Upcoming Church Service 03/30/25

• We believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
• We believe Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary.
• We believe Jesus was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead.
• We believe He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
• We believe in the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and everlasting life.
• ​We believe that there is no other name or person but Jesus Christ, by which a person can be saved.
• We believe in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and with the evidence of speaking with new tongues.
• We believe not one soul should perish into eternity without Jesus, but that all should be saved.
• We believe in the Great Commission. "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.  He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover". Mark 16:15-18
• ​Acts 5:42; "And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ."
• We believe that the doctrine of ‘eternal security’ or ‘once saved always saved’ is not true. Every Christian still has a free will to keep walking with Christ or to turn away. It’s what one does and how they live between being born again and dying that counts. It’s not how you start the race by becoming born again, but how you finish the race. We’re to run the race (the Christian life) with perseverance and not look back so that we cross the finish line victorious and win the prize (2 Timothy 4:7). Works of righteousness need to accompany our faith in Jesus Christ because faith without works is dead (James 2:20). God’s grace is made available to every Christian to resist temptations when they come as we know the devil is relentless in coming to rob, steal and destroy, ultimately to get them to back-slide (John 10:10).

Here are a number of Bible scriptures to back that up;

• Hebrews 6:4-6;  “4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 [a]if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.”
• 2 Peter 2:20; “For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.”
• 2 Corinthians 13:5; “ Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you [a]are disqualified.”
• Luke 9:62; “But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
•  Matthew 7:21-23; “21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
