Statement Of Faith
What we Believe In
1. The entire Bible being the inspired
Word of God, as written by inspiration of The Holy men of God.
(2 Peter 1:21) And that "all
scriptures is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable, for reproof,
for
correction, for
instruction in righteousness; That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto
all good works."
(2 Tim. 3:15-17)
2. One God, in three persons, God
the Father, God the Son God, the Holy Spirit, As introduced in
Genesis 1:1, the word God, being plural
(Elohim). In the New Testament Jesus said He would ask
the Father and He would send the Spirit
and that He would guide you in all truth. (John 14:26)
3. Man is a created being, made in the
likeness and image of God (Gen. 1:26-27), but through Adam's
transgressions and fall, sin has entered
into the world (Rom. 5:12) "For all have sinned
and come short of
the Glory of
God." (Rom. 3:23) "As it is written,
there in none righteous, no not one" (Rom. 3:10) Jesus Christ,
the Son of God, was manifested to undo
the works of the devil, and Salvation is obtained through the shed
blood of Christ Jesus who through the
Eternal Spirit offered Himself, without spot to God. (Heb. 9:14) You
must believe in your heart and confess
with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in the resurrection,
and thou shalt be saved. (Rom. 10:9-10)
4. Water Baptism by immersion, and that
baptism is a direct commandment of our Lord. (Acts 2:41;8:37) That
Baptism is a symbol of Christian identification
with Christ, His death, burial, and resurrection. (1 Peter 3:21;
Rom. 6:4-5), The Only Water Baptism we
believe is in the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of the
Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19-20) We also
believe in a total submersion of the Spirit, taking on the characteristics
of the Spirit after receiving the Baptism
(greek Baptos) of the Spirit.
5. The in filling of the Spirit of God
according to the book of Acts, and the endowment of power after the
Spirit comes upon you, to go into all
the world and preach the Gospel with signs and wonders to follow those
that believe, And in the Baptism of the
Holy Spirit.(Acts 2:4;10:44-46) And in the full operation of the gifts
of
the Spirit, and these gifts are all worked
by the same Spirit all in all as He wills (1 Cor. 12:4-11)
6. Healing and the deliverance of God.
(James 5:14) The power of God to perform the miraculous casting out
of demon power, and victorious Christian
living. (Mark 16:17-18) Living in the abundance and the blessing of
God according to obedience to the Word
of God. We are the head and not the tail, the lender, not the
borrower.
7. That when Christ died he set into place,
"apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers for the
equipping of the saints, for the working
of the ministry, and for the edifying of the body of Christ, until we all
come into the unity of faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to measure of the
stature of the fullness of Christ." (Eph.
4:11-13) That all are called, as in the great commission to "Go
ye
therefore..."
(Matt. 28:19)
8. The Holy Communion is to be taken, and
that it is to be observed in remembrance of the shed blood on
Calvary and Christ's body which was crucified
for our sins and that spiritually you are partaking of the blood
of Christ and His body. (Matt. 26:28)
And following communion we should lift up praises and hymns unto
Christ (Matt. 26:30;Mark 14:26)
9. In preaching and teaching the entire
word of God, not taking away, nor adding to the word of God. (Rev.
22:18-19)
10. That all Christians, including ministers,
should pay tithes into the stockhouse, and that all church
members should pay their tithes into the
church where they are getting Spiritually fed. And that all ministries
should tithe into the general headquarters,
where they are getting their Spiritual helps and covering. (Mal.
3:8-11)
11. The second coming of Christ establishing
His Kingdom and reign upon this earth and for those who have
received Him to spend eternity with Him.
And for His judgement to be absolute and sovereign (Revelation)
