What I Believe
1. I believe there is only one God; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
2. I believe He is a triune God manifesting as God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:18-20 "And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, “All power is given unto Me in Heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen.
3. I believe Jesus Christ came and walked this earth and HE is the only way.
John 14:6 Jesus said unto him, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."
Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved."
John 3:16-18 "“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
5. I believe Jesus lived a sinless life, became sin for you and me, was crucified, and rose from the dead on the third day in order to bring us back into the presence of God the Father.
2 Corinthians 5:21 "For He hath made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."
1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
6. I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, written by man but inspired by God.
7. I believe every word of the Bible is true.
8. I believe the Word of God is sharper than any two edge sword and has the power to transform, restore, heal, and deliver you if only you believe.
Hebrews 4:12 "For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
9. I believe in the Five Fold Ministry according to Ephesians 4:11 "And He gave some to be apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers."
10. I believe in the filling of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:4 "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
11. I believe in water baptism.
Romans 6:3-5 "Know ye not that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, so we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection."
12. I believe in spiritual gifts. Unity in Diversity.
1 Corinthians 12:1-11
"Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Therefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed, and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, except by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit thereby: For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. But all of these that one and the selfsame Spirit worketh, apportioning to every man individually as He will."
