Discover Our Beliefs at Cross & Wings Ministries
SCRIPTURE
2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1ST Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Peter 1:21
We believe both the Old and New testaments are verbally inspired of God and are the infallible and authoritative revelation of God.
ONE GOD
Deuteronomy 6:4 Isaiah 43 10:1, Matthew 28:19, Luke 3:22
We believe there is one true GOD, eternally and self existent in three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
DIETY OF JESUS
Matthew 1:23, Hebrews 7:26, Acts 2:22, 1st Corinthians 15:13, Matthew 28:6, Hebrews 1:3
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ as revealed in Scripture: his virgin birth, sinless life, miracles’, death on the cross, bodily resurrection, alive ascension to the right hand of the Father and the hope of his personal and visible future return to Earth.
FALL OF MAN
Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7, 3:6, Romans 5:12-19
We believe man was created good and upright in the image of GOD, however man sinned and incurred both physical and spiritual death.
SALVATION
Luke 24:47, John 3:3, Romans 10:13-15, Ephesians 2:8
We believe the only means of being cleansed from sin and attaining eternal life is through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
WATER BAPTISM
Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:37-39
We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus in order to fulfill his commands.
BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4, 1:8 1st Corinthians 12:1-31
We believe in the baptism and indwelling of the Holy Spirit as an experience of salvation. With the baptism comes power for life and service and the endowment of spiritual gifts for use in ministry.
SANCTIFICATION
Romans 12:1-2, Ephesians 5:18
We believe sanctification is the act of living a spirit-filled life for the purpose of separation from that which is evil and personal dedication to GOD.
BODY OF CHRIST
Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:22, Hebrews 12:23
We believe the church is the body of Christ, the ecclesia, which is the habitation of GOD through the spirit, carrying the divine responsibility of fulfilling the Great Commission.
