What We Believe  

 Section1: The Bible

We believe the Bible,comprised of the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired,infallible, and authoritative Word of God (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). In faith we hold the Bible to be inerrant in the original writings, God breathed, and the complete final authority for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3: 16-17). While still using the individual writing style of the human authors, the Holy Spirit perfectly guided them to ensure they wrote precisely what He wanted written, without error or omissions (2 Peter 1:21).

Section 2: God 

We believe in one God, who is Creator of all (Deuteronomy 6:4; Colossians 1:16), Who has revealed Himself in three distinct Persons-- Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14), yet who is one in being, essence, and glory(John10:30). God is eternal (Psalm 90:2), infinite (1 Timothy 1:17), and sovereign (Psalm 93:1). God is omniscient (Psalm 139:1-6) omnipresent (Psalm 139:7-13), omnipotent (Revelation 19:6), and unchanging (Malachi 3:6). God is holy (Isaiah 6:3), just (Deuteronomy 32:4), and righteous  (Exodus 9:27). God is love (1John 4:8), gracious (Ephesians 2:8), merciful (1 Peter 1:3), and good (Romans 8:28).

Section 3: Jesus Christ 

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God incarnate, God in human form, the expressed image of the Father, who, without ceasing to be God, became man in order that He might demonstrate who God is and provide the means of Salvation for humanity ( Matthew 1:21; John 1:18; Colossians 1:15).

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:23) that He is truly fully God and truly fully man (John 1:1-14); that He live a perfect, sinless life (1John 3:5); that His teachings are true (John 14:6).We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on on the cross for all Humanity(1 John 2:2) as a substitutionary sacrifice (Isaiah 53:5-6).We hold that His death is sufficient to provide salvation for all who received Him as Savior (John 1:12 Acts 16:31); That our justification is grounded in the shedding of his blood(Romans 5:9; Ephesians 1:7); and that it is attested by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (Matthew 28:6; 1 Peter 1:3).

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven in his glorified body(Acts1:9-10)and is now seated at the right hand of God as our High Priest and Advocate(Romans 8:34; Hebrews7:25).

Section 4: The Holy Spirit 

We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit(Acts 5:3-4). He regenerates sinners  (Titus 3:5) and indwells  believers  (Romans 8:9). He is the agent by whom Christ  baptize all believers into the His body (1 Corinthians 12:12-14) He is the seal by whom the Father guarantees the salvation of believers unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 1:13-14). He is the Divine Teacher who illumines believers ' hearts and minds as they study the Word of God (1 Corinthians 2:9-12).

We believe that the Holy Spirit is ultimately sovereign in the distribution of spiritual gifts  (1 Corinthians 12:11)We believe that the miraculous gifts of the Spirit, while by no means outside of the Spirit's ability to empower, no longer function to the same degree they did in the early development of the church (1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 2 Corinthians 12:12; Ephesians 2:20; 4:7-12). 

Section 5: Baptism vs Confessing

Acts 2:38 SAVES The New Testament church was birthed on the day of Pentecost. Jesus gave a mandate in John 3:5, Act 8:14-17, Act 9:15-18, Acts10:44-48, Acts 9:1-6 are all accounts of JESUS NAME Baptism and speaking in tongues, this we follow. It's no other way Romans is a letter to saints in Rome. THE PLAN OF SALVATION is Acts 2:38

Paul was Baptized why would he tell others to only confess?

Born of water and spirit will not experience the kingdom of God and Bible.

Confessing and Receiving is not enough.

CONFESS-Psalm 32:5 (David confessed under the law, it did not necessarily save him)

Christ does not denounce the Acts of being baptized and speaking in tongues Acts 2:38, Acts 4:12 Matthew 10:32, Luke 12:8 Rev 3:5 He that over-cometh.

Acts (Book of the History of the Church. See if you can find a verse that states, confess with your mouth and receive him) because the verse they use in Roman10:9 is to the saint. Take a look at Roman 1:7.

Romans chapter 10 Paul is addressing the Jews who are in Rome.

