But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today,
so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.
Hebrews 3:13 NIV

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ His only Son, my Lord;   Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

As scripture states, I believe that all scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

I am orthodox Christian in doctrine and Pentecostal in practice: Jesus Christ is the only source of salvation and redemption; the Gifts of the Spirit are available today for the edification of the body of Christ.

I believe in the five-fold ministry of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher who are gifts from God to be servants of the body of Christ, the church, for the purpose of equipping the body for the work of ministry.

I believe the Holy Spirit progressively sanctifies me and provides me the ability to avoid persistent, unrepented willful sins as identified in scripture. I recognize that sin separates me from God.

I will support the church as the Lord directs and involve myself as appropriate and as I am able.
