What are we? What do we believe? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Statement of faith and doctrine | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
...We believe in one true God. Eternally manifested as a triune being; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. (Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 43:11, Matthew 28:19) ...We believe that the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God - God breathed. (2 Timothy 3:15-17) ...We believe in the Diety of Jesus Christ, that He is the eternal Son of God and shares in the diety of God. (Matther 1:23) ...We believe in original sin and the fall of man. That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost before salvation. (Genesis 1:3) ...We believe in salvation by faith. That man's salvation and redemption is a free gift of grace from God and can only be obtained by exercising faith, not works, in the person and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9) ...We believe in the new birth in Christ. That if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation in the inward man. We are His workmanship in Christ Jesus. (2 Cor 5:17, Ephesians 2:10) ...We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. That this experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth and is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. (Acts 1:8, 2:4) ...We believe in divine healing. That the atoning work of Jesus Christ provided not only salvation, but healing and prosperity as well for the spirit, soul, and body. (Matthew 8:16-17, 2 Corinthians 8:9) ...We believe in the Church being the Body of Christ. That the true Church is composed of all those that have been born again. Through the new birth, believers are united together as the Body of Christ, Jesus Christ is the Lord and the Head of the Church. (Ephesians 1:22-23) ...We believe in the ordinance of water baptism. That all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior and have been born again are commanded to be immersed in water as a declaration that they identify with the death of Christ and have been raised with Him in newness of life as with His ressurection from the dead. (Mark 16:16) ...We believe in Communion or the Lord's supper. It is a symbolic expression of our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ. A memorial of His suffering, death for us, resurrection, and prophecy of His second coming. (1 Corinthians 11: 23-30) ...We believe in the resurrection of the saints. That one day coming, the entire Body of Christ will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) ...We believe in the second coming of Christ. The actual, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to establish His Kingdom and millennial reign upon the earth. (Matthew 24:27-30) |

Maybe you are just now realizing that Jesus is the road less travelled that makes all the difference. Maybe you are just now realizing that you need to make Him the Lord of your life so that you can get both feet on the path to Overcoming Adversity and Re-establishing God's Will for your life. Why don't you do what you know you need to do and pray this prayer out loud - faith comes by hearing: Dear God, I accept that you sent Your Son Jesus to die on the cross to save me from the law of sin and death with the law of life that is in Him. I accept that He didn't stay dead, but rose to eternal life with you which is what I want to have. I accept that He paid the full price for my sins by shedding His blood and sicknesses and redeemed me from the hand of the enemy and from the curse of the law. I recieve Jesus as the personal Lord and Savior of my whole life and I receive the eternal abundant life that He obtained for me. I receive the Holy Spirit to teach me, guide me, and empower me to walk in Your path and do Your will and Your work in this world. I receive the fullness of God for my life now and choose to serve You better than I ever served the devil and I know that You are going to help me. I receive the people that You are going to put in my life to help me grow in the knowledge of You, and be accountable. I thank You and praise You for Your goodness and mercy that follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever as I am now Your temple in which You dwell. I will find a church that teaches your Word and be baptized to outwardly show my resurrection from the old me and my decision to be Your child. Let everyone see Jesus in me to Your glory. |
