Statement of Faith
"The Session2k" and affiliated Ministries holds that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God. There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe God created Heaven and earth and all creation.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His Ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years.
We believe in the Blessed Hope - the rapture of the Church at Christ's coming.
We believe that you have to be reborn and regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and that it is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
We believe in water baptism by immersion. We deem this to be non-contingent for salvation, but is a good public confession and symbolic of your faith in Christ.
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides healing for the human body, forgiveness for all acts of sins of mankind and paved the way for eternal salvation to all who receive this truth. The one exception which is unforgivable would be the ultimate and utter rejection of Christ Jesus.
We believe the baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to those ordained by God as the chosen servants of the Lord, to all who ask in faith and whomever the Lord deems worthy to be baptised as was fulfilled at pentecost.
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.
We believe God is the same yesterday, today and forevermore, he does not change.
We believe God still operates and flows in gifts of the Holy Spirit which includes, prophecy, speaking in tongues(known & unknown), signs, wonders, miracles, interpretations, visions, dreams, fruits of the Spirit, spiritual discernment, the gift of faith, Joy, prayers of the saints, and the best Agape Love. Our ministers focus on the Lord's best gift Agape Love.
We do not believe you have to pay tithes to the local church as part of your christian disipline, as Jesus Christ paid in full on the cross once and for all, all ordinances, as stated in Colossians 2:14. We do however, deem necessary you give offerings from the heart and by faith you give the amount God places in your heart, that may be your much needed time in servanthood (volunteering), ministerial efforts or your money. All of which are equally and vitally important to God's service to believers and nonbelievers alike.
We do not believe it takes a certain christian denomination to receive the Lord's mercy, grace, Love or salvation. God knows and judges the heart of man.
We believe in the resurrection of the saved and the lost; for the saved everlasting life, and for the lost everlasting damnation, because they chose to reject Christ while He could be found.
We believe when we are caught up in the air with the Lord we will see him and be like him at his coming. So come Lord Jesus, come quickly! Amen and Amen!
