What We Believe
ACTS Churches Statement of Belief
- The one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons in unity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- The divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scriptures.
- The original perfection of creation; the inherent corruptness of humanity through the fall; the necessity of repentance and regeneration by grace and through faith in Christ alone, and the eternal separation from God of the finally unrepentant.
- The virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, triumphant resurrection, ascension and continuing intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ, His second coming and eternal Kingdom reign.
- The justification and sanctification of believers through the finished work of Christ, their security as they remain in Him, and their future resurrection in an incorruptible body.
- The sacraments of baptism by immersion and of the Lord’s Supper.
- The baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers with supernatural signs, empowering the church for its mission in the world.
- The gifts of the Holy Spirit for the building up of the Church and the ministry to the world.
- Christ’s leadership of the Church through the ascension ministries of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the unity, maturity and growth of the Church.
