Statement of Faith

We Believe

The Bible is the inspired and the only infallible and authoritative Word of God.

We believe that there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.

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, and in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to reign for a thousand years.

We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through the precious blood of Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation

We believe that according to Act 2:4 the baptism in the Holy Spirit, is given to believers who ask for it..

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Holy life. We believe that all the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit are available for all believing Christians.

We believe in the gifts of Holy Spirit namely, the word of wisdom; the word of knowledge, faith, the gifts of healing; the working of miracles; prophecy; discerning of spirits; divers kinds of tongues; and interpretation of tongues: are all operational in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ today.

We believe that the redemptive work of our Lord Jesus Christ provides every spiritual, physical and material blessing.

We believe in the creation and God as the Creator. We believe that God created man and that He created them male and female. As such He created them different so as to complement and complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason homosexuality, and all other “sexual preferences” or “orientations” are unnatural, sinful, and unacceptable to God. Accordingly, this ministry will not perform any marriage ceremonies between two individuals of the same sex. It will not condone or recognize such same-sex marriages, civil unions, or domestic partnerships even if the state passes laws that provide for recognition of such unions.

At Calvary Bible we believe in discipleship and teaching. God’s plan for us encompasses every area of our life. We may be committed to honoring God by coming to church on Sunday but do we know how to honor God in our relationships with our bodies, with our money and with our thought lives throughout the rest of the week. We have weekly bible studies to teach people God’s plan in the seven areas of life: spiritual, psychological, social, physical, financial, marital and parental.

Ordinances

There are seven ordinances as described below:

1. Dedication: Infants and children are presented for dedication in the presence of worshipping congregation, by the priests of the new covenant, as mentioned in the old and the New Testament.

2. Water Baptism: The Ordinances of Baptism by immersion in water (Matthew 28:19) shall by administered to all those who have repented of their sins and who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and gave a clear evidence of their salvation. Romans 6:3‑5, Colossians 2:12.

3. Holy Communion: The Ordinance of the Lord’s supper, shall be observed regularly as enjoined by the Scriptures. I Corinthians 11:23‑26.

4. Wedding: Wedding vows between bride and the groom who have confessed their faith in Lord Jesus Christ must be made in the presence of worshipping congregation at the Holy altar before the priest of the living God, as per discipline and standards mentioned in the Bible. We believe that marriage is exclusively the legal union of one genetic male and one genetic female sanctioned by the state and evidenced by a marriage ceremony.

5. Funerals: Christian Funeral, is considered as a “Home Going Service”, because we believe in the resurrection of Christ and that He shall come again, when the dead in Christ shall rise.

6. Laying on of Hands: Laying on of Hands for the purpose of blessing, anointing, healing the sick, imparting the gifts of the Spirit, recognizing the call of God and setting apart those that are called into the ministry.

7. Celebration of Christian feasts: The feasts in the Old Testament have parallels in the New Testament and will be celebrated as per New Testament standard. This corporation celebrates Christian feasts. Jewish feasts are celebrated for the sake of remembrance and teaching.
