TENETS OF FAITH

EAGLE ROW and Jean Rae

Eagle Row/ Jean Rae accepts the Scriptures as the revealed Will of God and adopts these Statements of Fundamental Truths and Doctrine.

1. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God (I Tim. 3:15-17; I Peter 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12).

2. There is one true Godhead comprised of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All are co-equal and co-eternal (Matt. 28:19; I John 3:7). Jesus Christ, God Manifest in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead (Is. 9:6; John 1:1, 14).

3. Man (mankind) was created in God’s image. By voluntary transgression he fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-21).

4. Jesus the Christ, was, and is holy and without sin, born of a Virgin, fathered by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. He became the spotless lamb of God for sacrifice of the sin nature of man and willingly gave himself. God loved the people of the world so much that he sent His Son, Jesus, to teach and die for the remission (forgiveness) and atonement (erasing) of sin for all who accept Him (John 3:16).

5. Salvation of Man –

v Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross Jesus Christ became sin and sickness providing both salvation and healing for all mankind (Ps. 103:3). This salvation comes by believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing with your mouth, Jesus is Lord (Rom. 3:24, 10:8-10, Eph. 2:8).

v Salvation is by faith of Jesus Christ and not by human works; however our works are evidence of our faith and will determine our rewards in eternity (Acts 16:3, Rom. 10-9-10, 14:10-12; II Cor. 5:10; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; James 2:18).

v The inward evidence, to the believer, is the direct witness of the spirit (Rom. 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of true holiness and love (I John 3-23, John 13-35).

6. Baptism in water is a declaration to the world that a believer has died with Christ and that they have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matt. 28:29; Acts 10:47-48; Rom.6-4).

7. Christian Conduct -

We believe that all believers should seek to walk by Spirit, separating themselves from worldly practices contrary to the Word, ...being a witness by their life and word to the truth of the Scriptures. (Romans 12:1-2; Galatians 5:15-16; II Corinthians 5:9-17)

8. The celebration of the Lord’s Supper by eating of the bread and drinking of the cup is a remembrance of Jesus (I Cor. 12:1-31). Be careful not to take the bread and wine without repentance of sin, "unworthily, eating and drinking damnation to himself," As Apostle Paul said, "for this cause many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep (die)." ...( I Cor. 11:26-30).

9. All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit according to the command of Jesus Christ. With this comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Luke 24-49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:38-39, 10:44-46, 11:14-16, 15:7-9; I Cor. 12:1-31).

10. The evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit: The full consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in pubic testimony and service (Acts 2:4, 10:44-46, 19:2, 6, 1:8).

11. The Church is the Body of Christ. Each believer is an integral part (Eph. 1:22, 2:19-22, Heb. 12:23).

12. Total Prosperity (II Tim.3:12; Matt. 5:-12) (with persecution...Mat. 13:2; II Tim. 3:12)

* Spiritual (John 3:3, 11; II Cor. 5:17-21; Rom. 10:9-10)

* Mental (II Tim. 1:7; Rom. 12:2; Is 26-31)

* Physical (Is. 53:4, 5, Matt. 8:17; I Peter 2:24)

* Financial (III John 1:2; Mal. 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; II Cor. 9:6-10; Deut. 28:1-14).

* Social (Prov. 3:4)

13. Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead. They will burn in the lake of fire (Rev. 19:20, 20:10-15).

14. The Millennial Reign of Jesus; The return of our Lord Jesus Christ with His Saints from Heaven (those who have been raptured/caught up to Heaven to return) to rule and reign for one thousand years on earth as the Scripture promised (Rom. 11:25; 27; II Thess. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16, 20:1-7). After this, there will be a new heaven and a new earth (Rev. 21).

Come Lord Jesus.
