Below is Cut and Paste from the “Doctrinal Statement” of the Maranatha Bible Society
http://maranathabiblesociety.org/doctrinal_statement
Note in the above, the sixth sentence:
“We believe that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
Ken Brandt (President of the Maranatha Bible Society) is referring to “The Gospel”, Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, chapter fifteen, verses three and four:
1 Cor 15:3-4
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
To illustrate what a stinking pile of religious shit (and those words are being kind) Ken Brandt is…call him up and ask him to site chapter and verse for “the scriptures”…he lives in Jonesville Michigan.
You will get the most absurd answer you have ever heard.

We believe in the absolute and eternal sovereignty of God over all his
creation.
We believe in the triune nature of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the total depravity of man. There is no means by which man
can justify himself before God without elective grace and the redemptive work of
Christ.
We hold, and defend, what is commonly known as "Calvinism" without the
obvious errors of Calvin, and other Reformers, as it is, in reality, Biblical
truth.
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who created all things, and was
God manifest in the flesh, and sacrificed himself for the sins of the world.
We believe that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and
that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the
scriptures.
We believe in Divine election and God's intervention in the lives if His
own, before, during, and after their conversion. That all true believers can
confidently rest in the saving, keeping, and continuing grace of God's elective
work.
We believe that God preserved His Word for us in the English language when
it was translated as the Authorized Version in 1611, which is now known as the
King James Version. We use the King James Version as the sole, complete, and
final authority on doctrine and practice. We believe that the King James Version
is the word of truth - the Word of God.
We believe that the Bible is about God's plan for two chosen groups of
people: the children of Israel, and the church which is His Body.
We believe that the word of truth must be studied and rightly divided;
especially as to what is to Israel, and what is to the church.
We believe that the Bible is a book of progressive revelations and is
complete within itself. There are no new doctrinal revelations outside the Holy
Scriptures.
We believe God has progressively revealed Himself from the
beginning of the Bible to the end of it.
We believe the risen Lord progressively revealed to the apostle Paul
doctrinal changes and doctrinal mysteries that pertain to the church, which is
His Body.
We believe that the apostle Paul is the appointed authority, apostle,
preacher, and teacher to the church. We believe the church which is His Body,
began when it was revealed to the apostle Paul after the close of the Acts
period.
