If you choose to look up the verses, the links will take you to a
comprehensive and exhaustive concordance and dictionary compliments of
www.BlueLetterBible.org.
We've
included the entirety of the pages found on this excellent online reference,
because it's important - when you study scripture - to read what comes before
and after, so that you can grasp the
meaning behind why the text was written, and in what context it is referred to.
It's very dangerous to just pick and choose those verses that you think apply to
you. This is how the door of deception is opened to those infamous angels
of Light. To avoid that, simply study the Word, and show yourself approved
unto God, rightly dividing the Word, as scripture commands, (2
Timothy 2:15)
<><
ABOUT THE AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE
<><
We believe that the Bible is God’s
revelation to everyone. It is the inspired Word of God. The sixty-six books of
the Old and New Testaments constitute the Holy Bible.
(2
Timothy 3:16-17)
<><
ABOUT
THE ONE TRUE GOD
<><
We believe in one living true God, eternal and of
infinite knowledge, wisdom and power. He is a loving, faithful God, who is the
creator and preserver of all things. The one true God has always existed in
three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
(John
17:3,
Genesis 1:1,
2 Corinthians 13:14)
<><
ABOUT THE SON OF GOD
<><
We believe in the divine nature of Jesus Christ, God’s only Son. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He was empowered by the Holy Spirit to minister. He lived a sinless life and through His death, burial and resurrection, provided forgiveness of sin. He defeated Satan and sin, having disarmed his
ruler ship.
(1 Corinthians 15:3-4,
Colossians 2:15)
<><
ABOUT THE FALL OF MAN
<><
We believe man was created good and upright in the image of God. Because of Adam’s sin, man inherited a corrupt nature given to sinful behavior. Man is therefore separated from God and spiritually dead, without Christ. Every person has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
(Genesis 1:27,
Romans 3:23)
<><
ABOUT SALVATION
<><
We believe that salvation is through Jesus Christ. Salvation is obtained by His grace and not by works. Salvation is for the whole person, which includes forgiveness of sin, deliverance from bondage, healing from sickness, and redemption from the curse of the law. Through Jesus, the blessing of Abraham comes on us. We receive Jesus by confessing with our mouth and believing in our heart that God raised Jesus from the dead.
(Ephesians 2:8-10,
Galatians 3:13-14,
Romans 10:8-10)
<><
ABOUT THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
<><
We believe that every believer can experience the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Subsequent to salvation, the believer is endued with power with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.
(Acts 2:4,
Acts 1:8)
<><
ABOUT THE EVANGELISTIC MISSION OF THE CHURCH
<><
We believe the mission of the church is to continue the ministry of Jesus on the earth. He came to seek and to save those who are lost. He has given us the gospel in order to reach the world for Christ. World missions are a vital ministry of this church.
(Luke 19:10,
Matthew 28:19-20)
<><
ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS FOR MINISTRY
<><
We believe that spiritual gifts are given to every believer for the purpose of strengthening and extending the work of God. The leadership of the church is to equip the congregation for ministry. The unity of love is at the heart of all ministry.
(Romans 12:5-8,
Ephesians 4:11-16,
Ephesians 4:3)
<><
ABOUT HEALING
<><
We believe that Jesus provided physical healing for us when He died on the cross, as well as providing deliverance from guilt and sin. The devil is the author of disease and sickness. It is God’s will to heal the sick through the prayer of faith spoken in the name of Jesus.
(Isaiah 53:4-5,
Matthew 8:17,
1 Peter 2:24,
James 5:15)

We believe that the heaven and earth will be cleansed from every stain of sin. God will create a new heaven and a new earth.

Isaiah 65:17,

ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT TRUTH IN THE BIBLE

We believe that the most important command in scripture is to love God with all our hearts and others as ourselves. By love shall all men know that we are His disciples.
