GOD:
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM,” the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Deut. 6:4; Isaiah 43: 10, 11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22.
JESUS CHRIST:
The second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to humanity and to become the Savior of the lost world so that every person might have relationship with God. The Lord Jesus Christ, God with us the Lord Jesus Christ, as to His divine and eternal nature, is the proper and only Begotten of the Father, but as to His human nature, He is the proper Son of Man. He is therefore, acknowledged to be both God and man; who because He is God and man, He is “Immanuel,” God with us. Matt.1:23; I John 4:2,10,14; Rev.1:13,17.
HOLY SPIRIT:
Dwells in every believer and causes them to grow towards their full potential in Jesus Christ.
John 14:16, 1 Cor: 6:19-20, John 14:26.
SALVATION:
We believe that salvation is God’s gift received by faith on the part of the believer. Our faith is in Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection which conquered sin and death for all time. It is salvation that reunites us with the heart of the Father. To be clear – this salvation is a gift that cannot be earned or bought.
Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5-7, Romans 10:9-10, Hebrews 9:22, 10:10.
THE BIBLE:
The Bible is the sole basis of everything we say or do at Believe church. We believe the Spirit of God moved men to write every word found in the Bible therefore making the Bible inspired and without error. The Bible is the final authority on every subject.
II Timothy 3:16 // II Peter 1:20-21 // Proverbs 30:5 // Romans 16:25-26.
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE:
We believe all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. At our core we believe that people who follow Christ put Him first in all things. We believe in extravagant worship which shows our true allegiance to Jesus’ authority. We believe in intentional growth through the Bible and through prayer. We believe life is found in community with other believers. We believe in advancing His Kingdom by our giving, serving, and invitation to a life with Jesus Christ.
Matthew 6:33, John 4:20, Mark 4:3-20, Acts 2:42-47, I Peter 2:9-1.
THE CHURCH:
We believe that the church is God’s representation on the earth today. The church is the body of Christ with Jesus Christ as the singular head. The church is made up of all those people who have, by faith, received Jesus as Lord. The church exists on the earth to bring glory to God, to speak of His light in a dark world, and to serve people as to show them God’s love.
Matthew 16:13-19, Acts 2:14-47, I Corinthians 12:27, Colossians 1:18
THE ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH:
(a) Baptism in Water: The ordinance of baptism by immersion in water (Matthew 28:19) shall be administered to all who have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ to the saving of their souls, and who give clear evidence of their salvation (Romans 6:3-5, Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47, 48, Colossians 2:12).
(b) Holy Communion: The ordinance of the Lord’s Supper shall be observed regularly as enjoined in the Scriptures (Luke 22:19, 20; I Corinthians 11:23-26).
BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST:
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4, 8; I Cor. 12:1-31). This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 8:12-17; 10: 44-46; 11: 14-16; 15:7-9). With the Baptism in the Holy Ghost come such experiences as an overflowing fullness of the Spirit (John 7:37-39; Acts 4:8), a deepened reverence for God (Acts 2:43; Heb. 2:28), an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work (Acts 2:42), evidence by speaking in tongues (Acts 2:3-4, I Cor 12:4-10, 28) and a more active love for Christ, for His word and for the lost. (Mark 16:20).
