What does Emmanuel Temple Believe?

Our Belief in Jesus Christ leads us into salvation and prepares us for Eternal Life with him in Glory.  Here's what we believe as a church.

Our Beliefs

God is our Creator.

  • God has eternally exsisted as the Father,  Son and the Holy Spirit and these three are one.
  • Genesis 1:1, 26-27, 3:22,  1 John 5:7 

Jesus is the son of God

  • Jesus was born of a virgin and lived on earth without sin and offered himself as a scrafice for sin for all that believe in him might be saved.  He rose in three days to demonstrate his power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return to gather together his elect.
  • Matthew 1:18-23, 16:15-16, 24:29-31, Ephesians 5:2, Corinthians 15:3-4.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

  • Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead.  Holy Spirit dwells within believers, giving them power to live holy and produces spiritual gifts.  He is the promise, who comforts, reminds, leads, and guides us.  The evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit is speaking in new tongues.  
  • John 14:16, 26,  16:8, 13, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 6:19

Salvation

  • It is only through Jesus Christ that we are saved from the power and penalty of sin. For by grace we are save not by works, but it's the gift of God.  It is when we turn from this self-ruled life and look to Jesus in faith we are saved.
  • Romans 6:23 Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:6, Romans 10:9-10
