What We Believe
Statement of Beliefs
At Love of God PHC, we are a Spirit-filled, Bible-believing church committed to proclaiming the full gospel of Jesus Christ. Our beliefs are rooted in the authority of God’s Word and the power of the Holy Ghost.
Our beliefs:
1. The Bible
We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16). It is our guide for faith, doctrine, and daily living.
2. The One True God
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19).
3. Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin, fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, and will return again in power and glory (John 1:1, 14; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
4. Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is a free gift of God, available to all who repent and believe (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9-10).
5. The Baptism of the Holy Ghost
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost as a distinct experience following salvation, with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues, as seen in Acts 2:4. The Holy Ghost empowers believers for service, holiness, and spiritual gifts (Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11).
6. Divine Healing
We believe in divine healing as provided in the atonement of Christ and available to all believers through faith and prayer (Isaiah 53:5; James 5:14-16).
7. Holiness and Sanctification
We believe in living a holy life, set apart for God, through the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost (1 Peter 1:15-16; 2 Corinthians 7:1).
8. The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to worship, serve, and evangelize the world. Every believer is a vital part of the Church and has a role in God’s kingdom (Ephesians 4:11-16; Matthew 28:19-20).
9. The Second Coming of Christ
We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the righteous to eternal life, and the judgment of the wicked (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15).
10. Heaven and Hell
We believe in a literal Heaven and Hell. Those who accept Christ will spend eternity with Him, while those who reject Him will face eternal separation from God (John 14:2-3; Revelation 21:8).
At Love of God PHC, we are committed to preaching the truth, worshiping in Spirit and in truth, and fulfilling the Great Commission. We welcome all to experience the transforming power of Jesus Christ!
