Christ Bearer Ministries

---

We believe in one eternal God who exists as three separate persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are equally Divine and therefore equally deity. 

(1 John 5:7-8; Matt. 1:20-25; 2 Corinthians 13:14) 

We believe the Bible is God-inspired and is to be the authoritative rule of life and practice for all Christians. We believe that the Old Testament was the type and shadow of better things to come and that the New Testament is the perfect expression of God’s will and character as expressed through Jesus Christ.

(2 Tim. 3:16-17; Heb. 1:1-3; John 10:35; Matt. 5:19; Matt. 19:17; 1 John 2:3-4)

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life as He walked the earth, demonstrated the authority and power of God in works and speech, died on the cross, rose from the dead on the third day, and is now seated at the right hand of God having accomplished all that is necessary for humankind’s salvation.

(John 10:18; John 10:25-30; Mark 14:36; Mark 14:61-62; Luke 1:32; Luke 1:35; Luke 4:41; Mark 3:11; John 1:34; Matt. 14:33; Matt. 16:15-16; Luke 1:34-35; Matt. 3:16-17; Matt. 17:5; John 1:1-2,14; Rom. 1:4; Rom. 6:4; Matt. 28:5-7; Luke 24:6-7; 1 Peter 3:22; Heb. 1:3-4; Heb. 12:1-2; Eph. 1:20–23; Acts 7:55)

We believe that whatsoever is not of faith is sin and that our sin has been forgiven and not imputed unto us. We believe that if we sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, which will cleanse us of all unrighteousness. We believe it is essential for each person to repent of sin and by faith receive the finished work of Christ, by confessing Him as Lord with their mouth and believing in their heart, resulting in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. 

(Rom. 4:8; 6:14; 14:23; 1 John 1:9-2:1; John 14:6; Rom. 10:9-10)

We believe the Holy Spirit is continuing the work Jesus started at Pentecost, empowering believers to live a godly life and continue in all the works of Jesus. We believe that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live a life pleasing unto God, to do the works of Christ, and to meet the needs of all humanity.

(John 14:12; 16:7-16; Acts 1:8)

We believe that the judgment of God has been passed unto Jesus. That God is not judging anyone at this time. There is a day of judgment but it is not today. 

(John 5:22; 12:47-48; Acts 17:30-31; 1 Co. 6:2)

We believe in the imminent return of Jesus and that those who have believed in Him will be resurrected to a heavenly dwelling in an incorruptible body, and those who do not believe will join Satan and his host in everlasting punishment. 

(Matt. 24:26–31; Matt. 24:36-44; Luke 21:25–28; John 5:28–29; 1 Thess. 4:16–17; Rev. 1:7; Heb. 9:27–28; 1 Thess. 5:1–3; 1 Co. 15:51–52; John 14:1–3)

We believe the true Church is composed of all born-again believers in Christ, regardless of denominational affiliation. We believe all born-again believers have been called to share the complete Gospel with all the world. We believe that the Christian Mission is to: Love God in thought, word, and deed & to love your neighbor as yourself. Your love for God and man will be demonstrated by reproducing disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, both domestically and in foreign lands by every Biblical method. 

(Matt. 22:36-40; Mark 12:30-31; Matt. 28:18-20)
