Who We Are | HLOG Church

Brother & Pastor Max Antoine

I am native to Haiti and came to the U.S at the age of 12. When I came to the U.S., I attended church with my aunt and uncle who were of the Jehovah Witnesses faith. I was raised in that particular belief and practiced it until my late teenage years. It was at that time that I really wasn't interested in practicing the JW faith and became alienated from it altogether. Although, I was not born again as a JW, I did learn some good values, morals, things that kept him from indulging in sin in my younger years, but when I gave up the JW, I lived life my way, which was not a life pleasing to God.

In 2007 a co-worker witnessed to me and asked if I wanted to accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour and I did. I purchased a bible, began attending Church, but soon after I fell away. I went back to living a sinner's life for five years and in 2012 I fully surrendered my life to Jesus, got baptized (full immersion), and have been active in the Kingdom ever since.

My wife and daughter were born again in 2010 and I saw how God transformed my wife, especially. It took two years later for me to really commit to God, but I did.

I have been married to my God fearing faithful wife of 21 years. Together we have our beautiful gift from God, our daughter, Snaux.

I am a Haiti Native. I came to the U.S. at the age of 12. I attended church with my aunt and uncle, who were Jehovah's Witnesses. I too practiced that same faith for many years as a young child. Although I was not born again, there were many good morals and values that kept me grounded as a youth.

When I was in my late teenage years, I uprooted myself from the JW faith and decided to live life my way and it was not pleasing to God. In 2007, a co-worker witnessed to me and asked me if I wanted to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and I did. I purchased a bible, attempted to go to church and tried to live a good life, but I fell back into the world and into the hands of the enemy for five years.

In 2010, my wife and daughter were born again. It took me two years after their conversion to get right with God. In 2012, I was born again, baptized (full immersion), and have been going strong in the Lord since. My wife's testimony and transformation helped propel me.

So, it took me 42 years to surrender my life wholly and completely to God. I was truly born again in 2012.

I have been married to my bride and God-fearing wife, Becky, for 21 years. Our union has produced our beautiful daughter, Snaux.

Non 501-C Minisry

King James Bible

We use the KJB. We do not believe that other versions of the Bible are accurate, are missing scriptures, and watered down.

STATEMENT OF BELIEFS-

Our belief is simple and nothing complex. We believe in everything written in the scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation. We believe in the Holy Bible and more importantly in the King James version of the bible.

Bible

We believe that the entire Bible is inspired of God, is without error and is the final authority for our faith and practice (II Tim. 3:16, (II Tim. 3:16 II Peter 1:21). We believe that the Bible has been preserved and exists today for English speaking people in the King James Bible, (Psalm 12:6-7; 119:89).

Jesus

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man (Luke 1:35; Romans 1:3-4; Philippians 2:6-9).

One God

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5); Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord (Deuteronomy 6:4); Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. (Isaiah 44:6). Eph. 4:4-6, I John 5:7

Eternal Life

We believe in the eternal security of the true believer (Romans 8:29-34; 38-39; Eph. 1:13-14; Philippians 1:6) and the eternal damnation of the lost –unbeliever’s (Romans 2:1-11; Eph. 5:6; II Thess. 1:7-9; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8).

Ordinances

We believe their are two ordinances to be kept amongst believer's. Baptism and the Lord's supper. We keep, the Lord's Supper (not breakfast) (1 Corinthians 11:24-32), and Baptism (full immersion, not infant). Baptism is according to Acts 2:38- Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Body of Christ

We believe in the edification of the Body Of Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:7-31, Ephesians 4:11-12)

God Has Not Changed

We believe that God is the same and has not changed. (Hebrew 13:8)

We acknowledge that our beliefs do not exhaust the content of our faith, however, we believe this list distinguishes some basic truths which are commonly disregarded by many churches today.
