The Holy Spirit has revealed in Scripture that the New Testament Church must honor Christ as its head by the following:
WEARING THE DIVINE NAME: "Christian" Acts 11:26 "The disciples were called 'Christians' first in Antioch." We are not the only Christians, but we prefer to be "Christians Only."
TEACHING THE DIVINE PLAN OF SALVATION
1) Faith: It comes by hearing and believing the Gospel (Good News). John 3:16 Mark 16:16 Matthew 16:16
2) Repentance: To repent means to change one's mind. Acts 2:38
3) Confession of Faith in Christ Romans 10:10
4) Baptism into Christ for the Forgiveness of Sin and gift of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:38 Romans 6:3-10
OBSERVING THE DIVINE PLAN FOR WORSHIP
New Testament Worship consists of: Prayers Acts 2:42 Apostles' Teaching Acts 2:42 Fellowship Acts 2:42 Breaking of Bread (Lord's Supper) Acts 2:42; Acts 20:7
OBEYING THE DIVINE PLAN FOR CHURCH GOVERNMENT Evangelists Ephesians 4:11; 2 Timothy 4:5 Elders (bishops, overseers, pastors) Acts 20:17-38; Philippians 1:1 Deacons Philippians 1:1
TEACHING THE DIVINE PLAN FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY John 17:20-21 Romans 16:17,18 1 Corinthians 1:10-13 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 Galatians 5:19-21
We invite everyone to come and worship with us and celebrate the life together that we have in Christ.
