BELIEFS
What The House of Faith Church Believes
HOUSE OF FAITH BELIEFS & THE FOUNDATION OF OUR FAITH
1) THE SCRIPTURES INSPIRED The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to men, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason (2 Timothy 3:15 – 17; 1 Peter 1:23 – 25; Hebrews 4:12).
2) THE ONE TRUE GOD The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed “I AM,” and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, by simultaneously existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isaiah 43:10, 11; Matthew 28:19).
3) MAN: HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in our image and after our likeness.” Man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Genesis 1:26 – 31; Genesis 3:17; Romans 5:12-21).
4) THE SALVATION OF MAN
a) Conditions of Salvation
The Grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance toward God and through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, and being justified by grace, has become heir of God according to the hope of eternal life (Titus 2:11; 3:5 – 7; Romans 10:13 – 15; Luke 24:47).
b) Evidences of Salvation
The inward evidence to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:1 – 7, 2 Timothy 1:9).
5) BAPTISM IN WATER The ordinance of baptism by burial with Christ should be observed (as commanded in the Scriptures) by all that have repented of their sins and in their hearts have believed on Christ as their Savior and Lord. In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have also been released to walk with Him in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4).
6) THE LORD’S SUPPER (COMMUNION) The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing in a memorial to His suffering and death, and prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined to all believers “until He comes” (John 6:48, 51, 53 – 57; Luke 22:19, 20; 1 Corinthians 11:25).
7) THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER All believers should ardently expect and earnestly seek the Promise of the Father, which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit. With it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4 – 8; 1 Corinthians 12:1 – 31). This experience may be distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the New Birth (Acts 2:38 & 39; 10:44 – 46; 11:14 – 16; 15:7 – 9).
8) SANCTIFICATION PROCESS By the power of the Holy Spirit we strive to obey the command, “Be ye holy, for I am holy.” Sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15, 16; 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 24; 1 John 2:6).
9) THE CHURCH The church is the holy Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her (the body of Christ) great commission. Each believer is an integral part of the church, and their names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.(Romans 12:5; 1 Corinthians 12:17)
10) MINISTRY Divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a two-fold purpose: (1) The evangelization of the world, and (2) The edification of the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13).
11) DIVINE HEALING Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4 – 6; Matthew 8:16, 17; Mark 16:18; John 5:14).
12) THE BLESSED HOPE The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation, together with those who are alive and remain unto the Lord, is imminent and is the blessed hope of the church (1 Thessalonians 4:16; Romans 6:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52).
13) THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF JESUS The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven, the salvation of national Israel, and the millennial reign of Christ on the earth are scriptural promises and our hope (2 Thessalonians 1:7; Revelation 19:11 – 16; Romans 11:25; Revelation 20:l – 7).
14) THE LAKE OF FIRE The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and whosoever is not found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Revelation 19:20; 20:10 – 15).
15) THE NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH We, as promised in the Scriptures, look forward to a new heaven and a new earth and New Jerusalem wherein righteousness dwells (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1).