Roman 10:9 (THE BIG CONFESSION)-1John 1:9 & 1John 4:15 - Confessing of our Sins. Also read, Luke 15:7&10. John 9:31 is a Key Verse for Romans Chapter 10. 

SINNERS PRAYER : Read Romans Read it All, Romans10:8-15 &17-18

Who is this to, Saints or Sinners? 

Read Romans 1:7-10. Romans 10:1 Paul addresses the brethren not the sinners. In the AMP BIBLE: Romans 10:2--Had a Zeal and Enthusiasm for God, but it is Not enlightened and according to (Correct and Vital) KNOWLEDGE:(3) Being ignorant of the righteousness that God ascribe.

Section 6: Angels and Demons

We believe in the reality and personality of angels. We Believe that God created the angels to be His servants in messengers (Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 148:2; Hebrews 1:14).

We believe in the existence and personality of Satan and demons. Satan is a fallen angel who led a group of angels in rebellion against God (Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:12-15). He is the great enemy of God and man, and the demons are his servants in evil. He and his demons will be eternally punished in the lake of fire (Matthew 25:41;Revelation 20:10).

Section 7: Humanity 

 We believe that humanity came into existence by direct creation of God and that humanity is uniquely made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27). We believe that all humanity, because of Adam's fall, has inherited a sinful nature, that all human beings choose to sin (Romans 3:23), and that all sin is exceedingly offensive to God (Romans 6:23). Humanity is utterly unable to remedy this fallen state (Ephesians 2:1-5,12).

Section 8: Salvation 

We believe that  salvation is a Gift of God's grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9).Christ's death fully accomplished justification through faith and redemption from sin. Christ died in our place (Romans 5:8-9) and bore our sins in His own body (1 Peter 2:24). On the third day after His death, Jesus physically rose again, demonstrating His victory over sin and death. (Romans 14:9)

We Believe salvation is received by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Good works and obedience are results of Salvation, not requirements for salvation. Due to the greatness, sufficiency, and perfection of Christ sacrifice, all those who have truly received Christ as Savior are eternally secure in salvation, kept by God's power, secured and sealed in Christ forever(John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; Ephesians 1:13-14;1 Peter 1:5; Jude 24). Just as salvation cannot be earned by good works, neither does it need good works to be maintained or sustained. Good works and changed lives are the inevitable  results of salvation (James 2).

Section 9: The Church 

We believe that the church, the body of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all believers of this present age (1Corinthians 12:12-14; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 1:22-23, 5: 25-27). We believe in the odinances of believer's water baptism by immersion as a testimony to Christ and identification with Him, and the Lord's Supper as a remembrance of Christ death and shed blood (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-42,18:8; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26). Through the Church, believers are to be taught to obey the Lord and to testify concerning their faith in Christ as Savior and to honor Him by holy living. We believe in the Great Commission as the primary mission of the Church. It is the obligation of all believers to witness, by word and life, to the truths of God's word. The gospel of the grace of God is to be preached to all the world (Matthew 28:19-20 ; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:19-20).

Section 10: Things to come

We believe in the blessed hope(Titus 2:13), the personal and imminent coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to rapture His saints (1Thessalonians 4:13-18). We believe in the visible and bodily return of Christ to the earth with His saints to established His promised millennial kingdom (Zechariah 14:4-11; 1 Thessalonians 3:13 ; Revelation 3:10, 19:11-16, 20:1-6). We believe in the physical resurrection of all human being-the saints to everlasting joy and bliss on the New Earth, and the wicked to eternal punishment in the lake of fire (Matthew 25:46; John 5:28-29; Revalation 20:5-6, 12-13). 

We believe that the souls of believers are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where they await their resurrection when spirit, soul, and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord (Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23, 3:21, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). We believe that the souls of unbeliever remain, after death, in conscious misery until their resurrection when, with soul and body reunited, they shall appear at the Great White Throne judgement and shall be cast into the Lake of Fire to suffer everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:41-46; Mark 9:43-48; Luke 16:19-26; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; Revelation 20:11-15).
