Living Streams Christian ChurchA Spirit Filled Bible Believing, Preaching Church!!
Pastor Bob & Melanie Tarasiak welcome you in truth and Spirit to come
worship and grow in God's Word with us as we fellowship and reach higher levels with the Lord,
Jesus Christ!
Dedicated to spreading the Word of eternal salvation through Jesus Christ!
"For it is by grace you have been saved through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift from God-not by works, so that no one can boast." Eph. 2: 8,9
By Grace (a gift) we are Saved by Faith! Words to live by. Where are you in your life right now?
This site is created for you! So all Gods children can see and understand the truth through the Holy bible and be able to walk in righteousness!
And best of all it is by Gods grace!! Salvation is a FREE GIFT!
You do not have to earn it! Just accept Jesus Christ in your heart as Lord and Savior!
Read the following scripture verses which was written by John who witnessed the power of Jesus Christ:
John 14:6 "I am the way, the Truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father, except by me" - Jesus
also,
John 3: 3 "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God". - Jesus
And,
John 2: 24 "I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death to life" - Jesus
Notice: These are not my opinions but what Jesus Christ tells us we must do to truly have peace and eternal life!
I am a new Saved Christian only since March 2000! Previously I was a Roman Catholic who was being mislead by doctrines, traditions, and man made rituals based on pagan beliefs dating back to the Roman Emperor Constantine! Of course to be saved as a Catholic as other denominations, I was taught by going to Church, doing good works, and receiving all the seven sacraments, then I would maybe make to heaven and possibly spend time in purgatory like a prisoner to make up for sins I may have committed. But during my 39 years as a Catholic, I would become drunk, have sexual affairs with many women, abusing myself, and then go to Church on Sunday thinking that Catholicism would make all be better!! What a Hypocrite I was!!! Let me make one thing clear, I am not condemning Catholicism, but only sharing the experiences I received and seen directly. I am sure there are true "saved" Christians in Catholicism.
According to our lord Jesus, He does not like hypocrisy! A person cannot serve two masters per scripture, it is either God or Satan, there is no in between. I would have been no better if I committed murder! God wants people to place their focus on Him!
Do NOT be deceived by false Priests, prophets, Psychics, even false pastors "claiming" to be Christian! Let's look at what God's Word says:
Jesus said,
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." (Mat. 7:15). On the outside the "walk the walk and talk the talk," but on the inside their heart is not of Christ and their works will be tested and eventually the truth will come out in the long run. Also Christ said, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." (Mat. 7:20). Doesn't this sound familiar? Just read the paper or listen to the daily news concerning the Roman Catholic Crisis concerning pedaphiles, homosexuality! You see, the true "fruits" of their labor has come out! Will you trust your children with these Priests? False Prophets? Satan's workers? I sure will NOT! I will only trust God and what Scripture tells me.
Where is your focus? I hope not on Earthly things that you can't take with you when you leave this earth!
I remember a co-worker while I was in the Air Force asking me in approximately 1992, "Did you accept Jesus in your heart and ask Him to be your personal Lord and Savior?" And my reply was "Oh, I am Catholic, I am good to go!" WOW!! Was I wrong! It took me ten years until I finally OPENED God's word in the Bible to find the Truth last March 2000!
There are so many different Catholic doctrines that they follow that are just NOT in the Bible. I do pray that many more people like you who read this site take the effort to investigate God's word in the Bible and read for yourselves! Don't take my word on it.
As for myself, the Word of God, especially the New Testament, is written by the Apostles whom were eye witnesses to Jesus and what He said!! Now I personally trust
the word of God more than the Catholic traditions of man which came much later than when the Bible was written. As I researched the Catholic Vatican Council I and II documents,
Catechism, and the Council of Trent, more of mans traditions were manifested and eventually passed down to unsaved Christians whom were being told that salvation is through the Catholic Church and only through the Catholic Church!! If this is true, than the rest of the whole world who believe in Christ and accepts Him will then go to Hell? I can not even conceive this! What Lies! I am sorry for all the Catholics and other
denominations who are held in tact to the controlling and manipulating religious
hierarchy and do not see the Truth!! Again I am experienced as a Catholic for 39 years, so I speak mainly toward them, BUT I am writing to all "RELIGIONS" that are "Salvation by works" i.e.
Mormons, Roman Catholics, Buddhists, etc..
To everyone in the world, I love you all and want the Holy Spirit to come into your heart and bring you all to know Jesus in a personal way! To talk to Him directly; Not through the Pope, a Catholic Priest, Buddha, Muhamid,etc., or Holy Mary!! Yes Mary is the Mother of Jesus! I do love her also! But there is only one mediator between God and Man and that is Jesus Christ! Jesus is the one who hears your prayers, not Mary!!!
So please READ THE BIBLE AND the Truth will set you FREE!!!!!!! Where is your F.A.I.T.H.? Forsaking All I Trust Him = FAITH
Again I quote Jesus in what He
said and is recorded in John 14:6, "I am the way, the Truth, and the life.
NO ONE comes to the Father, except through me." -Jesus

Everyone is a sinner and is separate from God.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23
God loved us all so much that He gave His son to die for us.
"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8.
Death means separation forever from God. Eternal life comes by trusting Jesus Christ.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
In order to begin your new life in Christ (be saved), you must believe that Jesus Died for your sins and declare that you accept Him as savior.
"If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
This IS God's PROMISE TO YOU-If you accept Jesus, He will accept you.
"For, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ACCEPT JESUS NOW, PRAY THE FOLLOWING PRAYER:
Dear God, I know I have sinned and I want to ask for your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died for my sins. I now accept your offer of eternal life. I will follow Jesus as my Lord and Savior and try to obey Him in all I do. Thank you for my new Life. In the name of Jesus I pray. AMEN!
Congratulations!!! This is how simple it is! Do not be deceived by
"religion of man" or Man's wisdom which only wants you to earn it and
work for it. Why? Because Satan wants to minipultae and keep you away from the
"Truth" found only through Jesus Christ!
Grow! Learn! Read His words in the Bible daily.
Start with the Gospels specifically in the Gospel of John. Read what Christ said
in all of these matters concerning our lives here on earth and after.
All the answers to all your questions are in His Words.
By Daily Prayer! We talk to God through Jesus Christ. He is the only intercessor/mediator to God the
Father!
If we pray to Jesus, he will answer your valid prayers and help you take new
steps with God!
Don't wait any longer! Accept Jesus now in your heart! And you will see
incredible changes in your life!!
Love is the answer! I love you all in Christ's name!
