Faith Outreach's Beliefs

At Faith Outreach, we believe the following:

THE SCRIPTURES ARE INSPIRED
We believe the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

• 2 Timothy 3:15-17
• 1 Thessalonians 2:13
• 2 Peter 1:21

THERE IS ONE TRUE GOD
We believe the one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind.  He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

• Deuteronomy 6:4
• Isaiah 43:10-11
• Matthew 28:19
• Luke 3:22. 

IN THE DEITY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.  The Scriptures declare His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary work on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His exaltation to the right hand of God.

• Matthew 1:23
  
• Hebrews 7:26
  
• Peter 2:22 
• Acts 2:22
  
• Acts 10:38 
  
• 1 Corinthians 15:3 
  
• Matthew 28:6   
  
• Acts 1:9

IN THE FALL OF MAN
We believe man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness."  However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.

• Genesis 1:26-27
  
• Genesis 2:17
  
• Genesis 3:6
  
• Romans 5:12-19

IN THE SALVATION OF MAN
We believe man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.  Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.

• Luke 24:47
  
• John 3:3
  
• Romans 10:13-15
  
• Ephesians 2:8. 

IN THE ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH
Baptism in Water
The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures.  All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.

• Matthew 28:19
  
• Mark 16:16
  
• Acts 10:47-48
  
• Romans 6:4

Holy Communion
We believe the Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ, a memorial of his suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined on all believers "till He come!"

• 2 Peter 1:4 
• 1 Corinthians 11:26 
  
• 1 Corinthians 11:26
  

IN THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe all believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ.  This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts, and their 
uses in the work of the ministry.

• Luke 24:49
  
• Acts 1:4
  
• Acts 1:8
  
• 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

IN THE INITIAL PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe the baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.

• Acts 2:4

IN SANCTIFICATION 
We believe sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil and of dedication unto God.

• Romans 12:1-2
  
• 1 Thessalonians 5:23
  
• Hebrews 13:12

IN THE CHURCH AND ITS MISSION
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are 
written in heaven.

• Ephesians 1:22-23
  
• Ephesians 2:22
  
• Hebrews 12:23

IN THE MINISTRY
We believe the Bible establishes that ministries will exist within the Church so that those who do not believe in Christianity can be reached and so that believers in Jesus Christ can be established in the teachings of the Church.

• Mark 16:15-20
  
• Ephesians 4:11-13

IN DIVINE HEALING
We believe divine healing is an integral part of the gospel.  Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

• Isaiah 53:4-5
  
• Matthew 8:16-17
  
• James 5:14-16 

IN THE BLESSED HOPE
We believe the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.

• 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
  
• Romans 8:23
  
• Titus 2:13
  
• 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

IN THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST
We believe the second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.

• Revelation 19:11-14
  
• Revelation 20:1-6

IN THE FINAL JUDGEMENT
We believe there will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the 
second death.

• Revelation 20:11-15
  
• Revelation 21:8

IN THE NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH
We believe "...according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness."

• 2 Peter 3:13
  
• Revelation 21
  
• Revelation 22
