Statement Of faith

New Life is a Full Gospel, Spirit Filled Church. Our Statement of Faith, also known as our Tenets of Faith, support the Biblical teaching that the Gifts of the Spirit are for today. We believe that as there was virtue and power in Jesus when He walked this earth, that same power exists today in His name. Therefore, all our prayers are prayed in the name of Jesus, as we believe it is by His authority we can see healing, deliverance and other signs and wonders manifested today.

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and conduct (II Timothy 3:15-17, I Peter 1:23-25, Hebrews 4:12).

We believe the triune Godhead is comprised of three separate and distinct personalities consisting of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who are eternally self-existent, self-revealed and function as one entity. Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Man was created good and upright, for God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." But, man, by voluntary transgression, fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7, Romans 5:12-21). 

We believe man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. By believing in our hearts that Jesus died for us, and confessing that with our mouth, then we are accepted by God, and our sins are forgiven.

We believe that the ordinance of baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures by all who have really repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In partaking of this ordinance, we declare to the world that we have died with Jesus and that we have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19, Acts 10:47-48, Romans 6:4).

We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service (Acts 2:4, 10:44-46, 19:2).

"And when he had given thanks, He broke it, and said, 'This is my body which is for you. DO this in remembrance of me' In the same way also the cup, after supper saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, Do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me.' Let a man examine himself and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup" (I Corinthians 11:24-25, 28).

We believe the church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. And, that each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and church of the first born, which are written in Heaven (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22, Hebrews 12:23).

We believe that Jesus is coming again to gather all His Saints to Heaven (I Corinthians 15:51-52, I Thessalonians 4:16-17, II Thessalonians 2:1).

We believe that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ will return with His Saints from Heaven to rule and reign for ever (Romans 11:25, Revelation 19:11-16, 20:1-7)!

The Bible, the Word of God, is the foundation of our faith, and the Statement of our beliefs. They have been established for us as Christians through the sacrifice of God's son...Jesus Christ.
