Welcome to COH      What we Believe

 

Statement of Faith 

 

 

The Triune GodHead

We believe in one true and living God(Mark 12:29), eternally existing(John 1:1-4) and revealed to us as the Father, Creator of all things; the Son, Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, and the Holy Spirit.(II Corinthians 13:14)
 
In the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, death for our sins, bodily resurrection, ascension unto God, and return in power and glory.
 
The Scriptures
 
The Holy Scriptures are the inspired and complete revelation of God’s will concerning man’s salvation through grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
Salvation
 
That man is saved solely through faith in God’s grace as displayed in the deathand resurrection of Jesus Christ.
 
Baptism

In water baptism as a public declaration that a believer has died with Christ and  risen with Him to walk a life of holiness and love.

 
Unity of the Church

In the unity of all true believers as members of the universal body of Christ regardless of denominational affiliation.

 
The Passover
 
In the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, the Passover meal, as a remembrance of our Passover Lamb Jesus the Lamb.
 
The Ministry of the Holy Spirit
   
by the inward witness of salvation to the believer.

by daily guidance and the growth of Christ-like character

by the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and experience distinct from and
following the new birth, with power, evidenced initially by speaking with
other tongues and by the manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service.

by the manifestation of the supernatural gifts of the Spirit as listed in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10

Bodily return of our Lord Jesus Christ

That Jesus Christ is coming again to gather all His saints unto Himself.  Those Who have not accepted His redemptive work on their behalf will suffer eternal
separation from the Godhead and burn in the lake of fire.
 
That following His return Jesus Christ will rule and reign for one thousand years on the earth.  After this there will be a new heaven and a new earth.
