WHAT WE BELIEVE IN

WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED

TOWER OF GRACE MINISTRIES

GOD THE FATHER

We believe in one God eternally existing in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the boldly resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into Heaven, and His present life as our priest and advocate. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit born of the Virgin Mary and is the true God. We believe that the Lord Jesus died for our sins, a substitution sacrifice according to the scripture and that all who believe in him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.

GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit; and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We believe in the divinely ordained minister of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher.

THE BIBLE

We believe in the scripture of the Old and New Testament in their original writing as fully inspired of God and accepts them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life. We believe the Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the doctrine of satisfaction as definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of new birth and continuing until the consummation of salvation.

MAN

We believe that God created man in His own image, that man sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of sin which is death, physical and spiritual; that all human beings inherited a sinful nature which issues (in the case of those who reach moral responsibility) in nature actual transgression involving personal guilt.

SALVATION

We believe that all that repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and thereby becomes children of God.

THE CHURCH

We believe that the one true Church is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit, that the local church on earth should take its character from this conception of the Church spiritual and therefore, that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are essentials of Church membership. The church is open to any further truth which the Holy Spirit may illuminate form the scripture.

ORDINANCES

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two Ordinances-Baptism in water and the Lord’s supper –to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witness to the cardinal facts of the Christian faith; that Baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection and that the Lord’s super is the partaking of emblems symbolic of the savior’s broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of his sacrificial death, till He comes.

STEWARDSHIP

We believe that Scripture teaches that each and every Christian, as a steward of the portion of God’s wealth that has been entrusted to him or her, is obligated and commanded by God to financially support his local storehouse, assembly and church. We believe that the tithe is established, of God, as a basis for meeting the financial needs of the church and God’s ministries. We also believe that Christians should give freely and cheerfully, above their tithes, sacrificial offerings of time, talents and financial contributions to the Lord and His Kingdom work.

MARRIAGE

We believe that Scripture teaches the home was the first institution provided to man by God himself. We believe that marriage is a sacred relationship that is between a man and a woman. Marriage is used as a symbol that describes the relationship between Christ and His bride, the church.

FUTURE EVENTS

We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation.

DEVINE HEALING

We believe in the divine healing provided for in the Old and New Testament.

Luke 11:9-10

“And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
