What Do I believe?
I believe that God exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are one. God is without beginning or end, is not created Himself but the Creator of everything.
I believe that the Son became man in the person of Jesus the Messiah, born of a virgin.
I
believe that Jesus came to earth to restore the relationship between
God and man broken by sin and that He is the only way to do so. I believe that Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life in our place, died on the cross and rose from the dead.
I believe that Jesus is alive and that He will return to earth as He
has promised. I believe that God wants to dwell in man through his
Spirit. This indwelling enables man to produce spiritual fruit in
character and to grow spiritually.
I
believe that the Holy Spirit wants to give every believer everything
that is necessary to live a life of service to God and people. I
believe that God created man in his image, as male and female. I
believe that God loves all people and that He desires to have a personal
relationship with every person. I believe that we humans are naturally
separate and alienated from God through sin and therefore miss His
purpose for our lives. I believe that the broken relationship between
God and people is restored by grace on God's part, but is only restored
on our part if we choose to do so by believing in Jesus the Messiah and
repenting of sin. I
believe that we must be baptized in water and filled with the power of
the Holy Spirit in order to live life as intended by God.
I believe in life after death and that we will spend eternity with God
(Heaven) or separated from God (Hell) depending on whether or not we
accept Jesus the Messiah during our life on earth. I believe that the
Bible in its original language was inspired by God to people and is
therefore infallible, with the highest authority in all matters of faith
and life.
For those who hesitate in their relation to God are the double-minded, and they never obtain any of their requests.
