WHAT WE BELIEVE
New Life Christian Fellowship United Pentecostal Church is an Apostolic church in principle, practice, and power. We’re Bible-based in that we seek to base all of our beliefs and our lifestyle on explicit passages from the Bible or on biblical principles based on Scripture. We believe the following:
ABOUT THE BIBLE
The Bible is the infallible Word of God, the authority for salvation and Christian living (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
ABOUT GOD
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16).
ABOUT SIN AND SALVATION
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith, based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9).
ABOUT THE GOSPEL
The saving gospel is good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection). (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4).
ABOUT CHRISTIAN LIVING
As Christians, we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today (Mark 12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12:8-10).
ABOUT HEALING, SIGNS, AND MIRACLES
We believe that God’s power is still active in the church and that healing, signs, and miracles are available to God’s people through faith in Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 13:8; 1 Corinthians 2:4; 1 Peter 2:24).
