Statement of Faith

Copyright © AriseandShine.Org 
Written by David Berkowitz

We believe in the following:


1. The Bible is the inspired, infallible and the only authoritative Word of God (II Timothy 3:16).

2. There is One God who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That Jesus Christ is both True God and True Man. That Jesus (Yeshua) is the Messiah of the Jews, and is both Savior of Jews and Gentiles, being that He is the sinless "Passover Lamb."

3. In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ encompassing His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His power over death and the grave, and the atoning sacrifice He provided for us through His shed blood.

4. That the Lord Jesus has provided salvation for us, was resurrected     from the grave, was received up to glory, and now sits at the right hand of the Father where he continually makes intercession for His children.

5. We also believe in the rapture of the church which could happen at any time catching away and instantly removing all "born again" believers from the earth to forever be with Christ in heaven.

6. In the coming judgments for:
    a) all Christians at the Judgment seat of Christ
    b) all "unsaved" Christ-rejecters at the great White Throne Judgment
    c) in a future judgment of the nations as explained in the Scriptures

7. We believe in a literal heaven where God, His angels, and Christ's redeemed people shall live forever. And in a literal hell as well as a "Lake of Fire" where all those who reject God's free gift of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ will likewise go, forever.

8. In the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, His inward work of regeneration in the life of every Christian enabling us to live a life that is pleasing to God.

9. In the ordinances of the church which consists of Communion (the Lord's Supper), and in water baptism in which one who has placed his faith in Jesus makes a public profession of his faith, if possible, by being fully immersed in water.

10. That every Christian should become part of a local church body where the Word of God is soundly taught and where prayer, Bible study, evangelism and fellowship are emphasized.

11. That salvation and the forgiveness of sins comes from repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

12. That God is an eternal and divine Being of love, mercy, grace, hope and justice who has created all things for His good pleasure and for His own good purpose, and that He has the best of intentions toward humanity, and toward all living creatures.
