The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God. (II Timothy 3:15-17; I Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12)
There is one true Godhead comprised of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All are co-equal and co-eternal (Matt 28:19,1 John 5:7).
Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead (Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1, 14).
Man was created in the image of God, being spirit, soul and body. By voluntary transgression, man fell. Man’s only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Gen. 1:26-31; Gen. 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21)
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary sexes 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.
Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross, Jesus Christ became sin and sickness providing both salvation and healing for all mankind (Ps. 103:3). This salvation comes by believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing with your mouth, Jesus as Lord (Romans 3:24; Romans 10:8-10; Eph. 2:8).
The inward evidence, to the believer, is the direct witness of the Spirit (Rom. 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of true holiness and love (I John 3:23; John 13:35).
Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works are evidence of our faith and will determine our rewards in eternity. (Acts 16:3; Rom. 10:9-10; Rom. 14:10-12; II Cor. 5:10; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; James 2:18)
Baptism in water is a declaration to the world that a believer has died with Christ and that they have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Rom. 6:4)
The celebration of the Lord’s Supper by eating of the bread and drinking of the Cup is a remembrance of Jesus. (I Cor. 11:24-30)
All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to the command of Jesus Christ. With this comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of gifts, and they are used in the work of the ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 2:38-39; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 11:14-16 Acts; 15:7-9; I Cor. 12:1-31)
The full consummation of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is evidenced in believers by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:2; Acts 6; Acts 1:8)
The Church is the Body of Christ. Each believer is an integral part of the body. (Eph. 1:22; Eph. 2:19-22; Heb. 12:23)
Total prosperity – Spiritual (John 3:3, 11; II Cor. 5:17-21; Rom. 10:9-10) – Mental (II Tim. 1:7; Rom. 12:2; Is. 26:3) – Physical (Is. 53:4-5; Matt. 8:17; I Peter 2:24) – Financial OH John 1:2; Mal. 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; II Cor. 9:6-10; Dent. 28:1-14)- Social (Prov. 3:4)
Blessed Hope: Jesus is coming again. (I Cor. 15:51-52; I Thess. 4:16-17; II Thess. 2:1)
Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead. (Rev. 12:20; Rev. 20:10-15)
The resurrection of the dead and the eternal judgment of the just and the unjust. (Heb.6:2; 1Thess. 4:16-17)
We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. (Ps. 139.)
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 marriage between one man and one woman, for life, uniquely reflects Christ’s relationship with His Church (Eph. 5:21-33). 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 any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, cohabitation, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, or use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matt. 15:18-20; 1 Cor. 6:9-10).
We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9-11).
We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31). Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of Dominion Life World Outreach Center.
