Remember them that had the

Bishop H.E. Honea

1939-2009

rule over you, men that spake

unto you the word of God; and
considering the issue of their life,
imitate their faith Heb 13:7
Bishop H.E. Honea was a man of
deep, abiding faith in God and
love for people. He went home to
be with the Lord on June 10,
2009 leaving behind an impressive legacy of life and ministry.
Born Oct. 30, 1939. He was saved

and called to preach in April

1953, filled with the Holy Ghost
in 1955 and baptized in Name of
Jesus Christ in 1958. He preached
in 32 states, 3 foreign countries
and pastored in 4 states. Ordained Bishop in 1965, Bishop
Honea ordained 120 ministers
and 32 surrendered to preach
under his ministry. Bishop Honea
pastored the Tullahoma Church
for 46 years and founded the First

Church of Jesus Christ Organization in 1965, and the Banner of

Love in 1966. He will be remembered as a tenderhearted, loving
and forgiving man of faith whose
life passion was the Kingdom of
God. We do well to follow his
example.

In the One True and Living God who has manifested himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Dt 6:4; Mt 28:19, Jn8:24)

F IRST C HURCH OF
J ESUS C HRIST

The Bible alone is the inspired, inerrant and infallible Word of God, our only guide to faith and conduct. (II Tim 3:16; II Pe 1:20-21)
Created in the image and likeness of God, man was given authority and dominion over all creation. Through Adams transgression, sin
and death entered into the world, man's righteousness was lost and his authority and dominion was handed over to the devil. (Ge1:26-28;
Ro 5:12; Lk 4:5-6)
Because of his great love for us, God took upon himself the form of man and came to our aid. Thus, Jesus Christ, the only begotten
Son of God-truly God, truly man-was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of a virgin, was crucified, died and was buried.

One WorldOne Word

(Jn 3:16; Is 7:14; Jn 1:1-3; Jn 8:29; Acts 2:36; I Co 15:3,4)

This same Jesus defeated Satan and all the powers of darkness, taking from them the keys of death and hell, and overcoming death
itself, resurrected from the grave. No longer the only begotten Son, He arose the First-born from the dead, the First-born of a New
Creation and First--born of many brethren. (Rev 1:5,18; Col 1:15-18 )
Jesus ascended into heaven, giving gifts to men. Now seated at the right hand of the Father, making intercession for us all, He has sent
forth his Spirit to indwell and empower believers. (Mk 16:19; Eph 4:8-11; Acts 2:33; Jn 16:7)
As the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life. You must be born again of water and the Spirit,
receiving Him as Lord and Savior, in order to see the Kingdom of God. The righteousness, authority and dominion, lost by Adam in the
Garden of Eden, is now restored In Christ. (Jn 3:5; Acts 2:38; I Tim 6:15; Jn 14:6; Jn 3:3; II Co 5:17,21)
Water baptism is by immersion in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, in obedience to the direct command of the Word
of God. In this ordinance, we are identified with our Lord in his death, burial and resurrection. (Mk 16:15,16; Acts 2:38; 8:12; 10:48;
19:5; 22:16)

His promise to baptize believers with the Holy Ghost and fire. According to the scriptures and the experience of history, this is accompanied with the evidence of signs and wonders including speaking with other tongues, boldness to witness and ability to declare His Word
in the demonstration of the Spirit and power. (Mt 3:11; Acts 1:4,5,8; Acts 2:4,38; Acts 4:31, I Co 2:4)
All of the gifts of the spirit are functional in the church today, available to all believers. (I Co 12:1-12)
In sanctification through the Word of God by the Holy Ghost, personal holiness and purity of heart and life. (Jn 15:3; I Th 4:3-4; I Pe
1:15)

WE RE

The substitutionary atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ paid not only for the salvation of our spirits but also for the healing of our
bodies. Thus, divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus, is included in our redemption. Believers will lay hands on the sick and
they shall recover.
(Is 53:4-5; I Pe 2:24: Mt 8:17; Mark 16:15)

ON THE WEB

In the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the eternal joy of the saved and the eternal punishment of the
lost.
(I Th 4:14-18; Acts 1:9-11; Mt 25:31-46;)
As believers we have been given a universal commission to go into the entire world and preach the Gospel making disciples of all
nations. (Mk 16:15-20; Mt 28:18-20; Lk 24:47-49; Acts 1:8)

FCJC.NET

God has set in his church, the five-fold ministry gifts of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers, for the purpose of
equipping of the saints. These anointed believers in turn carry out the work of ministry, thus building up the Body of Christ. (Eph 4:1016)
