TENETS OF FAITH

WE BELIEVE IN:

Holy Ghost Baptism - An additional work of
God, beyond the work of the Spirit baptizing us
into the Body of Christ during rebirth. A
necessary work in order to experience a full and
victorious Christian walk. Usually accompanied
by an initial manifestation of speaking in tongues.
The primary purpose of the baptism is to give us supernatural
power to equip us Servant Warriors in the ministry of Jesus Christ.
John 20: 19-23, Acts 1: 4-2:18

Water Baptism - An ordinance of the Church, symbolizing to the world that one has died to sin, with Christ & is buried with Him in the watery grave; and is raised to walk with Him in the newness of life. As circumcision was the sign of the old covenant, water baptism IS THE SIGN OF THE NEW COVENANT between God and man. Genesis 9: 1-14, Colossians 2: 8-15, Romans 2: 28-29, Romans 6: 3-13

Holy Communion (Lord's Supper) - An ordinance of the Church, symbolizing the broken body & spilled blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. As Passover was the celebration of the old covenant, Holy Communion IS THE CELEBRATION OF THE NEW COVENANT between God and man. Exodus 12: 1-28,
Matthew 26: 17-30, Mark 14: 12-25, Luke 22: 1-20

The Church - The Body of Christ; the home of God through the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. Each believer born of God's Spirit is an integral part of the general assembly of the saints & Church of the first-born, which is written in Heaven. Hebrews 12: 23;
Ephesians 1: 15-23; I Corinthians 12: 1-27, 3: 16-17

Women in Ministry - The Body of Christ is neither male nor female. Women are functioning members with gifts differing according to the grace that is in them. God declared that He would pour out of His Spirit upon ALL flesh.
Joel 2: 28-29, Acts 18: 24-26, Acts 21: 8-9, Galatians 3: 26-29

Total Prosperity - Total success and total health; spirit, soul & body. Spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially.
III John 2, Malachi 3: 10-11, II Timothy 1: 7, Isaiah 53: 4-5, Proverbs 3: 4

The Rapture of the Church - I Corinthians 15: 1-58,
I Thessalonians 4: 13-18 , Titus 2: 1-15

The Millennial Reign of Christ - Revelation 19: 11-16 & 20: 1-7

Eternity & Lake of Fire - Revelation 19: 19-20 & 20: 2-7, 10-15

The OASIS where God is equipping and refreshing
His SERVANT WARRIORS
& sending them out into the harvest
