Jesus Christ is eternally God. He was together with the Father and the Holy Spirit from the beginning, and through Him all things were made. For man’s redemption, He left heaven and became incarnate by the Holy Spirit through the virgin Mary. He is forever one Christ with two natures—God and man—in one person.
We believe The Church has been called out of the world to be a group of people who follow Jesus Christ. These Christ-followers, through the power of the Holy Spirit, will affect genuine spiritual change in their communities. As the body of Christ on earth, the church offers hope to humanity. The church is one group of people made up of many members, diverse in their gifts and callings of the Holy Spirit. As a San Antonio based Christian Church our mission is to provide this for our community.
We affirm that the Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, is alone the only infallible, inspired Word of God, and that its authority is ultimate, final, and eternal. It cannot be added to, subtracted from, or superseded in any regard. The Bible is the source of all doctrine, instruction, correction, and reproof. It contains all that is needed for guidance in godliness and practical Christian conduct.
We believe that following your decision of faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, new believers are commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water as public evidence of that faith. Water baptism is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer's death to their own sin, the burial of that old life, and the resurrection to a new life in Christ Jesus. Baptism is a significant moment in our journey from a life of sin to a life with Jesus.
We believe Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation. Through the Holy Spirit, He enables us and empowers us to do what is pleasing unto the Lord. We believe the Holy Spirit is the one that is responsible to change us and transform us into the image of Jesus. We believe that we must depend and surrender to the Holy Spirit every day, to be led by Him.
Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe the Lord desires everyone to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit in order to receive His power to be witnesses for Him. Not necessarily to be saved, because salvation only comes from Jesus; but to receive power. From the moment the gifts of the Holy Spirit are activated we will begin to display the kingdom of God in power.
