What We Believe
Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and is in the original writings. We believe that this devine inspiration extends equally to each word and to all parts of the sixty-six canonical books. We believe that all scriptures center on the Lord Jesus Christ, both the Old and New Testament and that they are believer's sole authority.
We believe that Scripture is to be taken in its natural and literal sense, recognizing the interpreter must not appeal to literary forms which cast doubt on the reliability or the morality of the devine author of scripture.
We believe that all Scriptures were designed for our practical instruction. 2 Tim 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21, 3:15-16; 1 For. 2:13; John 14:26, 16:13, 17:17; Hey. 1:1-2.
OUR FAITH
We believe there is only one living and true God existing as three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe that the members of the Godhead have the same nature and attributes and are worthy of the same worship and honor. We believe that the six-day biblical account of the miraculous acts of God creating all that exists. All of creation was good before sin and death entered it. God continues to sustain creation by His power and will bring it ro completion for His glory.
We believe that the Father is the source of all things and the one who sent the son as His gift into the world. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, eternal and equal the Father, born of the Virgin Mary, and that He is both true God and true man.
We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures as a voluntary and substitutionary sacrifice. We believe that Jesus Christ rose physically from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He is now ministering as our advocate and high priest.
We believe that Jesus Christ will receive us unto Himself at His coming and will return to establish His millennial kingdom on earth. We believe the Holy Spirit is a devine person who is co-equal with the Father and Son and that He was active in creation, convicts the world of sin, reveals Christ and baptizes all believers into the body of Christ at conversion along with His work of indwelling , sealing, regenerating, empowering and gifting. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and that initial evidence or sign is one speaks with other tongues at the spirit gives evidence.
We believe that the signs gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today and every believer has t least one. We believe in the gifts as the offices the Lord Jesus gave to the church as He ascended on High. John 4:24; Duet. 6:4; Gen. 1:1; Col. 2:9; Heb. 1:1-2; John 1:1, 14,18; John 8:58;Acts 2:1-4, 10:44-46, 19:1-7; Phil. 2:5-8; 1 Peter 2:24, 3:18; Hey. 7:25; Matt.28:19; 2 For. 13-14; Matt. 1:18-25; John 14:26, 16:7-14; Psa. 139:7-12; Acts 5:3, 4; Rom. 8:9; ! For. 6:19, 12:1-11, 12:13; Eph. 4:7-16; 2 For. 12:12.
OUR MISSION
We believe that mankind was made by a direct work of God and from the dust, apart from any existing form of life. All humans are made in the image of God and descending from Adam and Eve, the original created pair. We believe in the sanctity of life.
We believe that all sexual relationships must pattern themselves after a faithful heterosexual relationship with in marriage. We believe that man fell through sin, asa consequence, became dead in trespasses and sins and became subject to the power of Satan.
We believe that sin has been transmitted to the entire human race so that every child of Adam Is born into the world with a fallen nature devoid of spiritual life and no power to recover oneself from this condition. Gen. 1:26-27, 2:7; Rom. 3:1:26-27, 2:7; Rom. 3:1-24, 5:12-14.
Prepare God's people for works of his service so that the body of Christ may be built up. For there to be ministry and more ministry in the church and the church not Lacking in Prophetic Ministry. Prepare for the transition to end of our mortal life and be prepared for immortality via the teachings of the Jesus the Christ; and led by the Holy Spirit.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is entirely of God, by grace, through person faith in the blood of Christ, wholly apart from any human merit, works, or foreseen faith. We believe that believers were chosen sovereignly by God before the foundation of the world for salvation are enabled by the Spirit to believe.
We believe that divine nature and divine life are communicated to believers by a supernatural work of the Spirit. We believe that believers are justified before God in that their sins were imputed to Christ and His righteousness was reckoned to them.
We We believe that all believers were sanctified at the point of salvation and the believer is progressively brought closer to conformity to the holiness of God, a process culminating at the return of Christ. We believe that all who are truly born again will be kept by Christ and will preserve in faith unto the day of redemption. Eph. 2:1-8; Titus 3:5-6; Acts 16:31; John 3:3-7; 2 Cor. 1:2; Phil. 1:6; Rom. 8:33-39; John 10:27-29.
OUR VALUES
We that all who are united to the risen and ascended Son of God are members of the church which began on Pentecost. We believe the local chapel is a congregation of immersed believers, associated in the faith, stewardship of the gospel, and worship of God. We believe that the local chapel has the absolute right of self-government free from the interference of any hierarchy of individuals or organizations.
We believe that the ordinances of the church are baptism by immersion as the the identifying symbol of one's belief in Christ's death and resurrection, foot washing, and communion which commemoration of Christ death until he comes. We believe the church hast he responsibility to take the gospel message to all nations of the earth and to be a voice for justice and truth in the world. We believe in separation from all sinful practices and all spiritual apostasy.
OUR DOCTRINE
We believe angels are spirit being created to serve and worship God. We believe that all believers have angels ministering to them. We believe Satan was created holy but rebelled against the Creator, involving numerous angels in his fall, and introducing sin to the human race by the temptation of our first parents. We Satan was defeated in the death of Christ and will tormented eternally in the lake of fire. We believe Satan's control over Christian is limited to external influences which may be resisted by the believer. Heb. 1:6; Rev 5:11; Gen. 3:1-5; Matt. 4:1-11; Rev. 20:10.
Future Events
We believe in the imminent coming of Jesus Christ for His church prior to the tribulation period at which time all church saints will be raised, glorified and rewarded. We believe that Christ will return at the end of the tribulation to set up the millennial kingdom, to overthrow Satan, and to restore Israel to their promised land according to the Old Testament promises. We believe in the physical resurrection of all the dead; the saved to life eternal, the unsaved to eternal judgement and separation from God in the lake of fire. We believe the eternal state will begin following the judgement of the lost with believers of all time enjoying God forever. 1 Thess. 4:13-18; I For. 15:22-24; Rev. 1:5-7, 19:11-16, 20:1-7; John 5:22; Rom. 14:10-13; Rev. 21:22; John 14:1-3.
