Our Father’s House is a body of believers distinguished by its belief in the inerrancy of the scriptures,  the priesthood of the believer, and the autonomy of the local church. We recognize the Lordship of Christ, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and the worshipping of God in spirit and in truth. The Holy Bible is the inspired and innerant word of God (II Tim. 3:16 – 17) There is one eternal God revealed as Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit God is our Creator, Sovereign, Almighty, Lord, Master, and Savior Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, coequal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine, quickens the lost, indwells each true believer in Christ, baptizes a person into the body of Christ, gives gifts to believers, empowers believers to be witnesses of Christ to others, teaches the Scriptures to believers Baptism is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and faith to walk in newness of life in Christ The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby believers in Christ, through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, proclaim the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming Salvation from sin and hell is given to an individual freely by God’s grace o Fruits of Salvation: § Acknowledgement of and repentance of sin § Acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord § Acknowledgement and understanding that salvation and forgiveness come only by grace as a gift, not by works § Belief that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead and is seated in heaven at the right hand of the Father § Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ by believing in who He is (God, God’s Son, the only way to salvation) To glorify God and to make Him known To worship and glorify God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit To be a loving community of faith committed to practicing and pursuing the great commandment as we love God and love one another To be a dynamic spiritual entity empowered by the Holy Spirit to share among all people the Gospel of God’s salvation by personal faith in Jesus Christ, the Savior and Lord To disciple believers in their growth towards spiritual maturity and equip them for service and evangelism To sustain the ordinances and doctrines and to practice the precepts and examples of the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ as set forth in the Holy Bible To be a House of Prayer
