MINISTRIES STATEMENT OF BELIEF

1. All Scriptures is the inspired Word of God.

   All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works, 2^nd Timothy 3:16.

2. We believe in one true God, expressed in three Persons.

   One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all, Ephesians 4:6.
   For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one, 1^st John 5:7.

3. We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son, is God, our only mediator to the Father.

   For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 1^st Timothy 2:5.

4. We believe all concepts of Scripture to be interrelated.

   For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ, 1^st Corinthians 12:12,

5. We believe in man's return to fellowship with God, through His Son Jesus Christ.

   For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23.
   For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, Romans 6:23.
   For by grace are you saved through faith; not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast, Ephesians 2:8-9.
   If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved Romans 10:9.
   For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive, 1^st Corinthians 15:22.

6. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and all the gifting(s) of the Holy Spirit.

   When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied, Acts 19:6.
   Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Ephesians 1:3.

7. We believe in prophecy and speaking in tongues, for the building up of the saints.

   They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance, Acts 2:4.
   But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Jude 1:20.
   Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues, 1^st Corinthians 14:39.
   But he that prophesieth speaks unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort, 1^st Corinthians 14:3.

8. We believe in divine healings, signs and wonders, and other miracles.

   Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give, Matthew 10:8.
   Who his own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed, 1^st Peter 2:24.

9. We believe in the return of Jesus Christ for His church.

   And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also, John 14:3.
   For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord, 1^st Thessalonians 4:16-17.

10. We believe in both heaven and hell.

    And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, Hebrews 9:27.
    They that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation, John 5:29.
