#GraceAndGratitude

“Let's treat the world with with gentleness, with humility, with kindness. Remembering who we were, that we were one of them before, God calls us, and remembering who we are now, what God did for us. Everything that we are, we owe it to him, and our response should be one of what? Kindness and understanding because we know how they were before he called them. And and one of thankfulness to our god that while we were so dirty, while we were so detestable, his grace shone on us. God bless you.”

#RespectAuthority

“So we're commanded and have the responsibility as Christians to not only be subject to secular authority, but also to be obedient to that authority. As much as it hurts us, as much as we don't want to do it. There's only one exception to this command. Only one exception to this command. Is when the government demands us to do something contrary to God's word. That's where we draw the line. That is where we draw the line.”

#RedeemedByChrist

“When Christ came and he died for you and I on the cross, and he forgave our sins, and he gave us a new nature, and he put his spirit within us, Then that that disgusting picture, that ugly picture that I showed you before, made it disappear. And now we are what? We are beloved in him. All our sins have been forgiven, and we have been redeemed by his blood.”

What are its stated core beliefs?
Miami Bible Church states eight core beliefs:

- **The Bible:** It is verbally inspired, inerrant in the original documents, and wholly authoritative, infallible, and sufficient.
- **God:** There is one true God, eternally existing as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- **Jesus Christ:** He is divine; was born of a virgin and lived without sin; died as an atoning substitute; rose bodily, ascended to the Father, and will return.
- **The Holy Spirit:** He convicts, regenerates, indwells, sanctifies, instructs, empowers, and equips believers.
- **Salvation:** It is by God’s grace through faith in Christ, not human merit or works; believers are secure in Christ.
- **The Church:** All believers are united in Christ’s body, and the local church exists to glorify God, build up believers, observe the ordinances, and spread the gospel.
- **Sanctification:** Christians should live lives set apart to God.
- **End times:** There will be a final judgment and bodily resurrection of both the saved and unsaved, to eternal life or eternal damnation. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/what-we-teach)

What roles can women hold in church leadership?
The church website describes women serving and using their gifts in Women’s Ministry to encourage and edify others, lead or participate in Scripture study, build fellowship and accountability, and minister in the church and community. It does not specify which formal leadership offices women may hold. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/women)

The website identifies elders as responsible for spiritual oversight and shepherding, but it does not state whether women may serve as elders. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/mbc-servant-leadership)

What are its stated policies concerning LGBTQ people?
The available materials do not state a specific policy on LGBTQ people’s attendance, membership, or participation in church activities. The website’s statement of faith calls Christians to live in a way that is separated unto God, but does not address LGBTQ people specifically. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/what-we-teach)

In a sermon, we described gay and lesbian rights and same-sex marriage as part of a culture’s sinful practices, and criticized churches that accept or incorporate same-sex marriage. ([02:41 from November 11, 2026]) ([04:35 from November 11, 2026]) The sermon also calls for treating people with gentleness, humility, and kindness, and not slandering or fighting with those who disagree.

Who leads the church, and how are leaders accountable?
Miami Bible Church is led by its elders: David Diez is the elder/lead pastor-teacher, and Tony Gonzalez is an elder. Elders oversee the congregation’s spiritual care through teaching, guiding, counseling, and protecting. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/mbc-servant-leadership)

Leaders are to be guided by Scripture and to meet biblical standards of sound theology and character; Tony Gonzalez describes Titus’s charge to appoint elders who met those requirements. The website also says leaders should model Christlike character and equip the congregation for ministry. The sources provided do not describe a specific formal process for reviewing or disciplining leaders. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/ph1q) ([15:24 from November 11, 2026])

Teaching

Which recent sermons would help someone understand the teaching?
The closest match is **“Courageous Living in the Face of Hostile Opposition”** (Oct. 10, 2026; Daniel 3:1–30). It connects with Tony Gonzalez’s teaching that Christians obey governing authorities unless their commands conflict with Scripture. ([30:38 from November 11, 2026]) (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/sermons)

