Statement of Faith

 

 

It is the mission of Mt. Horeb Missionary Baptist Church to reach lost souls with the word of God through teaching, ministering and counseling. We will help to equip you with the necessary skills to live and serve God by becoming Disciples of Christ. If you are in need of a church home, we would love to have you. For this is “The Church Where You Enter Not as a Stranger, But as a Guest of God”.

 

WE BELIEVE that the entire Bible is the Word of God, the infallible revelation of God to man, divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit, and our source of foundational truth.

WE BELIEVE that there is one true, eternal God, the Almighty Father, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.

WE BELIEVE He is revealed in three persons as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, who was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life. He performed miracles, died to redeem us from sins , was resurrected on the third day, and ascended to heaven.

WE BELIEVE that all have sinned, that all need salvation, that salvation is available only through the blood of Jesus Christ , and that all must confess and repent of their sins to receive forgiveness and eternal life. This process is known as becoming “born again” in Christ.

WE BELIEVE that once you have been forgiven of your sins (born again in Christ), you should be baptized in water.

WE BELIEVE in justification, meaning that through the resurrection of Christ and becoming born again, we have been acquitted of our sins and declared righteous in God’s sight.

WE BELIEVE in sanctification, which means to be separated from sin and dedicated to God. Biblically, sanctification is a symbol of being cleansed from pollution and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew us. Once you become born again and baptized in water, exhibiting the fruits of the Spirit and living a holy and moral life through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is promised to all believers and the promise of a Spirit-filled life with the power to be a witness, an anointing to serve God, and operation in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE that divine healing and deliverance are provided through the blood of Jesus Christ, and that the prayer of faith will heal the sick.

WE BELIEVE that Christians are called to be salt and light to the world, and to reach the world with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.

WE BELIEVE in the premillennial second coming of Jesus Christ, first to resurrect the dead saints and to catch away the living in the air.

WE BELIEVE in eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ will return to rule and reign on earth as King of kings and Lord of lords for a thousand years. Then the dead will be judged at the great white throne judgment, and all whose names are not written in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. The righteous will live eternally on a new earth.
