After young eagles
learn to fly, they love to soar up, up and away. That is what the Prophet Isaiah
was referring to when he described “those who wait upon the Lord … THEY
SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES” Is. 40:31. Eagles are the only
birds that are known to fly up over the storms of life to the blue skies and the
warm sunshine.
Statement of Faith
Faith Tabernacle is a Christ-Centered congregation founded upon the infallible Word of God.
We believe in
the verbal inspiration of the scriptures and the authority of both the Old and
New Testaments.
We believe man was created in the image of God, through disobedience sinned and
fell, and that the entire human race shares in man's lost and depraved nature.
We believe Jesus, the begotten Son of God, took upon Himself the form of a man by
means of the virgin birth. Atonement for sin was made by the sacrificial and substitutional death of Jesus Christ.
We believe salvation is the gift of God by grace alone and received by personal
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that this faith is manifested in works
pleasing to God.
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His
ascension into heaven, and His priestly intercession.
We believe the Holy Spirit is the Promise of the Father, our Comforter sent to
convict the world of sin, which places the believer in the Body of Christ,
indwells the believer, and bestows spiritual gifts to the Church.
We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is for all believers as a definite
endowment of power for service and is subsequent to, and separate from,
conversion.
We believe that the ordinances of the church, by the command of Christ, are
Water Baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper, both of which are administered
to those who are born again.
We believe in the eternal salvation of the believers and in the eternal
damnation and punishment of the nonbelievers.
We believe that the consummation of all things includes the visible, personal,
and glorious return of Jesus Christ, the "Blessed Hope" of the Church.
