It would be difficult for me to tell you all that I believe without quoting the majority of the New Testament. Following is a brief summary of what I believe:
- I believe the bible to be the inspired and true word of God, infallible and authoritative.
- I believe in the Triune God, that He exists as three separate persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary and lived a sinless life as he walked among us and that he demonstrated God's authority and power in all he did, that he died on the cross, rose again on the third day and is now seated at the right hand of God having accomplished all that was necessary for man's salvation.
- I believe it is essential for man to have a personal relationship with God, which is made possible through repentance, faith, water baptism, and baptism of the Holy Spirit.
- I believe the Holy Spirit empowers people to live a godly life and continue the work of Jesus Christ through signs and wonders.
- I believe that God has commissioned all believers to preach the good news (gospel) to all. I believe that each of us is the church who are born again believers in Jesus Christ.
- I believe that Jesus Christ will return again and those that believe in Him will be resurrected to a heavenly dwelling in an incorruptible body. Those that do not believe will be with satan for all eternity.
