    Spirit of Faith Church Ordination Process

    TENETS
    THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE

    We Believe…

    THE SCRIPTURES – The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of
    old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as
    recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining
    to conduct and doctrine (2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).

    We Believe…

    THE GODHEAD – Our God is One, but manifested in three Persons: God the Father is
    greater than all; the Sender of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter (John 14:28; John
    16:28; John 1:14). The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten, and has
    existed with the Father from the beginning (John 1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14). The Holy
    Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 14:16; John
    15:26).

    We Believe…

    MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION – Man is a created being, made in the likeness
    and image of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world.
    The Bible says “…all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” and “…There is
    none righteous, no, not one.” (Rom. 3:10; 3:23). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was
    manifested to undo the works of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to
    redeem and restore man back to God (Rom. 5:14; 1 John 3:8). Salvation is the gift of
    God to man, separate from works and the Law, and is made operative by grace through
    faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God (Eph. 2:8-10).

    We Believe…

    ETERNAL LIFE AND THE NEW BIRTH – Man’s first step toward salvation is godly
    sorrow that worketh repentance. The new birth is necessary to all men, and when
    experienced, produces eternal life (2 Cor. 7:10; John 3:3-5; 1 John 5:12).

    We Believe…

    WATER BAPTISM – Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct commandment of our


    Lord, and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification
    with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts
    8:36-39).

    We Believe…

    BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST – The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from
    God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is
    received subsequent to the new birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial
    evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (Matt.
    3:11; John 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:1-7; Acts 2:1-4).

    We Believe…

    SANCTIFICATION – The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord.
    We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace,
    commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of
    salvation at Christ’s return (Heb. 12:14; 1 Thess. 5:23; 2 Peter 3:18; 2 Cor. 3:18; Phil.
    3:12-14; 1 Cor. 1:30).

    We Believe…

    DIVINE HEALING – Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by
    the power of God through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands. It is
    provided for in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the
    Church today (James 5:14,15; Mark 16:18; Isa. 53:4,5; Matt. 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24).

    We Believe…

    RESURRECTION OF THE JUST AND THE RETURN OF OUR LORD – The angels
    said to Jesus’ disciples, “…this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven,
    shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” His coming is
    imminent. When He comes, “…the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are
    alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in
    the air…” (Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4:16,17).

    Following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of kings, and Lord of lords,
    and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousand
    years (Rev. 5:10;20:6).

    We Believe…

    HELL AND ETERNAL RETRIBUTION – The one who physically dies in his sins without
    accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the lake of fire and, therefore, has no
    further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. The lake of fire is literal. The
    terms “eternal” and “everlasting,” used in describing the duration of the punishment of
    the damned in the lake of fire, carry the same thought and meaning of endless
    existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of saints in the Presence
    of God (Heb. 9:27; Rev. 19:20).
