Living Branch Ministries
Statement of Faith:
-
There is one God manifested in three personalities: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
-
The Bible is the mind of Christ and is inspired, the only infallible and authoritative Word of God
-
The reality of Satan and his present control over unregenerate man does exist
-
We believe in the Biblical covenant of marriage is between one man and one woman
-
We believe in the sanctity of marriage in God's Word between one man and one woman
-
Vaccines pose morally compromising situations for our religious belief
Christianity is based upon the following:
-
The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ
-
His sinless life
-
His miracles
-
His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood
-
His bodily resurrection
-
His ascension to the right hand of the Father
-
His personal return in power and glory as Lord of Lords and King of Kings
-
The fall of man and his lost estate, which makes necessary a rebirth through confession and belief in Jesus Christ
-
The reconciliation of man to God by the substitutionary death and shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
-
All who repent from their sins and receive Christ as Savior should be water baptized by immersion in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit according to the command of the Lord Jesus
-
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is subsequent to the new birth and the baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4-8, Mark 16:17)
-
Divine healing and deliverance from sickness is provided for all in the atonement and is a privilege to all believers (Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:16-17)
-
The resurrection of believers to everlasting life and blessing in Heaven and the resurrection of unbelievers unto everlasting torments of hell
-
The present supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit, who bestows gifts in and among believers on the earth since the day of Pentecost and continuing until our Lord’s return (1 Corinthians 12:1-11).
