- in the Holy Trinity, that God is three in one. Jesus is the long promised and awaited Messiah and the son of God. We also believe that the account in Acts 2 is the fulfillment of Joel 2: 28 and that the Holy Spirit has been poured out as was foretold and promised.
- that God wishes to have a close, personal relationship with every person on earth and that He has provided the means through which to do this in the person of Jesus who is Christ.
- in the gifts which come with being filled with the Holy Spirit, including diverse languages and speaking in tongues.
- in the healing power of God.
- in tithing. We personally tithe and give offerings above and beyond the tithe because we recognize God as the premier giver and wish to emulate His kindness. The ministry also tithes and has since its inception.
- that the love of God is the most powerful force in the universe and the preeminent message, not only of scripture, but also of the Father, for God is first and foremost a loving father, and this is the image and message that He wishes conveyed to the world.
- the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and it has the power to change lives for the better because The Word is actually Jesus (John 1: 1).
- that the Holy Spirit is still inspiring people today, and we rely on that inspiration for our own edification and for that which we disseminate to others.
- that faith and science are not at odds with one another, only that our ignorance prevents our seeing their conjunction. An honest searcher of truth will find the Father and will discover that He is the power that holds the universe and us together. Science will prove what the Father has been telling us all along, or we can take the shortcut and just believe His Word.
- that proofs, either logical or scientific, are not necessary in order to believe in Yahweh.
- that, as Christians, we are siblings of Jews and, though adopted into the family of God, that we have all the rights and privileges of any heir with Christ. Because we have been adopted into the family of Abraham, we also believe that the Old Testament truths and promises are as applicable to us today as they ever were.
- that God is still speaking to His people today and that all of the manifestations of His power and His Spirit are for today.
- a spiritual realm exists, of which we are a part, and we believe there are real beings, spirit beings, which inhabit this realm. God is a spirit, and clearly the Holy Spirit is too. Additionally, there are angels, demons and a devil named Satan, but we also believe that Jesus has gained the victory over all of the schemes of the evil one and that God’s children are fully able to live in victory in this life, as well as the life to come.
- we are not old sinners, but rather the redeemed.
- in grace, and we stand firmly on Jesus’ shed blood and everything it has done for us, and we give all of the honor and glory to the Father, Son and Spirit for restoring us. We also believe in living in the power of the Holy Spirit, so that we do not bring shame to the blood.
- in unity in the Spirit. Although this is a non-denominational ministry it may also be called an all-denominational or inter-denomination ministry for two reasons. First, everyone is welcome. We do not discriminate on any basis, much less on denominational grounds. Secondly, there are few people who have not been influenced by various Christian ethos and we recognize that many denominations have influenced our experiences and lives, and we do not wish to negate those experiences.
