Statement of Beliefs

We members of the Holy Flock of Christ holds the following to be true:

Inerrancy and Infallibity of The Holy Scripture Cannon:

We believe in the Holy Scriptures as contained in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. We believe the Bible is a divine book inspired by God, and it speaks with authority to believers and is without error.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and it is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” II Tim. 3:16

Holy Trinity:

We believe in the unity of GOD in the Triune Godhead: God, the FATHER, God, the SON and God, the HOLY SPIRIT.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the FATHER, the WORD, and the HOLY SPIRIT: and these three are one” I John 5:7

Divinity of Jesus Christ:

We believe in the deity and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that the spirit of God the FATHER lived and worked with HIM during HIS earthly ministry.

“I and my Father are One” John 10:30

Redemptive Ministry of Jesus Christ:

We believe in the crucifixion, death and third day bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We also believe in the atonement of the blood of Christ for the remission of sins by repentance through faith in Jesus Christ.

“In whom we have redemption through HIS blood,the forgiveness of sin” Col. 1:14

Ascension Ministry of Jesus Christ:

We believe in the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ to heaven and He now sits at the right hand of GOD, the FATHER as our Advocate.

“…After the Lord has spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God; …and if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the FATHER, Jesus Christ the righteous” Mark 16:19 & I John 2:1

Sanctification and Holiness:

We believe that a soul is entirely sanctified, subsequent to repentance and justification through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We also believe in God’s standard of holiness for all believers that have been sanctified.

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;…Because God hath chosen you to salvation through the sanctification of the spirit; Ye shall be holy before me, for I the LORD am holy” Rom. 5: 1, I Thess. 2:13 & Lev. 21:26

Baptism:

We believe in water baptism by immersion, in the name of God, the FATHER, God, the SON and God, the HOLY SPIRIT as a sign of the washing away of sins and commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ.

“He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT” Mark 16:16 & Matt. 28:19

Baptism of the Holy Spirit:

We believe in the Baptism and the out-pouring of the HOLY SPIRIT on all sanctified believers. We believe also in the gift of the HOLY SPIRIT as manifested in vision and dream, speaking in tongues and prophesying, divine healing and miracles.

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out my SPIRIT on all flesh: and your sons shall prophesy, and your young men shall dream dreams: and on my servants and my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my SPIRIT; and they shall prophesy; And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up” Acts 2:17-18 & James 5:15

Holy Communion:

We believe in the Lord’s Supper or Communion with qualified baptized believers as instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Supper.

“He took bread, and gave thanks, and break it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me; Likewise also the cup, saying This is the cup of the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you” Luke 22: 19-20

Eschatology and the Millenium Reign:

We believe in the Second Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the righteous dead and the catch-away of the living saints to Himself in the clouds in rapture, in the bodily form. We also believe in the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ for a thousand years on earth with the saints.

“For the Lord shall himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the arch-angel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord; …and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years” I Thess. 4; 16-17 & Rev 20:4
