Spoken Word of Faith Church
What We Believe
We believe in one God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, was crucified, died and was buried; He was resurrected, ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is true God and true man.
We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct.
Statement of Faith
- We confess our faith in the one true God, the Almighty Father, His only Son, and the Holy Spirit, who together brought all of creation into being.
- We trust in Jesus Christ, the unique Son of God. He was brought into the world through the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, underwent crucifixion, passed away, and was entombed. He returned to life, went up to heaven, and now occupies the place of honor beside God the Father as both fully divine and fully human.
- We hold that the entire Bible is God's own message to us, serving as our trustworthy and final authority for what we believe and how we live.
- We affirm the bodily resurrection of all people, the everlasting joy of the redeemed, and the endless retribution of the unrepentant.
- We affirm that individuals are justified and reconciled to God, known as salvation, solely through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.
- We uphold the doctrine of progressive sanctification, maintaining that God's Word and Spirit can transform the believer to reflect divine holiness in both character and conduct.
- Divine healing is a fundamental aspect of the Gospel, made available to us through the atoning work of Jesus Christ and received by faith in His name.
- Our convictions include the practice of water baptism and the reception of the Holy Spirit baptism as a secondary experience to salvation. We affirm that speaking in tongues, as described in Acts 2:4, serves as the initial evidence of this infilling. Furthermore, we uphold the ongoing operation of spiritual gifts and the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit, maintaining that every believer has access to these divine provisions.
- We trust in the Christian promise: the physical and imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- We are committed to global outreach and the spreading of the Gospel, fulfilling the mandate given by Jesus in the Great Commission.
