Spirit of Life Ministries is a Holy Spirit-filled, non-denominational,
multicultural church. The
ministry is built around three basic fundamentals. When
practiced these fundamentals produce apostolic function that
bring glory to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Founder and
Chief Cornerstone of His Church. These fundamentals are:
1. The Great Commission and discipleship (Matthew 28:18-20;
Mark 16:15-20).
2. The perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry
(Ephesians 4:11-16).
3. The advancement and establishing of the Kingdom of God
(Mark 1:15; John 14:12-14; 1 Peter 2:9).
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe the Bible to be given by inspiration of the Holy
Spirit, infallible, and God's revealed word to man.
We believe that Scripture teaches that there is only one true
and living God who has chosen to reveal Himself as Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11;
Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).
We believe that man is a sinful being in need of redemption
(Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Psalm 51:5; Ecclesiastes 7:29; John
6:44; Romans 5:12-21; 1 Corinthians 2:14).
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, that He is the
Son of God and the Son of Man, that He came to save man from
condemnation of sin by offering His blood as an atonement and
making it available to all who repent of their sin and exercise faith in Him (Matthew
1:23; Luke 1:31, 35; John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2
Corinthians 5:21).
We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (Luke
7:50, 24:47; Romans 10:13-15; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 2
Corinthians 2:15; Ephesians 2:8, 9; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 2:11,
3:5-7).
We believe the Scriptures ascribe to the Holy Spirit the acts
and attributes of an intelligent being, and that the works of
God such as creation, inspiration, giving of life, and
sanctification are also ascribed to the Holy Spirit (Genesis
1:2; Job 33:4; Mark 3:29; John 16:8, 13; Acts 7:51, 10:19,
13:2, 13:4, 16:6; 1 Corinthians 2:11, 6:11, 12; Ephesians
4:30; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 1:21).
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by
whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life
(Romans 8:5; Philippians 2:12, 13; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 John
2:29).
We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the
evidence of speaking in other tongues is given to
believers who ask for it (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:4).
We believe that all mankind is subject to the death of the
body as a result of original sin. The soul and spirit do not
die, but immediately after death enter into a conscious state
of happiness or misery according to the character here
possessed by rejection or acceptance of the Savior
(Ecclesiastes 12:7; Romans 5:12; Philippians 1:23).
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and
the lost; the saved to everlasting life and the lost without
Christ to everlasting damnation (Matthew 24:31-46; Acts 24:15;
Revelation 22:11).
We believe in the personal, imminent return of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
We believe the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides
healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer
(Isaiah 53:4, 5; James 5:14, 15; 1 Peter 2:24).
