Tenets of Faith
Saving Faith Christian Assembly accepts the Holy Scriptures as the revealed will and Word of God, the all-sufficient rule for faith and practice; and the purpose of maintaining general unity. We adopt the following statements of foundational truths:
WE BELIEVE…
The Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God (II Peter 1:21)
There is One God, eternally existent and that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are the triune God expressed in One Being and His name is Jesus (Colossians 1:19, 2:9)
Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit born of the virgin Mary, and that He is true God and true man, and is the only and sufficient Mediator between God and man (I Timothy 2:5)
In the vicarious death of the Lord Jesus Christ for our sins in the resurrection of His body, His ascension into Heaven and His personal and visible future return to the earth; and that salvation is received only through personal faith in Him.
The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ which was poured out for us on Calvary.
Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation. We believe those who have received personal salvation are to be baptized by immersion in water in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of their sins. (Acts 2:38)
The redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body and soul in answer to believing prayer. (Isaiah 53:5, James 5:14-15)
The baptism and filling with the Holy Ghost, according to Acts 1:8 and 2:4 is given to all believers who earnestly desire to be filled with power from on high by faith. It is a gift and a command from the Lord for all believers to receive. (Ephesians 5:17-21)
The sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a holy life, Acts 1:4-8 and I Corinthians 6:19-20. We are commanded to live holy for He is Holy (I Peter 1:15)
The resurrection of the saved and the lost; the saved to everlasting life and the lost to everlasting damnation (II Corinthians 5:10, Revelation 20: 11-15)
The New Testament Church is a body of believers, through baptism, is associated for worship, service, the spreading of the Gospel and the establishing of God’s Kingdom Principles in the entire world.
