OUR BELIEFS
OUR BELIEF
-
THE HOLY BIBLE
We believe the Holy Bible is the Word of God – originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy, and the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (II Timothy 3:16)
-
ONE TRUE GOD
We believe the one true God externally exists, manifest in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Mark 12:29, Matthew 28:19, Deuteronomy 6:4)
-
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
We believe in Jesus Christ – God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatory work and His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:14, Luke 1:26-38, Hebrews 4:15, John 2:11, Luke 24:39, John 1:29, Acts 1:9-11)
-
SALVATION & REDEMPTION
We believe in the need for redemption because of the fall of man. (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7, Romans 3:23-24) And we believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. (Titus 3:5-7, Romans 3:28)
-
BAPTISM
We believe in baptism in water by immersion. (Matthew 28:19, Colossians 2:12)
-
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (Luke 24:49, Acts 2:4, Acts 10:44-46, Hebrews 13:8, 1 Corinthians 12:7-11)
-
THE BODY OF CHRIST
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:12-26, Ephesians 2:19-22).
-
LIFESTYLE & WORSHIP
Right living, giving and loving others are a vital part of the life and worship of disciples of Christ. We also believe that sex is sacred and designed to both distinguish & strengthen the marriage bond between one man and one woman – as revealed in scripture – while maintaining celibacy in all other relationships. While we love, invite and welcome all to attend our church services, Ambassadors are only eligible for ordination and to serve in elective or appointed ministries if their lifestyle, personal beliefs, and sexual lives reflect the fruit of true grace. (Hebrews 12:14, Proverbs 3:9, Malachi 3:8-10, Luke 6:38, Hebrews 7:8, Matthew 22:36-40; 23:23)
-
THE RESURRECTION
We believe the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. The saved unto the resurrection of life, and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (Luke 16:19-31, Mark 16:16, Mark 16:16, Revelation 20:11-15)
-
THE LORD′S SUPPER
We believe in the participation in the Lord’s Supper through receiving the communion elements and all they represent. (Luke 22:19, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
