A.R.T. CORE Theology Beliefs
“Deep inside each human heart is their A.R.T.

(Their Abiding Relationship Theology)

A.R.T. is my own personal view, also ministry framework, theology, teaching, sr pastoring perspective/ a slant. (which is optional, of course!)

(Abiding )in enduring JAMES 3:17, but asking God for His Help to do so)…(all) Relationship Theology, which is a Scriptural based, first church history, multicultural “truth seeking” perspective/ slant.

Note the 10 Bible Relationships (A.R.T. Theology) somewhere on this ministry website www.onlinefellowship.us and www.abidingrelationshiptheology.com

To Define “ CORE” It a popular youthful, online word ..which means a “human subculture” founded upon certain “likes “ and “accepted practices” and “beliefs “within a human society, nation, community , culture which has existed prior to the newly founded “subculture within a large subculture.”

This Gift, God’s work is dedicated to
(back in the day…Reverend) Sr Pastor Miley Kimball Johnson Jr. and his glad happy Bible teacher, exhorter, pastor’s wife, Nonie Simons Johnson.

In gratitude for their quiet discernment, joyful wisdom, gentle humor, and unwavering respect for all people. Through their example, I learned that true Christian leadership does not need noise, fear, or domination to be powerful. They modeled a gracious, diverse, and welcoming Christian community grounded in humility, kindness, and biblical truth.

Their influence,(also each of their parents, extended mature Christian family) including private lifestyle, helped shape my understanding that discernment can be peaceful, correction can be loving, and unity can be real across cultures, backgrounds, and traditions. This book reflects the spirit of their teaching and example.

Christian A.R.T. CORE Theology

Abiding in James 3:17 Relationship Theology/ A.R.T. CORE Beliefs

Abiding Relationship Theology (A.R.T.) is a biblical framework for Christian faith, leadership, and discipleship grounded in Scripture, relational discipleship, and the lordship of Jesus Christ. It is intended as a training guide for believers, leaders, and ministry communities seeking doctrinal clarity, spiritual maturity, and relational integrity.

Scripture and Authority

We affirm the Holy Bible, Old and New Testaments, as the inspired, authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16–17). Scripture is the final authority for doctrine, faith, and practice, above traditions, institutions, leaders, and personal experiences.

The Triune God

We affirm one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is Creator, Healer, Provider, Comforter, Sustainer, and Redeemer, and desires relational fellowship with humanity through Jesus Christ. Isaiah 11:2-3 Submit Jesus Christ was all 7 Spirits of the most holy GOD wrapped up in a neonate, youth, grown mature adult, but operating in stealth form, until His Set Time Arrived, yet without any trace of mortal sin or sizeable human ego.

Book of Acts in all it power, wonderworking excites must be trained to those who are shy, fearful, seen and been around “tongue talkers’ too much as “begin with Isaiah 11:2-3 and concentrate on that. Begin by asking God for more of each by abiding faith.”

Jesus Christ

We affirm Jesus Christ as fully God and fully man, the Son of God, Savior, Lord, and Head of the Church (Colossians 1:18). Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works, religious performance, or institutional affiliation (Ephesians 2:8–9).

The Holy Spirit and Spiritual Gifts

We affirm the work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration, sanctification, empowerment, and the gifts of the Spirit as described in the Book of Acts and the New Testament. Spiritual gifts are to be exercised in humility, love, and submission to Scripture, never as tools of control, fear, or personal exaltation (1 Corinthians 12–14).

Abiding Relationship with God

A.R.T. teaches that the core of Christianity is an abiding relationship with God through Jesus Christ (John 15). Religious form, institutions, and ministry structures are secondary to personal and communal relationship with God.

The Church and Leadership

We affirm the Church as the Body of Christ, called to unity, maturity, and love under the headship of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4). Leadership is servant leadership, not authoritarian domination or personality-centered control (Matthew 20:25–28).

Discernment and Doctrine

We affirm the necessity of biblical discernment, testing of teachings and spirits, and accountability in doctrine and practice (1 John 4:1; Acts 17:11). A.R.T. trains leaders and believers to resist false doctrine, destructive speech, and manipulative spiritual practices (1 Timothy 6:5; 2 Timothy 3:1–6; 2 Timothy 2:14–16).

Ethics, Character, and Relational Fruit

We affirm that true Christian faith produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22–23). Character and relational fruit are primary indicators of spiritual maturity.

Equal Opportunity, Real Respect (EORR)

We affirm that every person is created in the image of God (Psalm 139) and deserves dignity, honor, and relational respect regardless of race, gender, culture, background, or church tradition. The Church is called to multicultural unity and mutual honor in Christ.

Judgment, Accountability, and Reverence

We affirm the biblical call to work out salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12), to avoid false prophecy and empty religious performance (Matthew 7:21–23), and to seek truth, humility, and obedience before God.

The Mission of A.R.T.

The mission of Abiding Relationship Theology is to reform, correct, and restore Christian leadership and discipleship to biblical foundations, to balance spiritual gifts with sound doctrine, and to cultivate Christ-centered, relational, servant-hearted communities in every generation.

