WE HERE AT LOVING FAITH FELLOWSHIP HAVE WHAT WE CALL OUR FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS.  HERE IS WHAT WE BELIEVE:

THAT THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD. ALL DOCTRINE MUST AGREE WITH THE WHOLE CONTEXT OF SCRIPTURE.

THAT THERE IS ONE GOD IN THREE PERSONS: THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS REFERRED TO AS THE TRINITY.

THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD, BORN OF A VIRGIN, DIED FOR OUR SINS AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY.  HE IS NOW SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER IN HEAVEN.

THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK AGAIN IN THE CLOUDS TO GET THE CHURCH, THIS IS REFERRED TO AS THE “CATCHING AWAY” AND THE “BLESSED HOPE” IN THE SCRIPTURES AND IS ALSO CALLED THE “RAPTURE.”

THAT YOU MUST BE SAVED (BORN AGAIN, CONVERTED, ALL THESE WORDS MEANING THE SAME) BEFORE YOU CAN GO TO HEAVEN. THIS MEANS THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ARE A SINNER AND CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF, YOU REPENT OF YOUR SINS, AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST INTO YOU HEART AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR.

THAT WATER BAPTISM SHOULD ACCOMPANY CONVERSION, ALONG WITH PARTAKING OF THE LORD’S SUPPER. THESE BEING THE TWO ORDINANCES JESUS LEFT US WITH.

GETTING FILLED AND STAYING FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT…THAT EVERY BELIEVER CAN AND SHOULD PRAY IN TONGUES. THIS IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.

IN THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ACCORDING TO ROMANS 12 AND 1 CORINTHIANS 12 – NOT ONLY THAT THEY WORKED IN THE PAST– BUT THEY ARE ACTIVE TODAY, AS GOD WILLS.

IN THE LAYING ON OF HANDS AND ANOINTING WITH OIL FOR DIVINE HEALING.

IN THE ETERNAL SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER, BUT WE DO NOT ENCOURAGE THE TEACHING THAT YOU CAN GO TO HEAVEN NOT MATTER WHAT YOU DO, OR DO NOT DO, AS LONG AS YOU ARE SAVED.

THERE IS A SPIRITUAL REALM BEYOND OUR SENSES. THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH AND EVERY PERSON WILL GO TO EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL FOR ETERNITY AFTER THIS LIFE IS OVER.

THAT WE ARE TO BE TENDERHEARTED – FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST HAS FORGIVEN US. IF WE DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANYONE IN THE CHURCH, WE ARE TO GO TO THEM PERSONALLY AND TALK IN PRIVATE.
