About Cornerstone Christian Fellowship ...

We are a group of Christian believers in Mid Argyll who felt led to come together as a small house fellowship in the late Summer of 2017. We hold our meetings at Dove Cottage in the beautiful historic village of Kilmartin (Scottish Gaelic: Cille Mhàrtainn meaning 'Martin's cell, chapel or church').

Initially our group comprised a few individuals who were already joined in The Holy Spirit, but in His time The Lord has drawn others to join us, sometimes for a season, or as occasional visitors. All are welcome.

We continue as a small Fellowship dedicated to hearing what the Holy Spirit is saying to The Lord's People in this hour; to intercessory prayer; to studying Holy Scripture and to praise and worship. Our meetings do not have a formal structure, believing that we be led by the Holy Spirit whenever we gather in His Name.

... and Statement of Belief

We believe that ...

 ... there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and one Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the son of the one living God. He became incarnate, being begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He, being the brightness of the glory of God, and the express image of His person, and being found in fashion as a man, humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. He, declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, and having by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high, all principalities and powers being made subject to Him. Therefore, there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.

We believe that the Bible in its entirety is the inspired word of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness.

We believe that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust. There will be eternal judgement by God, who will render to every man according to his deeds, to them who by patient continuance in well doing, seek for glory and honour and immortality – eternal life; but unto them who are contentious, and do not obey the truth but obey unrighteousness - eternal damnation from his presence.

We believe that all men are by nature children of disobedience and as such, live under the wrath and judgment of God, and are alienated from His life through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their hearts. But God commended His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Being now reconciled by the death of His Son, we shall be saved by His life, which life is received by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. This results in obedience to the divine will of God as revealed by the presence of the Holy Spirit, which obedience will result in a godly life of personal holiness, soberness and righteousness.

According to the Holy Bible, we believe that marriage as ordained of God is a covenant between a naturally born man and a naturally born woman. Therefore, we believe that same sex marriage is not recognized in Scripture and is not in keeping with our beliefs.

We believe that there is a difference between what is of the world and what is of God and that this holy life requires a separation from all that is worldly and unto all that is Godly.

We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as a distinct and separate experience from the new birth, through which the nine manifestations of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12*) are divided to every believer severally, as the Spirit wills, to profit withal.

We believe in the imminent personal return of Jesus Christ with His saints who shall, at that time, deliver all creation from the bondage of corruption and establish the Kingdom of God on earth. The knowledge of His glory shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea and He shall rule all nations in righteousness with a rod of iron.

We believe that the Church, which is His body, is the ground and pillar of truth. We believe that all true believers are individually the members of the Body of Christ in particular and that together they comprise one Body, which is the Church.

We believe in world evangelism, Christian missionary work, Christian education, and the publication of Christian literature in keeping with the great commission that the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is to be preached to all nations.

Then shall the end come.

* 1 CORINTHIANS 12 (AMPLIFIED BIBLE CLASSIC EDITION - AMPC):
1 Now about the spiritual gifts (the special endowments of supernatural energy), brethren, I do not want you to be misinformed.
2 You know that when you were heathen, you were led off after idols that could not speak [habitually] as impulse directed and whenever the occasion might arise.
3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking under the power and influence of the [Holy] Spirit of God can [ever] say, Jesus be cursed! And no one can [really] say, Jesus is [my] Lord, except by and under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments (gifts, [a]extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians, due to the power of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit) and they vary, but the [Holy] Spirit remains the same.
5 And there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration, but it is the same Lord [Who is served].
6 And there are distinctive varieties of operation [of working to accomplish things], but it is the same God Who inspires and energizes them all in all.
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the [Holy] Spirit [the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit] for good and profit.
8 To one is given in and through the [Holy] Spirit [the power to speak] a message of wisdom, and to another [the power to express] a word of knowledge and understanding according to the same [Holy] Spirit;
9 To another [[b]wonder-working] faith by the same [Holy] Spirit, to another the extraordinary powers of healing by the one Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles, to another prophetic insight ([c]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose); to another the ability to discern and distinguish between [the utterances of true] spirits [and false ones], to another various kinds of [unknown] tongues, to another the ability to interpret [such] tongues.
11 All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses.
12 For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
13 For by [[d]means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and [e]by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit.
14 For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many.
15 If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body?
16 If the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where [would be the sense of] hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where [would be the sense of] smell?
18 But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation.
19 But if [the whole] were all a single organ, where would the body be?
20 And now there are [certainly] many limbs and organs, but a single body.
21 And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 But instead, there is [absolute] necessity for the parts of the body that are considered the more weak.
23 And those [parts] of the body which we consider rather ignoble are [the very parts] which we invest with additional honor, and our unseemly parts and those unsuitable for exposure are treated with seemliness (modesty and decorum),
24 Which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted (mingled, harmonized, and subtly proportioned the parts of) the whole body, giving the greater honor and richer endowment to the inferior parts which lack [apparent importance],
25 So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation [of the parts of the body to each other], but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another.
26 And if one member suffers, all the parts [share] the suffering; if one member is honored, all the members [share in] the enjoyment of it.
27 Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally and distinct [each with his own place and function].
28 So God has appointed some in the church [[f]for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues.
29 Are all apostles (special messengers)? Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)? Are all teachers? Do all have the power of performing miracles?
30 Do all possess extraordinary powers of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31 But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all—love].

* 1 CORINTHIANS 12 (KING JAMES VERSION - KJV)
1 ¶  Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2  Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3  Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4  Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5  And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6  And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7  But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8  For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9  To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10  To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11  But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
12 ¶  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14  For the body is not one member, but many.
15  If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16  And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17  If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18  But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19  And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20  But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21  And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22  Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23  And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24  For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
25  That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26  And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 ¶  Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29  Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30  Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31  But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
