Statement of Faith
God
We believe in the Trinity:
Father (Jehovah)
Son (Jesus Christ) &
The Holy Spirit (Spirit of God)
The bible tells us that “God is Spirit.” John 4:24
Therefore we must not make idols of stone, gold, silver & wood to worship Him.
We believe the Trinity is one. We believe there is one God …and that is Jesus Christ!
Holy Bible
We believe only in the Holy Bible.
Bible is not just another book! The words in it are living words. And when we read the bible, the Holy Spirit is present with us. He will teach us & speak to us through the bible.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
Salvation
When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior & Lord of our life. We attain Salvation. God gave His only Son JESUS to take away our sins and die on the cross, so that WE don’t suffer the consequences for our sins. There is no other door to heaven but Jesus. He is the Way, the Truth & the Life!
As Jesus said:
“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:9 &10
Few people proclaim that we can go to the Father (Jehovah) directly.
Do not be deceived by such people. As the bible cleary states:
“No one comes to the Father, except through Me.”
John 14:6
Without Jesus we cannot go to His Father or enter heaven!
Jesus is knocking on the door of our hearts. If we hear His voice & open our hearts today & let Him in….He will dwell in us! He will dwell in us and we in Him, so that we can bear fruit. For without Him we cannot bear fruit.
“ Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20
Baptism of water & the Holy Spirit
There are 2 ways of baptism:
1. Baptism of water-To die to our old self & sins & to be born again.
2. Baptism of the Holy Spirit- To be filled with the Spirit of God.
For the bible says, “Jesus answered,” “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:5
Repentance
“From that time Jesus began to preach & to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, & pray & seek My face, & turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, & will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
Holy Communion
As body of Christ we believe that the body of Jesus was broken & His precious blood was shed on the cross of Calvary for the remission of our sins. It reminds us of the New Covenant that our Lord Jesus made with us “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 1 Corinthians 11:25
The bread signifies the body of Christ & the wine signifies the blood of Christ,
as often as we eat this bread & drink this cup, we proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
Resurrection
Jesus died on the cross & was raised from His death on the third day! And He is sitting at the right hand of God I heaven. And just as Jesus was raised fro the dead, Jesus promised His children resurrection after death. We His children will be raised on the last day.
“And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one who looks on the Son, and believes in Him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:40
Repentance
“From that time Jesus began to preach & to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, & pray & seek My face, & turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, & will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
Forgive others
“For if you forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, neither will your Father forgive your sins.” Matthew 6:14,15
Jesus Our Healer
Lord Jesus died on the cross of Calvary, His body was crushed and His precious blood was shed for us! Jesus bore our sins, sickness, shame & pain on the cross, and so by His stripes we are healed!! It was NOT Mary or infant Jesus who took our sins on the cross. And therefore, Jesus alone has the power & authority to heal, to deliver, to raise people from the dead & to take us to heaven.
“For by His stripes; we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5
“I AM the Lord, your Healer.” Exodus 15:26
Holiness
We have to keep ourselves (body & mind) pure & holy. For the bible tells us:
“Be Holy, for I am Holy.” 1 Peter 1:16 Leviticus 11:44
“Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14
……in other words we cannot enter heaven to see God without holiness!
Life after death
The bible tells us that there is life after death. If we Accept Jesus as our Savior & Lord of our life & keep ourselves holy. Then, when we die we will go to heaven and spend eternity with Jesus.
If we Reject Jesus, we will go to hell to spend eternity in the lake of fire!
There is no other god that can take us to heaven but Jesus! So, don’t leave this earth without Jesus.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14
The bible says “For God (Father) so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus), that who ever believes in Him(Jesus) shall not perish (go to hell), but have eternal life (go to heaven). John 3:16
