Statement of Faith
We Believe: That the Bible is the Inspired Word of God and that it is written for us today, as well as for those in the past. II Tim. 3:16 In the "born-again" experience known as salvation. John 3:16 That as a Christian, our daily conduct should line up with God's Word. II Corinthians 7:1 In the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues available to all believers. We encourage all to speak/pray in tongues but do not believe this to be essential in order to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:1-4 That Jesus paid the price for our physical and emotional healing as well as our salvation and that healing is for all, NOW. I Peter 2:24 In sharing Christ with others as commanded in Matt. 28:19, 20. In tithing (10% of our income) as support for the local church. Proverbs 3:9, Malachi 3:10 In keeping the ordinances of water baptism by immersion (we don't fight over this either!) (Matt. 28:19,20); the Lord's supper (ICor. 12:4-10); and fellowshipping with the saints regularly. Acts 2:42 In the operations of the gifts of the Spirit. I Cor. 12:4-11, Romans 12:5-8 In the fruits of the Spirit evident in every believer's life. Galatians 5:22,23 In the triune God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Matt.28:20, I John 2:22-24, John 14:16,17,26 |
