What We Believe

                                                                    HARVEST OF HOPE CHRISTIAN CENTER

 

                                                                                   ARTICLES OF FAITH

 

            First: We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament were written by men divinely inspired and that they are the only infallible rule of Faith and Practice (2 Timothy 3:16)

 

            Second: That there is only one true and living God, revealed to us as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the same in essence and equal in every divine perfection (Matt 3:16-17; John 1:1-5)

 

            Third: That man was created holy, innocent and happy, but by the disobedience of one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned (Genesis 1:26; Genesis 3:6)

 

            Fourth: That the only way of Salvation is by grace through faith in the atonement and righteousness of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23; 10:9-10, 13)

 

            Fifth: That it is the duty of all men to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 3:13; Acts 2:38)

 

            Sixth: That nothing can separate true believers from the love of God, but that they will be kept by His power through faith unto salvation (Romans 8:28-31, 35-39)

 

            Seventh: That Christian Baptism is administered only by the immersion of believers in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that immersed believers only are entitled to partake of the Lord’s Supper (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 11:23-34)

 

            Eighth: That there will be a general resurrection on the dead and a general judgment when all mankind will be judged according to their deeds, that the wicked shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal (Matthew 24:25; Revelation 20:11-15)

 

            Ninth: That the Christian ministry is a divinely appointed means for the spread of the Gospel throughout the world, and that it is the duty of all Christians according to the ability to contribute to its support (Acts 1:8; 2Corinthians (9:6-9)

 

            Tenth: That holiness is not a religion, denomination, nor a church, but rather, a lifestyle in which we show an inward change has occurred in our lives. We become new creatures which is demonstrated by our ethical behavior according to Romans 6:22; 2 Corinthians 5:17-18; 7:1.

 

Eleventh: We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as a male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen 1:26-27) Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.

We believe the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Gen 2:18-25). We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.

We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of Lee’s Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church as the local Body of Christ, and to provide a biblical role model to the Lee’s Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church members and the community, it is imperative that all persons employed by Lee’s Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church in any capacity, or who serve as volunteers, agree to and abide by this Statement on Marriage…Gender…and Sexuality. (Matt 5:16; Phil 2:14-16; 1 Thess. 5:22)
