Based on the Bible, we believe the following:
ABOUT THE BIBLE The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is true in all that it teaches. As the flawless Word of God, it is our only authority for what we believe and how we live (2 Tim. 3:15-17). ABOUT CHRISTIAN LIVING As Christians we are to love God and love others. We are to worship God joyfully and seek to live a life that is pleasing to Him both inwardly and outwardly—in our thoughts, words, and actions. We are empowered to live a life pleasing to God through the Holy Spirit. As a Pentecostal church, we believe that the supernatural gifts of the Spirit are for the church today and are available to all Spirit-filled believers (Mark 12:28-31; 1 Cor. 12:8-10; 2 Cor. 7:1; Rom. 8:13-14; Gal. 5:19-26; Heb. 12:14). ABOUT COMMUNION The cup and the bread are taken by believers together in remembrance of the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for us, until He comes again at the end of this age. (1 Cor. 11:23-27). ABOUT THE FUTURE Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. (1 Thess. 4:16-17; Rev. 20:11-15). ABOUT GOD AND JESUS CHRIST There is only one God. The One God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that is, the One God manifested in and through an authentic human life. To see Jesus is to see God. (Deut 6:4; John 14:9; Eph 4:4-6; Col 2:9; 1 Tim 3:16). ABOUT THE GOSPEL AND CONVERSION The gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We express our belief in the gospel through our obedience to the gospel. We obey the gospel and apply it to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church. (1 Cor. 15:1-4; 2 Thess. 1:8; 1 Pet. 4:17; Mark 1:15; Acts 15:7; Rom. 6:3-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; 8:9-17; 10:1-48; 19:1-7). ABOUT HEALING God still provides physical and emotional healing, deliverance from addiction, restoration of relationships, and transformed lives. (James 5:14-15; Isaiah 53:4-5). ABOUT SMALL GROUPS God created us to thrive in relationship, first with Him and then with one another. Doing life together is a principle that we find throughout the Bible and is supported and taught through the teachings of the New Testament. (Acts 2:42-47; Matt. 18:20; Heb. 10:24-25; 2 Tim. 2:2). ABOUT SIN AND SALVATION Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (Rom. 3:23-25; 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9). |
