The
Word of God:
We believe that the Bible is God's Word. Therefore it is without error and
was inspired and ultimately authored by the Holy Spirit who used human
writers. It is our source and final authority in all areas of personal and
church life. We desire to be a people who pursue God's Word at River of
Life Church.
Jesus Christ:
We believe
that Jesus is the Son of God; That He came to earth through the virgin birth and lived a sinless life. That through His death and shedding of His holy, perfect, blood, he took all my sins and paid the price for them. Because of His
resurrection he gained power over death and earned eternal life for all those
who believe in Him and give their life to Him. Salvation is only found in
and through Jesus Christ.
The Trinity:
There is one God who exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Baptism in
Water: We believe
that the Bible instructs those who come to Jesus for salvation to be baptized.
This baptism we believe is for those who are saved, old enough to understand
what they are doing, and to be done by immersion as a picture of the death and
resurrection of Christ.
The Church:
We believe
that the Word of God encourages every believer to "plug" into the body of
Christ, which is the local church. Each believer in the local church is
expected to support the work of the church with his or her time, tithe, and
talents.
