Our Beliefs
The God described in the Bible is not only the creator of the universe but also the ultimate authority. This God has existed for all of eternity and is a single entity with three distinct and equal persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. You can find this concept in verses like Genesis 1:1, 26-27, Psalms 90:2, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, and 1 Peter 1:2.
While our physical bodies will eventually die, our souls are eternal. Each person will either experience everlasting separation from God in a place called hell due to their sins or live forever with God in a perfect place called heaven, all thanks to what Jesus did. Relevant Bible verses include John 3:16, Romans 6:23, 1 John 2:25, 5:11-13, and Revelation 20:15.
Jesus, who is both the second member of the Trinity and the Son of God, had both human and divine natures. He was born to the virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit, and he demonstrated his divine nature through miracles while living a completely sinless life. He offered himself as a sacrifice for everyone’s sins by dying on a cross, and three days later, he rose from the dead, proving his power over death and sin. Jesus is currently reigning in heaven but will return one day to rule over the Earth. The Bible references for this include Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 1:22-23, John 1:1-5, 14:10-30, Romans 1:3-4, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Hebrews 4:14-15, 1 Timothy 6:14-15, and Titus 2:13.
God offers salvation as a free gift to humanity, and it doesn’t depend on our good deeds or any personal efforts. The only way to receive salvation is by having faith in Jesus Christ, believing in his death, burial, and resurrection. When we trust in Christ because of God’s grace, we receive eternal life immediately. This can be found in verses like John 1:12, 14:6, Romans 5:1, 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 3:26, and Titus 3:5.
The Holy Spirit is another member of the Trinity and holds an equal status alongside the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in the world by revealing the truth about sin, righteousness, and the judgment to come. The Spirit resides within believers, providing them with strength, guidance, instruction, transformation, and helping them become more like Christ. This is discussed in verses like John 14:16-17, 16:7-13, Acts 1:8, Ephesians 1:13, 5:18, 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16, 2 Corinthians 3:17, and Galatians 5:25.
The Bible is God’s sacred and inspired word, containing no errors of any kind. It provides guidance for human life and salvation and serves as the ultimate and non-negotiable source of truth about moral behavior, life, and faith. You can see this reflected in verses such as Psalms 12:6, 119:105, 160, Proverbs 30:5, 2 Timothy 1:13, 3:16-17, and 2 Peter 1:20-21.
Water baptism is an important step of obedience for individuals who have repented of their sins and want to publicly profess their faith in Christ. Although our salvation doesn’t depend on it, it serves as a declaration of our genuine commitment to the Lord. Through baptism, we symbolize the death of our old selves and the birth of a new spiritual life. This is discussed in Matthew 28:19-20, Romans 6:4, Acts 2:38, and 10:48.
Jesus’ life and ministry illustrate the principle of supernatural healing, and this is also a part of the final mission Jesus gave to his disciples. While our belief firmly supports divine healing and praying for the sick, it doesn’t attribute a lack of healing to the individual’s faith. This perspective aligns with biblical teachings and rejects the notion that a person’s lack of healing is due to their faith’s failure.
