2 Thessalonians 2:15
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions
which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle."
ANTE-NICENE
Harvest Christian holds to the teachings and traditions of the Early Church, the First Christians. The Word Ante-Nicene means the era or period before the council of Nicaea. In Nicaea 300 bishops joined with the Roman Government to reshape Christianity. It was during this time, traditions were changed, teachings were changed, and beliefs were forced on people. Harvest rejects all teachings and doctrines that were instituted by the council of the Nicaean period, and after, that conflict with the Bible and the teachings of Christ, the Apostles, and their immediate successors. Being Ante-Nicene means you hold to the teachings and traditions of the earliest Church and the First Christians. Harvest Christian is an Ante-Nicene Church.
