Grammar... is it right?

I'm not sure if these two sentences are grammatically right:

1. You believe in God, you have to submit to God; you believe in God, you must practice the truth.

2. The Holy Spirit began to do the work of Jesus Christ centered on the name of Jesus.

Also, sentence 2 should mean something like, The Holy Spirit began to do the work of Jesus Christ with the name of Jesus at the center. Could these also be some alternative ways to say it: The Holy Spirit began to do the work of Jesus Christ centering on the name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit, centered on the name of Jesus Christ, began to do the work of Jesus Christ. Which way is best to express these two sentences?

  • Why don't you just keep it as simple, separate sentences, eg You believe in ***.
