14 Declarations of Faith
THESE WE
BELEIVE: 1. The
Holy Scriptures
- We believe the Bible is the Word of God, inerrant and inspired in its
original autographs, a complete and final revelation of God. ( 2 Tim
3:16-17) 2. The
Eternal Godhead
- We believe in one God, personal and knowable, who manifests Himself in
three Persons, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, Co-eternal in
being, Co-identical in nature, and Co-equal in power and glory, and
having the same attributes and perfection. (1Jn 5:7-8) 3. The
Fall of Man
- We believe that all people are sinners, and guilty before God,
deserving judgment, in need of a Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans
5:12) 4. The
Plan of Redemption
- We believe that because of God’s great love, He sent His only
begotten Son to die on the cross on our behalf, rose again from the
dead, ascended back to heaven, and will one day return to this earth
again. (John 3:16) 5.
Salvation Through Grace
- We believe that salvation from sin, death, and hell is by God’s
grace based on the finished work of Jesus Christ alone, and is received
by faith apart from any human performance or merit. (Eph.2:8-9) 6.
Repentance and Acceptance
- We believe that repentance of our sins and acceptance of the Son of
God as our Lord and Savior are sufficient for the atonement of sins
giving us the right to become children of God. (John 1:12) 7. New
Birth
- We believe that when we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our
lives we become “born-again” or we experience “new birth” which
is in effect a spiritual birth. (John 3:3) 8. Baptism
and the Lord’s Supper
- We believe that baptism by immersion in water is a public declaration
of our identification with Christ and His death, burial, and
resurrection. (Romans 6:3-4) We believe that the Lord’s Supper
proclaims the death of Christ and brings to mind the fellowship meals of
the risen Lord with His disciples. (1Cor.11:23-26;28) 9. Baptism
in the Holy Spirit
- We believe that Baptism in the Holy Ghost and Fire is a gift from God
as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this
dispensation, and is received subsequent to the New Birth. This
experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other
tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance. (Acts 2:4) 10. The
Gifts of the Spirit
- We believe that God gives Spiritual Gifts, and that all the gifts in
the New Testament are still available to the Church today. (1 Cor.
12:4-6; Gal. 5:22-23) 11. The
Second Coming
- We believe that Christ will return to this earth with power and
visible to all, and His return can be at anytime. (1 Thess. 4:16-17) 12. Tithes
and Offerings
- We believe that God has instructed every Christian to participate in
advancing His Kingdom by giving their tithes and offerings. (Mal.3:10) 13. Inner
Healing and Deliverance
- We believe that it is God’s will to heal our inner or emotional
wounds. We also believe that remorse over specific sins and the outright
renunciation of them are vital to our deliverance from any demonic
oppression. (Luke 4:18-19; Isaiah 61:1-2a; Acts 10:38) We believe that
healing is for physical ills of human body and is wrought by the power
of God through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands. It is
provided for in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every
member of the Church today. (James 5:14-15) 14. The Great Commission - We believe in evangelism, that winning individuals, families, and nations to God through the good news of Christ is the principal purpose of the Church. (Matthew 28:18; 24:14)
