1. We believe in the Trinity: God the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
From the beginning of creation in Genesis to the end of times in Revelation, God refers to Himself as "us" or "our" and thus describes the doctrine of the Trinity. The word trinity comes from "tri" meaning three and "unity" meaning one. God is three distinct individuals - God the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit - in one true God.
It can be a difficult concept to grasp, yet we can believe God's word and know that while His ways are higher than ours, we can trust in Him!
2 Corinthians 13:14
“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
Matthew 28:19
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”
2. We believe in Salvation through accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Jesus died for us, rose again and guaranteed us eternal life through his sacrifice.
Bible verses about salvation explain the importance of embracing God’s love for us and believing in Jesus with our whole hearts.
Jesus died for us, loves us and wants us to seek a relationship with Him.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
This verse captures the heart of the gospel: That Jesus died for us, loves us and that eternal life is a free gift.
Accepting Jesus’ Sacrifice Is Essential:
John 3:3
“Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Jesus, in his own words, revealed the essentiality of believing in him. In fact, he said in this verse that no one can see heaven unless he or she becomes “born again.”
3. We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are unique skills and abilities given by the Holy Spirit to faithful followers of Christ to serve God for the common benefit of his people, the church.
These abilities, often termed "charismatic gifts", are the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, the gifts of healing, the gift of miracles, prophecy, the discernment of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11
"There are different kinds of gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit. There are different ways to serve but the same Lord to serve. And there are different ways that God works through people but the same God. God works in all of us in everything we do. Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person, for the common good. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom, and the same Spirit gives another the ability to speak with knowledge. The same Spirit gives faith to one person. And, to another, that one Spirit gives gifts of healing. The Spirit gives to another person the power to do miracles, to another the ability to prophesy. And he gives to another the ability to know the difference between good and evil spirits. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages and to another the ability to interpret those languages. One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things, and the Spirit decides what to give each person."
Isaiah 11:2
"The Spirit will give him wisdom and understanding, guidance and power. The Spirit will teach him to know and respect the Lord.”
Ephesians 4:11-12
“Christ gave gifts to people—he made some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to go and tell the Good News, and some to have the work of caring for and teaching God’s people. Christ gave those gifts to prepare God’s holy people for the work of serving, to make the body of Christ stronger. ”
