Rapture Church of Christ
Statement of Belief
We believe in one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.
We believe in the Lord God Almighty the most powerful and unseen one, the Creator and Lord of all things both in heaven and Earth, and Jesus Christ the revealed Son of God.
We believe in Jesus Christ who was the word of God made flesh and dwelled among men full of grace and truth and He was both man and God. He was born not of blood, or of the will of flesh, or of the will of man, but of God; who was in the world, and the world was made by Him but the world knew Him not.
The great Apostle Paul spoke by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost and said without controversy great is the mystery of Godliness. God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto Gentiles, believed on in the world and received up into Glory.
We believe in the holy apostolic church of Jesus Christ, the household of faith and love which was built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone and Bishopric of our soul.
We believe that in Him dwells all of the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and it pleases the Father that in Him all the fullness dwell.
We believe in the Holy Scriptures and that all scriptures are given by the inspiration of God, and are profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and for instruction.
We believe in repentance of all sin and a full confession made unto a merciful and loving God who knows our weakness and brokenness.
We believe that Jesus died and rose again the 3rd day for healing and deliverance both of body and soul, and that He is the head of the church, which is His body.
We believe in the new birth of man's spirit and that he should be baptized in water in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness of all sin and that he should receive the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the spirit of Jesus Christ gives the anointed utterance.
We believe that salvation comes only through Jesus Christ and apart from Him we are lost.
We believe that whatever we do in words or in deeds should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ giving thanks to God through Him.
