I AM THE WORD MINISTRY

---

THE SCRIPTURES INSPIRED

The Holy Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired and are the revelation of God to man; they are the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct for His own.

THE ONE TRUE GOD

The one and only true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM,” the Creator of heaven and earth, and the Redeemer of mankind.

THE DEITY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Holy Scriptures declare the following in reference: His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary work on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead.

WATER BAPTISM

The ordinance of Baptism by immersion is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.

HOLY COMMUNION

The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements of bread and the fruit of the vine, symbolizes and expresses the divine nature of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a memorial of His suffering and death, and it is enjoined on all believers until He comes again.

Communion & Water Baptism. If you have received Jesus as your personal Savior, but have not been baptized in water, we encourage you to become baptized.

THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

All believers are entitled to and should earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of the early Church, and is promised for all whom the Lord shall call. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit gives the believer the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of gifts, and the use of those gifts in the work of the ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the New Birth. With the Spirit Baptism comes an overflowing fullness of the Spirit, a deepened reverence for God, an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work, and a more active love for Jesus, for His Word, and for the lost.

SANCTIFICATION

Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is ungodly, and of dedication unto God. The Scriptures teach a life of holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. By the power of the Holy Ghost, we are able to obey the command to be holy as He is holy. Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the truth of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.
