What We Believe

The following are core beliefs of Christian Fellowship Church Ministries that relate to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  

We Believe that there is one God; He is a spirit, the Father and Creator, of all that exists. That there are three that bear record in Heaven; the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
(Deuteronomy 6:4, Ephesians 4:4-6, John 4:24, John 1:1-3, Genesis 1 and 2, 
1 John 5:7, Isaiah 43:10-15, Isaiah 44:6-8, Isaiah 45:5-8, 21-23) 

We believe that mankind fell into sin through the transgression of Adam, and that mankind is redeemed from sin through the obedience and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever would believe in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(Genesis 2:16-17, Genesis 3:1-3,6,22-24, Romans 5:12-19, John 3:16,36) 

We believe that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah); the Son of God. Born of the Holy Ghost through a chosen virgin, manifested God’s words and works, died to bare the sins of the world, resurrected from the dead to be the first fruits of those that continue in His doctrine, redeeming the souls of those fallen in sin.
(Matthew 16:15-20, John 4:25-26, Matthew 1:18-23, John 14:9-10, 1 Peter 2:21-25, John 1:29, John 4:42, Luke 24:46-47, Acts 26:23, John 8:31-32, Titus 2:11-14, Romans 3:22-26, 1 Timothy 3:16)

We believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news that Christ died for our sins, and rose again from the dead to be the intercessor between God and man.
(1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 1 Timothy 2:5-6, Romans 8:31-39)

We believe that the only way for a person to have their sins remitted and ascend into eternal life, is through Jesus Christ. Salvation is only through the blood of Christ; there is no other faith, religion or path, that will bring a soul to eternal life.
(John 10:1-9, Acts 4:10-12, Romans 3:24-26, Luke 24:47, Hebrews 9:27-28, John 14:6, John 8:24)

We believe that there is a Lake of Fire prepared for the Devil and his followers. All who are not found written in the Book of Life, at the Great White Throne judgment, will be cast into it. We believe to be found in the Book of Life, a person must be found in God’s righteousness through Christ. We believe that a person must endure in Christ to be saved. We believe that the rest of mankind will be judged after death.
(1 Peter 4:17-19, Rev 3:5, Exodus 32:32-33, Deuteronomy 29:20, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Matthew 24:12-13, Galatians 5:1-5, 2 Peter 2:19-22,
2 Peter 1:4-11, Hebrews 12:15, Hebrews 27-28)

We believe that the loving Grace of God towards mankind is extended to all through eternal soul-salvation in Jesus Christ. Salvation is personally obtained through a person’s faith and obedience to the doctrine of Christ. A person may be in the righteous judgment of God by: repenting of their sins, and applying Jesus Christ in water baptism; being born again of the water and of the spirit. Baptism is to be performed by total emersion in water, and using the name of the Lord Jesus. Therein; the blood, spirit and resurrection of Christ, make the believer free from the bondage of sin and death.
(Titus 2:11-14, Colossians 2:8, Romans 25-30, Galatians 3:8,14, John 14:15, 21, 1 John 2:3, 1 John 3:22-24, 1 John 5:2-12, Luke 13:3-5, Acts 2:38, Acts 4:10-12, Acts 8:36-38, Acts 17:30, Romans 6:1-11, Galatians 3:26-27, John 3:3-7, 1 Peter 1:23, Colossians 2:8-15, Romans 6:17-23)

We believe in the return of Christ; wherein He will gather together His redeemed throughout His kingdom and through the ages, and will ascend together with Christ unto eternal life in heaven.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, Matthew 24:27-31, 1 Thessalonians 3:13, 1 Corinthians 15:23-24, John 5:25-29)

We understand that there is a spiritual battle waged by evil for the souls of every person. We perceive by the Word of God, that those which are not walking in obedience to the doctrine of Christ, are in an unrighteous condition, and are therefore in need of God’s redemption through Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 6:10-13, 1 Corinthians 10:13, James 1:2-8)

We believe that Christ has commissioned all believers to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all mankind. Those that believe, repent of their sins, and are baptized, shall be saved. Those that are not in obedience to the doctrine of Christ are not in a saved condition and will therefore be lost judged by their own works on judgment day.
(Mark 16:15-16, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 10:42, 2 Timothy 4:1,
2 Corinthians 4:1-6, Luke 24:47, Acts 2:38, John 3:16-21,
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. We trust in the Bible to provide answers to life’s questions. The words that Jesus spoke and taught (the doctrine of Christ) are spiritual and guide believers unto eternal life.
(2 Peter 1:19-21, 2 Timothy 3:15-17, John 6:63, 1 Timothy 4:15-16, John 17:17, 2 Timothy 2:15, Hebrews 4:12, Romans 3:4, Psalms 119:105)

We believe and rely on Christ for giving direction and correction within our hearts through the Word of God. We believe that the Holy Ghost provides conviction and spiritual guidance.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17, John 14:26, 1 Timothy 1:5, Hebrews 4:10-16, Romans 5:5, 2 Corinthians 4:6-10, 1 Thessalonians 2:4-8)

We believe that the Holy Ghost dwells within every true believer, teaching and comforting us through all of life’s trials. We believe that those that endure and remain faithful to God will be blessed with eternal life and rewards that will never fade away.
(Acts 2:38-39, Romans 6:4, Romans 7:6, Romans 8:9-11, Matthew 11:28-30, Hebrews 12:25, 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Peter 1:2-11)
