What We Believe
There are three primary experiences of the Christian life: Salvation, Water Baptism, and Holy Spirit Baptism.
1. Salvation
-
Salvation is initiated by a prayer of faith in Jesus.
-
Salvation is completed by God's grace.
-
Salvation is maintained by a lifestyle of Biblical righteousness.
-
Salvation is demonstrated by works.
-
Salvation is lost when we sin and do not repent.
-
Salvation is necessary to enter Heaven in eternity.
2. Water Baptism
-
Water Baptism was exemplified by Christ.
-
Water Baptism is not necessary to be saved, but is definitely an important Christian experience not to be ignored.
-
Water Baptism is a public demonstration of faith in Jesus Christ.
-
Water Baptism is executed in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
3. Holy Spirit Baptism
-
Holy Spirit Baptism is evidenced by speaking in tongues. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:45–46)
-
Holy Spirit Baptism is an experience different and distinct from Salvation or Water Baptism. (Acts 1:5; Acts 10:44)
