Statement of Faith
ONE GOD
There is one God revealed as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
JESUS THE SON
We believe in the Virgin Birth, The Begotten Sonship, and Deity of Jesus Christ; that He was 100% God and 100% man. Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit makes men aware of their need for Jesus Christ, and lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides us with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing right. The Holy Spirit baptism empowers the church to preach the gospel throughout the whole earth.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18; Galatians 5:25
THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God.
Timothy 3:16
HUMAN BEINGS
We are made in the image of God, as the supreme object of His creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”; this attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23, 5:12-13, 6:23; Isaiah 59:1-3
SALVATION
We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith.
Eph 2:8,9; Heb. 9:12,22; Romans 5:11
ETERNITY
People were created to exist forever, either in hell, where they will be eternally separated from God, or in heaven, where they will be eternally with God. John 3:16; John 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17-18; Revelation 20:15; 1 Cor. 2:7-9
THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit brings various gifts and enablement’s, and these gifts are valid and fully operative today. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures.
THE FIVE-FOLD MINISTRY
The callings of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers are functional within the body of Christ until the Lord’s return. The purpose of these gifts to the church is to equip believers for the work of ministry, that the body of Christ might be edified. 1 Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 4:11-12
BAPTISM & COMMUNION
The Word of God instructs the Church two ordinances of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The first is baptism, it is an outward sign of what God has already done in our lives and is a testimony to all, that we now belong to Jesus.
The Lord’s Supper is for the remembrance of the death of the Lord and the benefits He has bestowed on His children, we are do it in faith until He comes again; it is a sign of our participation in Him.
Both are restricted to those who are believers. Acts 10:48; 1 Cor. 11:26
DIVINE HEALING
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from demons and sickness is provided for in the atonement and is the privilege of all believers. Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16, 17; James 5:14-16
ESCHATOLOGY
We affirm the bodily, personal, second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the saints, the millennium, and the final judgment.
The final judgment will determine the eternal status of both the saints and the unbelievers, determined by their relationship to Jesus Christ. Believers await for the new heavens and the new earth as the Bible states.
1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52; Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:8; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21; Revelation 22
