Gate of Heaven Ministries Statement of Faith:
The Bible
We believe the entire Bible is divinely inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God revealing the love of God to the world and the basis of our faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21, John 3:16)
The Trinity
We believe in one God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit- Creator of all things.
Salvaltion
We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith is the perfect and complete work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. The blood of Jesus Christ is the only basis for the remission of sins (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Baptism
We believe that water baptism is a symbol of testimony to our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.(Mark 16:16)
The church
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the church.(1 Corinthians 12:12)
COMMUNION
We believe in the receiving Communion(i.e breaking of bread) as an act of remembering the sacrifice that Jesus made for us through dying on the cross.(1Corinthians 11:24-25)
Resurrection
We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost. (1Corinthians 15:50-54, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
We believe that every believer should be in a growing relationship with Jesus by obeying God's Word, yielding to the Holy Spirit and by being conformed to the image of Christ.(Matthew 22:37-39, Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15)
