What Do We
Believe?
Do
You Know Jesus?
Prayer of
Salvation
Inspiration
of Scriptures:
We
believe all
scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is therefore the
infallible Word of God, in so far as it is correctly translated from
the original writings. II Timothy
3:16, II Peter 1:21
The
Godhead:
We believe there is one living,
true, eternal and everlasting God of infinite power, wisdom, and
goodness, the Maker and Preserver of all things, visible and invisible.
This one true and everlasting God is preeminent in this world as the
Holy Spirit is poured out upon all flesh in this dispensation. This one
true and everlasting God was eminent in His creation as Emmanuel, Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, the supreme sacrifice for the sins of the
world. We believe that no man can come to the Father but by and through
the Lord Jesus Christ, and His shed blood. John 1:1, 14 & 18,
John 14:6-11
Judgment
on Adam and the Whole Human Family:
We believe all mankind became
sinners as a result of the fall of Adam. Romans. 5:12, Romans 3:28, I
Corinthians 15:22-23
Repentance:
We believe
in repentance toward God and confession of our sins; a definite turning
from them is essential to salvation. John 24:27
Water Baptism:
We believe in water baptism for
believers by immersion, as taught in the scripture, and as practiced by
the early church. Acts 2:38, Acts 8:16, Acts 10:48, Acts 19:5, Romans
6:3-6
Baptism of the Holy Spirit:
We believe in the baptism of
the Holy Spirit accompanied by the evidence of speaking in other
tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and that it is the endowment of
spiritual power for Christian living and service, and it will enable
the believer to manifest the gifts of the Spirit as outlined in: I
Corinthians 12 & 14, Luke 24:29, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4, Acts
10:44-46, Acts 19:1-6.
Divine
Healing:
We believe God is still the
Healer of His people, and that the Church should recognize and practice
this ministry, as directed by the Lord Himself and practiced by His
Apostles and disciples. Exodus 15:26, Isaiah 53:5, Mark 16:18, James
5:14-15, Hebrews 13:8
The
Lord’s Supper or Communion:
We believe that all followers
of Christ should partake of the Sacrament of the Lord’s
Supper in remembrance of His death until He comes again. Luke 22:19-20,
Matthew 26:29, I Corinthians 11:23-24
The Gifts
of the Spirit:
We believe that the nine gifts
of the Spirit should be manifest in the Church today, and that all
Spirit-filled believers should earnestly covet the best gifts for the
edification and building up of the Church. I Corinthians 12:8-11, I
Corinthians 14:1
The Fivefold Ministry:
We believe that God has set in
the Body of Christ Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and
Teachers. Their offices are gifts from God, placed in the Church,
filled by people who are to fully equip the people of God for the work
of the ministry, the unification of the Body in faith until it is
complete in Christ. Ephesians 4:11-6
The Fruit of the Spirit and
Godly Living:
We believe all Spirit-filled
believers should produce the fruit of the Spirit in their lives, and
their walk should be according to godliness and holy living. Galatians
5:22-23, I John 2:6, I Peter 1:16, Titus 2:11-3, II Corinthians 7:1
Giving:
We believe that all those in
the Church of Jesus Christ should support the work of the ministry with
tithes and offerings. Mal.3:8-12, Luke 6:38, Luke 11:42, Acts 20:35, II
Corinthians 9:7, Hebrews 7:1-10
The Second Coming of Christ:
We believe that the Lord Jesus
Christ will return in person to Earth for the purpose of translating
His Church at a point in time designated by God. John 14:1-3
The Final
Judgment:
We believe that there will be a
final judgment as recorded in the Word of God. Hebrews 9:27, Revelation
20:11-15
