THE SCRIPTURES
We believe that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God" (II Timothy 3:16-17), and we understand
this to mean that the whole Bible is inspired in that holy men of God "were moved by the Holy Spirit"
(II Peter 1:21) to write the very words of Scripture. We believe this to mean that, the whole of Scripture
as it appeared in the original manuscripts is inerrant, , absolute, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
THE TRIUNE GODHEAD
We believe in one God (Mark 12:29) eternally existing (John 1:1-4) in three persons (II
Corinthians 13:14, I John 5:7-8), namely Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That God ,as supreme, alone
possesses the qualities of being; a. Omnipresent, b. Omniscience, c. Omnipotent VIRGIN BIRTH.
We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:27-35), born of the Virgin Mary
(Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18) and was truly the Son of Man (John 12:34) and the Son of God (Luke 1:35).
THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
(Romans 10:9-10) We believe in the literal resurrection of the crucified body of the Lord Jesus
Christ (Romans 4:24-25), that He ascended into heaven (Acts 1:10-11) and is presently in heaven acting
on behalf of believers as their High Priest and Advocate (Hebrews 4:14-15).
MAN CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD
We believe that man was created by and in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27, John 1:3) and that
man sinned, and in his natural state is lost, alienated from God and incapable of attaining salvation
by any personal effort or merit (Romans 3:24-25).
ATONEMENT FOR SINS
We believe that Christ died as a sacrifice for our sins and that, because He shed His blood, the
salvation of man is a free gift of God by grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and his death
for us (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9).
SALVATION
We believe that salvation is a free gift by God's grace through faith without works of any
kind (Ephesians 2:8-9), that all who accept the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again by the Holy
Spirit and become the children of God (John 1:12)
WATER BAPTISM
That water baptism is essential to our obedience after our reconciliation with God. That baptism is
one immersion(not three)" in the name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" as Jesus commanded
(Matt. 28:19; Acts 2:38 )
THE LORD'S SUPPER
That the Lord's supper was instituted by Jesus Christ that all believers might partake thereof
regularly to" show the Lord's return till He comes". The emblems used are "unleavened bread" and the
juice or "fruit of the vine ". Anyone who eats unworthily brings "damnation", punishment and chastisement
upon himself ( Matt. 26:26-29;1Cor.11:23-30)
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Christian life is impossible apart from the indwelling presence and enabling of
the Holy Spirit. Simultaneous to our salvation we were 'sealed by the Holy Spirit for the day of
redemption' (Ephesians 4:30), we were "baptized by One Spirit into one body" (I Corinthians 12:13), and we
are to live each day in the fullness of the Holy Spirit by yielding all that we are to his control
(Ephesians 5:18). The Holy Spirit equips us to live holy lives, producing the 'fruit of the Spirit'
(Galatians 5: 22-23), and giving Spiritual Gifts to enable us to serve God effectively by bringing
blessing to others (I Corinthians 12:4-7). . We are warned not to "grieve the Holy Spirit" by sinful
activity (Ephesians 4:30) and therefore to confess our sin in order to maintain a wholesome and effective
relationship with God (1 John 1:9).
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the enduement of power from on High upon the sanctified believer.
It is the 'promise of the father' and when one receives the 'baptism of the Holy Spirit' it is accompanied
by the initial sign of speaking a language unlearned previously, referred to as speaking in tongues as
the spirit gives utterance.
THE CHRISTIAN WALK
We believe that the Christian is called with a holy calling to live and identify with and serve through
a local church to fulfill the great commission to go, teach, baptize and do the Lord's work until He returns.
BODILY RETURN OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the personal bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 1:9-11) to set up His
kingdom (Titus 2:13).
BODILY RESURRECTION OF THE JUST AND THE UNJUST
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust (John 5:28-29; Daniel 12:2),
the everlasting blessing of the believer (the just) (Romans 8:23; I Corinthians 15) and the everlasting
conscious punishment of the unbeliever (the unjust) (Psalm 90:3-4; Revelation 20:12-15; Matthew 25:31-46).
REDEMPTION FRON THE CURSE
That redemption from the curse of the law, healing of sicknesses and diseases as well as continued
health are provided for all people through the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross; Ex.15:26;
Psa.103:1-5; Isa.53:4,5;Jn.10:10;Acts 10:38; Gal.3:13,14
THE GREAT COMMISSION
We believe that, until the return of Christ, it is the Christian's privilege and duty and the
supreme task of the Church to evangelize the world (Matthew 28:18-10; Acts 1:8). Every subsidiary ministry
of The Freedom Center Church must actively support the work of world evangelism (Acts 5:42).