A.R.T. AND HISTORIC CHRISTIAN ORTHODOXY

Alignment with the First Church and the Nicene Creed
Abiding Relationship Theology (A.R.T.) does not introduce a new gospel, a new Christ, or a new church. It is a relational theological framework that intentionally aligns with the faith of the First Church and with the core affirmations of historic Christian orthodoxy, as summarized in the Nicene Creed.
A.R.T. exists to restore how believers live out the faith relationally—not to redefine what the faith is.

ALIGNMENT WITH THE FIRST CHURCH (ACTS & PAULINE COMMUNITY)

A.R.T. aligns with the First Church as described in Acts and the epistles by affirming that:
· Jesus Christ is Lord and Head of the Church (Acts 2:36; Colossians 1:18), not the institution, accept forms or popular traditions.
· Believers are led personally by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14) (John 16:13)

Christian true persons are allowed the grace, the leadership respect and know, to hear from God in abiding relationship, prayer and with/from the Word of God (Bible Scripture) for themselves or as they feel Holy Spirit lead them to attend fellowship, studies, view teachings and over all “iron sharpens iron” continue to ask “questions’ and to respectfully, politely in A.R.T. humble REAL RESPECT ask questions., to know what’s in the Bible for themselves. (Apostle Paul Philippians 2:12)

· Fellowship is relational, (God first, self second (Gen 4) mate, spouse, family and the spiritual network and community (John 16:13 Spirit-led, and Scripture-centered (Acts 2:42)

· Leadership respectfully and maturely assesses, evaluates, guards, guides and governs, as well equips rather than dominate and controls (Ephesians 4:11–16)

· Authority flows to each unique person from Christ, in a saving knowledge, repeatedly teaching, study, fellowship, and enduring,but not from religious ministry form, demands, extra rules aside from God’s Holy Word, meaning not via human or possibly cult, control, domination plus and/or hierarchy (Matthew 20:25–28)

· Faith is lived daily and privately, also at significant times publicly as before the Most High God… be it in homes, offices, business and workplaces, and public life (Acts 18; Romans 16,Role Model apostle Paul Acts 17:17)

The First Church functioned in mega and micro ‘various diverse prayer led many cultures in the first church epic era. Note: Back then the Ephesians 4 ‘titled “offices, before titles were big. They were not regarded as “big” in ministry, around the early community, as they are today.

Means: in the very first church, prior to Constantine, as they are now. Rather, the servant leader first church regarded them as “functions” (pastor, prophet, apostle, teacher, evangelist, deacon, bishop). However this was before institutional empire Christianity, without centralized control, celebrity leadership, or coercive authority. A.R.T. intentionally reflects this relational, Spirit-led model.

A.R.T. THEOLOGY’S ALIGNMENT WITH THE NICENE CREED (ESSENTIAL DOCTRINE)
A.R.T. fully affirms the essential doctrines articulated in the Nicene Creed (AD 325 / 381), including:

1. The Triune God
A.R.T. affirms:
· One God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
· The Father as Creator of heaven and earth
· The Holy Spirit as fully divine, active, and personal
2. The Deity and Lordship of Jesus Christ
A.R.T. confesses:
· Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God
· Fully God and fully man
· Eternally begotten, not created
· Of one substance with the Father
Jesus Christ alone is Savior, Lord, and Head of the Church.
3. The Incarnation, Cross, and Resurrection
A.R.T. affirms:
· The incarnation of Christ
· His real suffering, crucifixion, death, and burial
· His bodily resurrection
· His ascension and future return
Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone.
4. The Holy Spirit and the Church
A.R.T. affirms:
· The Holy Spirit as Lord and Giver of life · The Spirit’s work in His abiding relationship, plus salvatoin, in regeneration, sanctification, and guidance (see John 16:130
· One holy, universal (catholic) Church—across cultures and nations
A.R.T. emphasizes unity of the Body of Christ without enforcing uniformity.
5. Scripture and Salvation
A.R.T. affirms:
· The Holy Scriptures as authoritative and inspired (2 Timothy 3:16–17)
· Salvation through repentance, faith, and obedience to Christ
· The resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come

WHAT A.R.T. DOES NOT DO
To be clear, A.R.T. does not:
· Replace the gospel
· Add new revelation that supersedes Scripture
· Reject historic creeds
· Promote elitism or secret knowledge
· Establish a separate church or denomination
A.R.T. is a relational lens, not a doctrinal replacement.

HOW A.R.T. DISTINCTLY CONTRIBUTES (WITHOUT DEPARTING)
While remaining fully orthodox, A.R.T. uniquely emphasizes:
· Abiding relationship over transactional religion
· Discernment over blind loyalty
· Servant leadership over authoritarian control
· Relational fruit over performance metrics
· God-first dependence over institutional dependence
These emphases clarify application, not doctrine.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
Abiding Relationship Theology (A.R.T.) fully affirms historic Christian orthodoxy and aligns with the faith of the First Church and the Nicene Creed. It does not introduce a new gospel or redefine essential doctrine. Rather, A.R.T. restores relational discipleship, biblical discernment, and Christ-centered dependence in how believers live out the historic Christian faith in personal life, leadership, and community.
