A Company Of Women Statement of Faith

We believe in one God, present in three persons, fully equal, completely in unity of heart, mind, and purpose: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of the Living God. Although man's translations are often done through societal norms of the day, the message of the Gospel is fully recognizable by the Presence of God in the believer.

We believe that in order to see the Kingdom of God, a person must have personal relationship to God. The act of being "born again"  and filled with the Holy Spirit is available to all who ask. Salvation for mankind is available by simply calling on the name of Jesus, and repenting for sins.

We believe in the traditional sacraments of the church: baptism in water, marriage, communion, and others. While non-essential for salvation, these blessings enrich the lives of believers in a more intimate way to God.

 We believe that Jesus Christ is the only  Son of the Living God, fully man, fully God, and has existed with the Father from all eternity.  Because death is required for sin, Jesus emptied Himself and became a man among us so that He could provide the one-time perfect sacrifice for us on the cross at Calvary. Because He is God's Son, and because He was completely sinless, He could be the "lamb" sacrifice for all that we have ever done or thought. His Blood literally saved us from destruction and gives us freedom and  hope. His act of love allows all of mankind full access to a personal relationship to God Himself, and the resurrected life both here on earth and into eternity.

We believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. His life of miracles and healings bore testimony to His Divine nature.

After His crucifixion by sinful men, Jesus was raised on the third day. His resurrection gives mankind access to the heavenly realms by tearing away the veil of separation. Fifty days after the resurrection, on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was poured out over believers. (Acts 2, foretold in Joel 2). At that moment, a new era was born. Believers in Christ can be filled with the Holy Spirit without measure, and are able to see the Kingdom of God and participate in His operations on the earth.

We believe in faith, miracles, healings, prophecy, love, words of knowledge, words of wisdom, the gift of  tongues, interpretation of tongues, discerning of spirits, and all ministries of the Holy Spirit on earth. These gifts did not pass away with the Apostles, but are actively in operation today. We also believe that the supernatural realm is alive and working on the earth, and that angels  work among us.

We believe in the real return of the Lord Jesus, and the inevitable judgment of those who do not know Him at the point of death. We do not participate in arguments over the timing of eschatology, but stand firmly on the faith that His Blood is our testimony of salvation regardless of what point in history we may find ourselves.

 Above all, we believe that His Church is called to love the Lord with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. We are commanded also to love one another, and stand as people connected to His heart by the Spirit of God. We are called to love those who do not know God, and bring His love to them as lights shining in a dark world. We stand as brothers and sisters together before the Throne of Grace, knowing that we have been granted adoption into God's family at a very high price.  It is our Father's desire that all come to the knowledge of His Son Jesus, and that we love not in word only, but in our actions. All who seek to be part of His family are welcome.
