earth but also for her or his entry into heaven.
