What We Believe

 

 

Holy Bible

The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible, and inerrant (II Timothy 3:16II Peter 1:20-21Proverbs 30:5Romans 16:25-26).

Trinity

There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These Three are co-equal and co-eternal (I John 5:7Genesis 1:26Matthew 3:16-1728:19Luke 1:35Isaiah 9:6;Hebrews 3:7-11).

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second Person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind, and thus atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day, according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again one day in power and glory. (John 1:1,1420:28I Timothy 3:16Isaiah 9:6;Philippians 2:5-6I Timothy 2:5).

Virgin Birth

Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third Person of the Trinity) in the virgin Mary's womb; therefore, He is the Son of God (Matthew 1:1825Luke 1:35Isaiah 7:14;Matthew 1:1823-25Luke 1:27-35).

Redemption

Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-313:1-7Romans 5:12-21).

Regeneration

For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (John 6:4465).

Salvation

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts (Ephesians 2:8-9Galatians 2:163:8Titus 3:5Romans 10:9-10Acts 16:31Hebrews 9:22).

discipleship 

Discipleship is the development of the character of Christ. We believe in the importance of discipleship because it is the last command of Jesus Christ before He ascended in to heaven (Mathew 28:19).

REPENTANCE

Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation (Acts 2:213:19I John 1:9).

SANCTIFICATION

Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ's character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (I Thessalonians 4:35:23II Corinthians 3:18,6:14-18II Thessalonians 2:1-3Romans 8:2912:1-2Hebrews 2:11).

JESUS' BLOOD

The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to sacrificially cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness and our sins, enabling all those who believe on Him to be free from the penalty of sin, which is death (I John 1:7Revelation 1:55:9Colossians 1:20Romans 3:10-12235:9John 1:29).

JESUS CHRIST INDWELLS ALL BELIEVERS

Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to Him thus making Jesus the Lord of their life as well as Savior. They put their trust in what Jesus accomplished for them when He died, was buried, and rose again from the dead (John 1:12John 14:1723John 15:4Romans 8:11Revelation 3:20).

BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

Given initially at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus after His Ascension, to empower the Church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth (Joel 2:28-29Matthew 3:11Mark 16:17Acts 1:5,2:1-41738-398:14-1710:3844-4711:15-1719:1-6).

THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit manifests through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the Church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel. The biblical lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of biblical parameters. (Hebrews 2:4;Romans 1:11,12 :4-8Ephesians 4:16II Timothy 1:5-164:14I Corinthians 12:1-3114:1-40I Peter 4:10).

THE CHURCH

The Church is the Body of Christ, the Habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus' great commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the Church as a Member of the Body of Believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:222:19-22;Hebrews 12:23John 17:1120-23).

WATER BAPTISM

Following salvation by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19Acts 2:38).

THE LORD'S SUPPER

A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (i.e. the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are ingested in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross (Matthew 26:26-29Mark 16:16Acts 8:1236-3810:47-48I Corinthians 10:16,11:23-25).

HEALING OF THE SICK

Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus, and included in the commission of Jesus to His disciples. It is given as a sign, which is to follow believers. It is also a part of Jesus' work on the Cross and its delivery one of the gifts of the Spirit. (Psalm 103:2-3Isaiah 53:5Matthew 8:16-17Mark 16:17-18;Acts 8:6-7James 5:14-16I Corinthians 12:928Romans 11:29).

GOD'S WILL FOR PROVISION

It is the Father's will for believers to become whole, healthy, and successful in all areas of life. But because of The Fall (of mankind into sin), many may not receive the full benefits of God’s will while on Earth. That fact, though, should never prevent all believers from seeking the full benefits of Christ’s provision in order to better serve others. These provisions include:

RESURRECTION

Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on the cross. In addition, both the "saved" and the "lost" will be resurrected; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal damnation (Luke 24:163639;John 2:19-2120:26-2821:4Acts 24:15I Corinthians 15:4244Philippians 1:21-233:21).

HEAVEN

Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:31220,6:2019:2125:34John 17:24II Corinthians 5:1Hebrews 11:16I Peter 1:4).

HELL

After living one life on earth, unbelievers will each be judged by God and sent to Hell where they shall be eternally tormented by the Devil and the Fallen Angels (Matthew 25:41Mark 9:43-48Hebrews 9:27;Revelation 14:9-1120:12-1521:8).

SECOND COMING

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth to establish His Millennial Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures (Matthew 24:3026:63-64Acts 1:9-11I Thessalonians 4:15-17II Thessalonians 1:7-8Revelation 1:7).
