Statement of Faith

This Fellowship will accept the Holy Scriptures as the revealed will of God, that all sufficient rule of faith and practice and the truth set forth is held to be essential to a Full Gospel ministry. We adopt the following STATEMENT OF FAITH. No claim is made that is contains all truth in the Bible. Only, that is covers our present needs as to these fundamental matters.

I. The Scriptures inspired

The Bible is the Inspired Word of God., a revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason. 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12

II. The one True God

The One True God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed, “I am” and as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Deut 6:4; Mark 12:29, Isa 43:10; Matt 28:19

III. The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He is both divine and human. Luke 1:26-38; John 14:1-3; Acts 2:36 & 3:14-15; Phil 2:5-12

IV. The Fall of Man

Man was created good and upright, for God said; “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” But man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God. Gen 1:26 & 3:1-7; Rom 5:12-21

V. Salvation

A. Conditions to Salvation

The grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. Man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, and, being justified by grace through faith, he becomes heir of God according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 2:11, Luke 24:27; Titus 3:5-7

B. The Evidence of Salvation

The inward evidence, to the believer of his salvation, is the direct witness of the Spirit. Romans 8:16. The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.

VI. The Ordinance of the Church:

A. Baptism of Water.

The ordinance of Baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the scriptures, by all who have really repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. Matt 28:19; Acts 10:47; Romans 6:4

B. Holy Communion.

The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ, a memorial to his suffering and death and a prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined on all believers “Until He comes”. John 6:48, 51, 53-57; Luke 22:19-20; 2 Peter 1:4; 1 Corinthians 11:26

VII. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit to be the third person of the Trinity whose purpose in the redemption of man is to convict men of sin, regenerate the repentant believer, guide the believer into ALL truth, indwell and give gifts to the believers as He wills, that they may minister as Christ would to men.

We believe that the manifestations of the Holy Spirit recorded in 1 Cor. 12:8-11 shall operate in present day churches which yield to the Lord Jesus Christ. Luke 11:13; John 7:37-39 & 14:16-17; Acts 2:39-48

We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, is for all believers as promised by John the Baptist (Matt 3:11) and Jesus (Acts 1:4,5 & 8) and Peter 9 Acts 2:38-41), was witnessed by the early disciples of Christ (Acts 2:4; 10:44-47; 19:1-6) and is evidenced by many present day disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.

VIII. Separated Life

We believe that believers should seek, as the early disciples did, to practice the separated life from the world and unto Christ and to set standards of conduct that shall exalt our Lord and His Church. Romans 12:1-3; 2 Corinthians 6:17; Galatians 6:14; Ephesians 5:11; Colossians 3:17

IX. The Church

The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer born of the Spirit, is an integral past of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven. Ephesians 1:22; Hebrews 12:23

X. The Ministry

A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a two fold purpose: (1.) the evangelism of the world, (2.) The edifying of the Body of Christ. Mark 16:15-20; Ephesians 4:11-13

XI. Divine Healing

Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers. Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:18; John 5:14

XII. Second Coming

We believe in the visible, bodily return of Christ Jesus to this earth to rapture His Church (Bride) and judge the world. Acts 1:10-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; James 5:8; Revelation 1:7

XIII. Heaven and Hell

We believe the Scriptures clearly set forth the doctrines of eternal punishment for the lost and eternal bliss and service for the saved – Hell for the unsaved and Heaven for the saved. Matthew 25:34, 41. 46; Luke 16:19-31; John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:11-15

X1V. Priesthood of Believers

We believe that each believer is a priest of the Lord (Revelation 1:6) and has free access to the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ. Each person must believe for himself, be baptized for himself, obey for himself, and answer to his Creator for himself.

XV. The New Heaven and New Earth

We “according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.” 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:22
