Repentance and Salvation

 

We believe the only means of salvation is repentance of sin and faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. (Eph. 1:7, 1 John 1:7-9, Luke 13:3) We believe that all who call upon the name of Jesus Christ in faith, believing that God raised Him from the dead, shall be saved.  We believe Jesus has gone to prepare a place in heaven for all believers.

 

(Rom. 10:9, John 14:1-4) We believe all who do not know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior are lost and separated from God.

 

(Rom. 3:23, John 3:16-18)

 

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

 

We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is an experience subsequent to the baptism of salvation.  The Holy Spirit empowers the believer to witness and to do the works of Jesus Christ.  This baptism is available to all who asks and receive by faith.

 

(Acts 1:8, 2:4, Heb. 2:4)

 

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit

 

We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit as described in 1 Corinthians 12:8-11: word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues.
