About The Bible-Based Life
from Good Portion Promises
Hi, I'm Heather, and I created "The Bible-Based Life" to help you learn, love, and live out God's Word. If you're not sure how to study the Bible or even where to begin then you're in the right place! It's my passion to help beginner Bible students grow in their knowledge of the Word of God and love for the God of the Word!

Our Beliefs
It is important to know the beliefs and background of any Christian teachings, sermons, books, and other resources that you use. There is so much out there that is at best watered-down, and at worst theologically incorrect or downright dangerous.
​
That is why I am glad you are making sure the resources offered from Good Portion Promises are theologically sound. I consider myself a Reformed Baptist and follow the major Reformed creeds and confessions such as the Nicene Creed and the London Baptist Confession.
The Nicene Creed
WE BELIEVE in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
