WHAT WE BELIEVE
GOD
We believe there is one true, Holy God, eternally existing in three equal persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; Who created the Heavens and the Earth as a reference to the Holy Bible. The scriptures Genesis 1:1-2 being our ultimate reference:
King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born by the Virgin Mary, raised by Joseph of the House of David. Jesus Christ died on the cross as a ransom for all who trust and believe in Him, also bringing divine healing by the blood shed on the cross, and total substitute for sins of humanity. After the symbolic death on the cross, He rose from the dead with all power in His hands over death, sin, and hell and ascended to heaven to be seated at the right hand of the ultimate Father as the only Intercessor between God and all of humanity. The Scriptures Luke 1:30-33 being our ultimate reference:
King James Version (KJV)
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His name Jesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David:
33 And He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end.
THE HOLY BIBLE
We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of God, from God existing without error in its originality of writings, scriptures, and is the complete revelation of God's will for the salvation of men, and serves as the ultimate and final authority for the Christian faith. The scriptures John 1:1 is our ultimate reference:
King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the Holy Spirit and the works of the Holy Spirit sent from God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ; sent to comfort, teach, and sustain all believers in faith. The Scriptures John 14:26 being our ultimate reference:
King James Version (KJV)
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
SALVATION
We believe in the depths of salvation as a reference to the Holy Bible. The Scriptures Romans 10:9-10 being our ultimate sacrifice unto salvation:
King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
BAPTISM
We believe in Baptism being an outward expression of an inward conversion of faith and commitment of a new believer towards an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. The Scripture John 3:5 being our ultimate reference:
King James Version (KJV)
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
HOLY COMMUNION
We believe in the partaking of the Holy Communion as a relevant commandment of Jesus Christ unto every believer in remembrance of His death, burial, and resurrection, to perform until His return. The grape juice and bread being our symbolic way of partaking which serves as a health aide and strengthening among the body of believers. The scriptures Matthew 26:23-26; 30 being our ultimate reference:
King James Version (KJV)
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread:
24 And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me.
25 After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till He come.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
MARRIAGE
We believe in the state of union being between male and female (man born as a male and woman born as a female). The terminology for marriage identifying two joined together before the great Creator God, as husband and wife.
The scriptures Matthew 19:4-5 being our ultimate reference:
King James Version (KJV)
4 And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
FIVE FOLD MINISTRY
We believe in the operation of the 5-fold ministries (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) which are set forth in the body of Christ to equip chosen believers to do the work of ministry. The scriptures Ephesians 4:11-12 being our ultimate reference:
King James Version (KJV)
11 And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.
