Statement of Faith

















We do not claim that the wording of this statement is inspired, nor do we claim that it contains all the truth of the Bible. This simple statement, however, is set forth as essential to a full Gospel Ministry.

We Believe...

...the ultimate training in this school will be renewal of the mind according to Romans 12:2. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

...that Man needs power to walk out daily the Victorious Life In Christ in order to bring honor and glory to God, according to Acts 1:8. You will receive power when The Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses.

...that Man needs ever increasing Faith in order to fulfill his God given destiny according to Hebrews 11:6. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

...an active prayer life is vital for the development of intimacy in the believers life, according to Exodus 33:13. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight.

...in taking possession of our divine inheritance through Jesus accomplished work by His death and resurrection, according to Revelation 5:10. ...and having made us Kings and Priest to our God; and We shall reign on the Earth.

...in our grounds of authority given to us by the work of the Cross, according to Colossians 2:15. Having disarmed the powers and authorities, Jesus made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the Cross.

SCRIPTURES INSPIRED - We believe that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God. (II Timothy 3:15; I Peter 2:2)

ONE TRUE GOD - We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. ( Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, John 5:17-30)

DEITY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST - We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in his vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of God the Father and in His personal future return to the earth in power and glory to rule over the nations. (Isaiah 7:14; Acts 1:9-11, 2:22; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 7:26)

FALL OF MAN - We believe man was created good and upright, but man voluntarily sinned and thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death, which is separation from God. (Genesis 12:6-27, 2:17, 3:6; Romans 5:12-19)

SALVATION OF MAN - We believe the only means of our being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for personal salvation. (Luke 24:47, Romans 8:16, 10:13-15; Titus 2:11, 3:5-7)

ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH - We believe the ordinances of the Church are the communion of the Lord's supper and baptism in water by immersion, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.(Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians 11:26; Romans 6:4; II Peter 1:4)

BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST - We believe that the Baptism in the Holy Ghost is granted to all believers who ask for it. We believe this experience is distinct from and follows the new birth; that it was the normal experience of New testament Christians; and that it endues the believer with power for Christian living and service. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:4, 10:44-46, 15:8)

EVIDENCE OF THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST - We believe that the baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. This speaking in tongues is the same in essence as the gift of tongues but is different in its purpose and use;(Acts 2:4; I Corinthians 12:4-10,28 )

SANCTIFICATION - We believe the scriptures teach a life of holiness. Sanctification is a separation from that which is evil and a dedication unto God. We believe all believer's should earnestly pursue sanctification by walking in obedience to God's Word. We further believe that the Christian is able to live a Godly life by indwelling of the Holy Spirit. (Philippians 2:12-13; Hebrews 12:14; I Peter 1:15,16)

THE CHURCH - We believe that the Church is the body of Christ. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is a part of the "general assembly and Church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven." (Ephesians1:22-23, 2:22; Hebrews 12:23)

THE MINISTRY - We believe a divinely called ministry has been provided by our Lord for two purposes: 1) Evangelizing the world, and 2) edifying the body of Christ. (Mark 16:15-20; Ephesians 4:11-13)

DIVINE HEALING - We believe that Jesus' death on the cross provides healing for the human body, in answer to believing prayer. (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16,17; James 5:14-16)

THE BLESSED HOPE -We believe in the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord. This is the imminent and blessed hope of the Church. (Romans 8:23; I Corinthians 15:51,52; I Thessalonians 4:16,17; Titus 2:13)

MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST - We believe the second coming of Jesus includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to rule on the earth for a thousand years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and establish universal peace.(Zechariah 14:5; Isaiah 11:6-9; Micah 4:3,4 Matthew 24:27; Romans 11:26,27; Revelation 1:7, 19:11-24, 20:1-6)
