His Ministry Through Us
Statement Of Faith
1. We believe that God
is One and distinctly Three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the
Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 6:4, 1 John 5:7, 1 Peter 1:2
2. We Believe in the
deity of Jesus Christ. Christ the anointed one is all God and all man.
Hebrews 1:8, Hebrews 10:12
3. We believe in
salvation by faith. We are a new creation in Christ Jesus. With salvation
comes the ability to produce and express the fruits of the Spirit. Romans
10:9-10, 13, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Galatians 5:22-23
4. We believe in
baptism by water as a testimony of salvation and that it is symbolic of
being buried with Christ in His death and raised with Him from the dead.
Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12
5. We believe in the
baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. This is
a separate and distinct experience from salvation. With the baptism of the
Holy Spirit comes a prayer language and the ability of the mature believer
to exercise the gifts of the Spirit at the will of God. Mark 16:17,
Acts 2:4, 11, Acts 10:46, Acts 19:6, 1 Corinthians 12:4-10, John 3:34
6. We believe in
observing the Passover commonly called The Lord's Supper. His body was
broken for us and His blood was spilled for us and this sacrament
commemorates this covenant of blood. This is His covenant with us and us
with Him; it also speaks of His return. Luke 22:13-20, 1 Corinthians
11:23-31
7. We believe that all
scripture was written by men of old by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. By
the unction of the Holy Spirit we are to rightly divide the Word of God and
the Word is final authority in all matters. 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 John 2:20, 2
Peter 1:21, 2 Timothy 2:15
8. We believe in
healing the sick, raising the dead and casting out devils. John 14:12,
Matthew 10:8, Matthew 11:5
9. We believe in the
authority of the believer. Original sin gave Satan and his angelic hosts
authority in the earth by the consent of man. In the redemption bought by
the blood of Christ Jesus the authority of the children of god is restored.
All of creation is waiting for us to take our place. Genesis 3:6, 2
Corinthians 4:4, Ephesians 2:2, 4-6, Romans 8:19