Also helpful is **“Courageous Living in the Face of Worldly Temptations”** (Oct. 10, 2026; Daniel 1:1–21), which pairs with the warning against accommodating the church’s beliefs to the surrounding culture. ([03:41 from November 11, 2026]) (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/sermons)

How does the church talk about sin, confession and forgiveness?
Miami Bible Church describes sin as a serious and pervasive condition: people are sinful and lost, alienated from God, and unable to do good on their own. It teaches that the Holy Spirit convicts people of sin, and that Christians should live set apart for God. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/ph1q; https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/what-we-teach)

In a sermon on Titus 3, the church describes people before Christ as foolish, disobedient, deceived, and enslaved to sinful desires. It also teaches that God saves people by grace—not because of good deeds—and that Christ’s death brings forgiveness and redemption. ([44:27 from November 11, 2026]) ([51:22 from November 11, 2026]) The sermon says that those forgiven are given a new nature and the Holy Spirit. ([51:22 from November 11, 2026]) The website likewise says salvation comes through a repentant sinner’s faith in Christ, not human merit or works. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/what-we-teach)

The materials provided don’t spell out a specific practice of confessing sin. They do refer to repentance in connection with salvation, and the website’s reference to “the confession of our hope” is about Christian hope, not a stated confession-of-sin practice.

How does the teaching approach community and honesty with others?
We approach community through regular worship, weekly Bible gatherings, and intentional one-to-one time—often sharing homes or meeting for coffee and opening our lives, struggles, and victories to one another. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/how-to-connect)

We also teach honesty in how we speak about others: don’t slander or damage someone’s reputation with unsupported accusations; if a charge isn’t well-founded, don’t repeat it. ([34:34 from November 11, 2026]) When explaining our faith, we should speak with gentleness and reverence and keep a good conscience. ([41:51 from November 11, 2026])

How does the church approach doubt and suffering?
The church’s stated approach to doubt is to return to Scripture, which it regards as authoritative and sufficient to guide people through life’s situations. The available material doesn’t give a detailed process for working through personal doubts, but a sermon also emphasizes that God’s Word changes hearts. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/ph1q) ([06:54 from November 11, 2026])

On suffering, we emphasize faithfulness to Christ: Paul counted the loss of all things as worthwhile for the sake of knowing Christ, and the apostles continued preaching after being jailed, insisting that they must obey God rather than people. ([10:01 from November 11, 2026]) ([27:08 from November 11, 2026]) ([30:38 from November 11, 2026])

How does the church approach faith and work?
The church sees faith as something believers live out through active service and godly conduct—not merely something practiced at church. It aims to equip members to use their spiritual gifts in the work of ministry, with each person participating rather than remaining a spectator. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/ph1q; https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/distin)

At work and in everyday relationships, we should be ready to carry out the tasks God gives us. That includes treating coworkers and neighbors without slander or needless conflict, and being gentle even when interactions are difficult.

Is an answer based on an official statement or an interpretation of sermons?
An answer drawn from the church’s **Statement of Faith** is based on an official doctrinal statement; an answer drawn from a sermon is an interpretation or application presented in that sermon. The website labels its doctrines “STATEMENT OF FAITH” and phrases them as “WE BELIEVE,” while it lists sermons separately as messages. (https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/what-we-teach; https://www.miamibiblechurch.org/sermons)

For example, the website officially states that believers should obey Scripture and that salvation is through Jesus Christ. A sermon’s discussion of when Christians should disobey government, by contrast, applies biblical passages to that issue; it should be described as the sermon’s teaching, not automatically as a separate official statement.

Who can answer a question the published information doesn't resolve?
The church’s pastor or elders would be the right people to ask. Our teaching describes Titus as a pastor responsible for organizing churches and appointing elders with sound theology. ([15:24 from November 11, 2026])
