what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ . (Ephesians 3:9) A lot of believers don't realize, that God after the period of the Acts (when Israel became Lo-Ammi for a while) gave to the apostle Paul the command to make known a new message which hath been hid in God from the beginning of the world. It was the message of the mystery.
In spite of every pastor, minister, clergyman, vicar, preacher and evangelist knows that Paul wrote again seven letters after Acts 28, they don't proclaim this gospel of the mystery to the believer. The result is that this message stays hidden and that the believers tries to put in practice the gifts, blessings and promises of the Acts which are pass over because they are linked with Israel. This leads to all kinds of disappointments and the misunderstanding of Gods guidance in our personal religious life. The purpose of this website is to reveal this mystery, which God has make known to us by the apostle Paul with al his wonderfull consequences. For this purpose we collect books, booklets, papers and articles who put this in a new light. The publications must be in accordance with the evangelical, fundamental and dispensational basis of Levend Water. However, beyond this minimum, writers are free to express whatever beliefs they may have as their own personal understanding. Our doctrinal basis is as follows : Evangelical The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word who was from the beginning God and who dwelt among us as God manifest in the flesh (John 1:1; 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:16). The all sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice for sin (Acts 4:12; Hebrews 10:14). Salvation is by grace through faith in the completed work of the Lord Jesus on Calvary's Cross (Ephesians 2:8,9). Fundamental The full verbal inspiration of the Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16) written by holy men of God who were moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21). The responsibility of each believer to live a life worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him in every way by bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10; Ephesians 2:10). The need as a sure foundation for continual growth in faith for the diligent study of the Scriptures under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, Who bears testimony through them to the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:17; 1 Corinthians 2:6-16). The recognition of Scripture as the sole arbiter in matters of Christian doctrine and practice and that received tradition and opinions are of no binding authority except insofar as they are clearly demonstrable from the Word of God (Romans 10:17; 1 Peter 1:24). Dispensational The correct handling of the Scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15) taking into account in interpretation of Scripture not only what is written but of whom, and to whom, with what words, at what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstance, considering what goes before and what comes after. The need to take note in Scripture of God's different dealings with men at different times and places and, in particular, the change recorded in Acts 28:17-31 with the resulting ministry of the Apostle Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of the Gentiles (Ephesians 3:1-9).
