~ Personal Statement of Faith ~

I accepted Christ on April 29th, 2009 and currently attend an Independent Pentecostal Church.

I have also accepted the call to preach God's Word.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe that the Bible IS the infallible, inspired, inerrant Word of God.

I believe in one God, distinctly existing in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

I believe in Salvation as a free gift from God, and is by means the only way to Heaven. That it is obtainable by grace through faith and faith ALONE.

I believe in water baptism administered to the BELIEVER as a symbol of purity and righteousness. However, is NOT required FOR salvation.

I believe in the gifts of the Spirit administered to those who desire and pray for them. (1 Cor. 12-14)

I believe in the rapture (or, lit. catching away) of the Church, which is distinct from Christ's Second Coming, following a literal 1000 year reign with Him on earth, and then The Judgement of the entire world.

I believe in a literal Hell, that it was not made nor intended as a place of torment for man, but for Satan (the accuser of the brethren). However, through sin it has become a place of judgement for the sinner.

I believe that God IS love, and that He sent His only begotten Son to save the world as a manifestation of that love, and that whosoever will may recieve the gift of salvation apart from works of ''righteousness'' and that God Is for you!

-God Bless!
