Statements Of Faith

1. We believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, Ephesians 2:8-9 for it is by God's grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God's gift, so that no one can boast about it. (GNV)

2. We believe in a finished work of Jesus Christ as a complete sacrifice, Colossians 2:9-10 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. (NKJV)

3. We do not believe in physical water baptism because we have to be baptized into the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Mathew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (NKJV)

4. We believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, 2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

5. We do not believe in Tithing but we do believe in giving generously as the New Testament Church, Hebrews 10:8 Previously saying, "Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the law). (NKJV)

6. We believe that the Old Testament was a shadow of New Testament Hebrews 10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. (NKJV)

7. We believe that Jesus Christ fasted for us the believers and we do not need to fast to overcome burdens. Mark 2:18-19 the disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting. Then they came and said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" 19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. (NKJV)

8. We believe in the Holy Spirit and in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 14:1, it is love, then, that you should strive for. Set your hearts on spiritual gifts, especially the gift of proclaiming God's message. (GNV)

9. We believe that the Church of Christ is Holy and those who are in Church are Holy with no sin, Mathew 5:48 You must be perfect—just as your Father in heaven is perfect.. (GNV)

10. We do not believe in practicing the Lord's Supper because Jesus Christ did it in order to seal the New Covenant for the forgiveness of the sins, Mathew 26:26-28 26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (NKJV)
