(Psalms 46:4)  There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

 

WE FIRMLY BELIEVE

 

GOD IS VERY MUCH AVAILABLE

CALL ON HIM

His Phone # is  Jerimiah 33:3

 

*       In the Divine Inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. (II Tim 3:6)

 

*       In the existence of one true God who has revealed Himself to this world as the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit though the person of Jesus Christ. (John 1:1-14; Heb 1:1-2)

 

*       In the Only Savior of men; the LORD Jesus Christ conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary; the living God and a real man (I Tim 3:5, Matt 1:22-23)

 

*       In the creation, test, and fall of man as recorded in Genesis.

 

*       Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” However, by voluntary transgression and wilful disobedience fell and thereby incurred not only physical death; but spiritual death, which is separation from God.  (Genesis 1:26,27;2:17;3:6; Rom 5:12-19)

 

*       In the gospel of grace of God how that Christ was crucified and died for our sins, was buried and on the third day rose again for the justification of mankind (Hebrews 9:28)

 

*       In the salvation of sinners by grace alone, through faith in the perfect and sufficient work of Christ on our behalf, upon the cross of Calvary. (Eph 2:8-9)

 

*       Man’s only hope for redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

 

The Conditions of Salvation

 

Salvation is received through repentance towards God and faith towards the LORD Jesus Christ our High Priest. By the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life.

 

(Luke 24:46,47; John 3:3; Romans 10:9,10; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7)

 

The inward evidence is the direct witness of the Spirit.

 

(Romans 8:16, I John 5:10-12)

 

The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness

 

(Eph 4:24; Titus 2:12; II Timothy 2:19)

 

*       In water baptism of believers by immersion. All who repent and believe Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:6; Acts 2:38; 10:47-48; Romans 6:4)

 

*       In the baptism with the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation, with the scriptural evidence of speaking in tongues (Acts 2:6; 10:44-46; Romans 6:4)

 

*       In the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in I Corinthians 12-14 being exercised and practiced as manifest in the early church.

 

*       In the Lord’s Supper for believers. The Lord’s Supper is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (II Peter 1:4); a memorial of HIS suffering and death (I Corinthians 11:26) to be participated in by all believers until He returns.

 

*       In the healing RESTORATION of the SOUL by Divine Power, ie. Divine healing as practiced by the LORD HIMSELF and the early church.

 

*       In eternal life of the believer  and the unbeliever – WELL to bad so sad Read John 3:36 – WE SUGGEST THEY REPENT of their UNBELEIF lest they FACE THE ULTIMATE REJECTION – the LAKE of FIRE AIN’T no PICNIC. And Lovers of Darkness well A BLACK HOLE WITH YOUR NAME ON IT IS BETTER THAN FACING THE MESSIAH YOU REJECTED or HIS FATHER or HIS BRETHREN for THAT MATTER.
