What we believe

  • All Scripture is inspired by God for instruction, for conviction, for correction and for training in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16).
  • There is one eternal God, Who is manifested as three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; 1 Jn. 5:7).
  • Man was created in God’s image; He created them male and female (Gen. 1:27). Man was created to have dominion over God’s creation (Gen. 1:26) for His glory (Is. 43:7).
  • From the very beginning, and even after the fall of Adam, God intended for man to obey Him (Gen. 2:17), ruling over sin (Gen. 4:7).
  • Man’s act of disobedience brought sin and death into the world (Rom. 5:12), causing man to fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23).
  • When Adam sinned, man forfeited his authority to Satan (Lk. 4:6), his tempter, who became the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4).
  • Everyone born into the world is under Satan’s power and control (Ps. 58:3; 1 Jn. 5:19).
  • Satan has come to steal, kill and destroy (Jn. 10:10). That’s how we recognize his works.
  • Only a sinless man (Heb. 7:26-28), totally submitted to God (Jn. 6:38), who could resist every temptation to sin (Heb. 4:15), was qualified to take back the authority that Adam lost to Satan (Lk. 4:1-13; Matt. 28:18).
  • Jesus, the only begotten Son of God (Jn. 3:16), was chosen from before the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8) to reconcile man back to God (Col. 1:19-20). As God incarnate, He is still part of the Godhead.
  • Jesus emptied Himself of His divine privileges, taking the form of a servant, when He came to earth in the likeness of man (Phil. 2:6-8). If Jesus had come to earth using His divine privileges to take back man’s authority, He would have been usurping God’s very own decree that specifically and solely granted dominion to man. God needs yielded vessels (men) to perform His will, just as Satan needs yielded vessels (men) to do his will. Only as a man, with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, was Jesus able to heal all who were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38).
  • Through His sinless life, His sacrificial death on the cross and His victorious resurrection, Jesus disarmed Satan and stripped him of his authority (Col. 2:15).
  • Jesus gave us, His disciples, His name (Mk. 16:17-18), His authority (Matt. 28:18) over all the power of the enemy (Lk. 10:19) to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons (Matt. 10:8). This ability to do greater works than Jesus did (Jn. 14:12) comes via the anointing of the Holy Spirit, just as it did for Jesus while He lived as a man on earth (Acts 10:38).
  • Even now, as in the beginning, through the grace given to us in Christ Jesus (2 Tim. 1:9), we are called to live a holy life (Lev. 19:2; Eph. 1:4; 1 Pet. 1:16) as a slave to righteousness (Rom. 6:19).
  • Only by living in Him can we live the consecrated life to which He has called us (Acts 17:28; Phil. 4:13). Willfully submitting to Him in every area is essential (2 Cor. 8:5; Jas. 4:7) for living victoriously (1 Cor. 15:57; 2 Cor. 2:14).
  • Since you have died to sin (Rom. 6:2), refuse to practice sinning (1 Jn. 3:8, 5:18). Confess your sins (Matt. 6:12; 1 Jn. 1:9) and receive the cleansing blood of Jesus so you will be able to turn away from dead works and serve God (Heb. 9:14).
  • Forgiveness is only possible by the shedding of blood, which purifies (Heb. 9:22). Jesus, our Lamb without spot or blemish (1 Pet. 1:19), shed His blood as an eternal sacrifice once and for all (Heb. 9:12). Jesus paid the sin debt for all (1 Jn. 2:2) who obey God’s command to repent (Acts 17:30) and receive God’s free gift of everlasting life (Jn. 3:16).
  • Sinners, those born into sin (Ps. 51:5), who do not repent (Acts 17:30) or obey the gospel of Lord Jesus, are separated from God and headed for everlasting destruction and torment to pay their sin debt (2 Thess. 1:8-9; Ps. 37:38). Saints, those who have been reconciled to God (2 Cor. 5:18), and who overcome, have a glorious inheritance (Rev. 21:7). Jesus delivered us from the wrath of God (1 Thess. 1:10).
  • Believers are to spread and demonstrate this good news gospel to all the world about what Jesus has done for all people (Mk. 16:15-18). We must also warn the world of the consequences of the judgment to come if they reject Jesus, our indescribable gift (Jn. 12:48; Acts 17:30-31; Rev. 20:11-15; 2 Cor. 9:15).
  • Believers should be water baptized by immersion, as Jesus was (Matt. 3:13-16). It signifies death to our old life and resurrection into newness of life (Rom. 6:4-6).
  • Believers should be baptized with the Holy Spirit (Acts 8:15-18), receiving their heavenly prayer language (Acts 19:2-6; Rom. 8:26-27; Jude 1:20) so that they can be powerful witnesses on this earth (Acts 1:8).
  • All things are possible to him who believes (Mk. 9:23). Our inheritance includes being partakers of the divine nature through His precious and magnificent promises (2 Pet. 1:4). Anything that was possible for any saint, we can do and have also (Phil. 4:13) because our God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). Enoch and Elijah did not have to pass through death (Gen. 5:24; 2 Kgs. 2:11-12). We have been co-crucified (Gal. 2:20), co-buried (Rom. 6:4), and co-raised with Christ (Col. 3:1). If we all died (2 Cor. 5:14), then we believe the choice to pass through death again is up to you (John 6:49-51, 8:51, 11:26). Having been raised with Christ, we can now strive for (seek, desire, demand) the things above (Col. 3:1).
  • Without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6), therefore we would rather choose to believe that with God all things are possible (Matt. 19:26). We are not ashamed of the gospel or the power contained therein, to bring salvation and infinitely more (Rom. 1:16; Eph. 3:20)!
