For His Glory Christian

General information

Our Doctrinal Statement: These are non-negotiable tenets of faith that For His Glory Christian Assembly adheres to.

1.) We believe... the scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.

2.) We believe... there is only one true God-revealed in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the trinity).

3.) We believe... in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's song Jesus was both human and divine.

4.) We believe... though originally good, man willingly fell to sin-ushering evil and death, both physically and spiritual, into the world.

5.) We believe...every person can have restored fellowship with God through 'salvation.' (trusting in Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior.)

6.) We believe...and practice two ordinances-- (1) Water baptism by immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christi's gift of salvation and, (2) Holy Communion, or the Lord's Supper, as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.

7.) We believe... the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.

8.) We believe... the initial physical evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit is 'speaking in tongues,' as experienced in the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.

9.) We believe... sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that is believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.

10.) We Believe... the Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.

11.) We believe... diving healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins.)

12.) We believe... in the Blessed Hope-- when Jesus raptures His church prior to His return to the earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers will rise from their graves and meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.

13.) We believe... in the Millennial Reign of Christ, when Jesus returns with His saints at His Second Coming and begins His benevolent rule over the earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.

14.) We believe... a final judgement will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sins and consigned to eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
