What we believe

 

Scripture

We believe the Bible to be given through supernatural inspiration, it is the only infallible, authoritative, written Word of God.

The Trinity

We believe that there is one God who is eternal and self-existent. God is eternally and equally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His absolute authority, His atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, His resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His return to the earth. We believe that salvation is in Christ alone.

Salvation

The Bible says that salvation is a free gift of God based on the work of Jesus Christ. We believe that all mankind everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ is necessary and results in regeneration and transformation by the Holy Spirit. We believe that the wages of sin is death and Christ has paid our debt in full by the shedding of His blood and His death on the cross.

Holy Spirit

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. We believe that an empowering work takes place within the baptism of the Holy Spirit and that God gives the gift of speaking in tongues, our spiritual language. We believe the Holy Spirit is presently active by leading the lost to Jesus Christ and empowering believers to continue the works of Jesus Christ on the earth. We believe the Holy Spirit sanctifies believers by enabling them to live a holy life while endowing them with supernatural gifts to display God’s love and power.

The Believer

We believe that mankind was created in God’s image and likeness. Salvation is full restoration to God’s original intent for creation. Since we are created in His image, we find our identity in who He is and as the believer discovers God’s nature and character, he/she discovers true self. We also believe that it is the general commission for every believer to carry on the works of Jesus Christ by being the expression of His love, grace, mercy, holiness, and power. The Bible also commissions every believer to be ambassadors of Christ for the express purpose of reconciling the world to God. We believe in the gifts and manifestations of the Spirit at work in the believer including: word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, healings, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, different kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues. Christ also gives every believer authority over demons and every evil work.

Resurrection

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15.
