We currently are members of Church of God Pentecostal
Our Beliefs
The
Lord Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of
Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God. We believe in His
substitutionary death for all men, His resurrection, and His eventual return to
judge the world.
Salvation
We believe all men are born
with a sinful nature and that the work of the Cross was to redeem man from the
power of sin. We believe that this salvation is available to all who will
receive it.
The
Holy Spirit
We believe in the existence of the
Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity and in His interaction with
man. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as manifested by the
fruit and the gifts of the Spirit.
The
Sacred Scripture
We believe in the scripture as the
inspired Word of God and that it is the complete revelation of God's will for
mankind. We believe in the absolute authority of the scripture to govern
the affairs of men.
Stewardship
We believe that every man is the
steward of his life and resources which ultimately belong to God. We
believe that tithing is a measure of obedience to the scriptural principles of
stewardship.
The
Church
We believe in the Church as the
eternal and universal Body of Christ consisting of all those who have accepted
the work of the atonement. We believe in the need for a local assembly of
believers for the purpose of evangelism and edification.
Prayer
and Praise
We believe in the worship of the
Lord through singing, clapping, and the lifting of hands. We believe in the
authority of the believer to ask freely of the Lord for his needs.
Evangelism
We believe that evangelism is the
obligation of every follower of Jesus Christ. The Lord commands us to go out
and make disciples of all the earth. We believe that each person is first
responsible to evangelism in their own family as the Holy Spirit leads them and
gives them the ability.
Water
Baptism
We believe in the ordinance of water
baptism by immersion in obedience to the Word of God. All those who have
accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior should be baptized in water as a
public profession of their faith in Christ and to experience what the Bible
calls the "circumcision of the Spirit."
The
Priesthood of the Believer
We believe that every believer has a
unique relationship to the Lord. As His children, every Christian has immediate
access to the throne of Grace and the ability to manifest the power of the Lord
Jesus Christ in ministry.
