- Tenants of Faith | Abundant Life Family Church
WHAT WE BELIEVE TENETS OF FAITH The Scriptures The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine (2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21). The Godhead Our God is One, but manifested in three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, being coequal (Deut. 6:4; Phil. 2:6). God the Father is greater than all; the Sender of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter (John 14:28; John 16:28; John 1:14). The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning (John 1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14). The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 14:16; John 15:26). Man, His Fall, & Redemption Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world. The Bible says "...all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God," and "...There is none righteous, no, not one" (Rom. 3:10; 3:23). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the works of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God (Rom. 5:14; 1 John 3:8). Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the Law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God (Eph. 2:8–10). Eternal Life & The New Birth Man's first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced, produces eternal life (2 Cor. 7:10; John 3:3–5; 1 John 5:12). Water Baptism Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts 8:36–39). The following recommendation regarding the water baptismal formula is adopted; to wit: "On the confession of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by His authority, I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen." Baptism in the Holy Ghost The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the new birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (Matt. 3:11; John 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:1–7; Acts 2:1–4). Sanctification The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation at Christ's return (Heb. 12:14; 1 Thess. 5:23; 2 Peter 3:18; 2 Cor. 3:18; Phil. 3:12–14; 1 Cor. 1:30). Healing Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the Church today (James 5:14,15; Mark 16:18; Isa. 53:4,5; Matt. 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24). Prosperity (a) Spiritual. (III John 2; II Corinthians 5:17-21) (b) Mental. (II Timothy 1:7; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 26:3) (c) Physical. (Isaiah 53:4, 5; Matthew 8:17; I Peter 2:24) (d) Financial. (Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; II Corinthians 9:6-15; Deuteronomy 28:1-14) (e) Social. (Proverbs 3:4; Luke 2:52; Esther 2:15) Marriage & Sexual Relations The Church shall only sanction or conduct marriages between a man and a woman. God instituted marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family, the basic structure of human society (Genesis 2:24). God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in other than in the context of marriage between a man and a woman (Genesis 19:5, 26:8‑11; Leviticus 18:1‑30; Romans 1:26‑29: 1 Corinthians 5:1, 6:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:1‑8; Hebrews 13:4). God has wonderfully and immutably created each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Resurrection of the Just & the Return of Our Lord The angels said to Jesus' disciples, "...This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." His coming is imminent. When He comes, "...The dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air..." (Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4:16,17). Following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of kings, and Lord of lords, and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousand years (Rev. 5:10; 20:6). Hell & Eternal Retribution The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the lake of fire and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. The lake of fire is literal. The terms "eternal" and "everlasting," used in describing the duration of the punishment of the damned in the lake of fire, carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of saints in the Presence of God (Heb. 9:27; Rev. 19:20).

SCRIPTURES FOR CHILDREN LEARN MORE Your children are most precious. One of the best things you can do for your children is to speak the Word of God over them. Below are scriptures from the Bible that you can confess, and short meditations to speak out loud concerning your children. Speak the Word over your children regularly and they will be blessed for it, and so will you! (All scriptures are taken from the New King James version, unless otherwise stated.) What The Bible Says About Your Children Booklet Download Psalm 4:3 But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to Him. My children have been set apart to serve God. My children will walk with God, love God, serve God, please God! My children will obey God and God's Word. Psalm 145:4 One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts. One generation can praise the works of God to another, and I declare that the presence of God upon my life is upon my children's lives. A generational anointing is being imparted to my children. What God has done for me, He is doing for my children as well. Nehemiah 2:8 And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me. I confess that the good hand of God is upon my children. God's hand in the Bible represents God's authority. God's authority is over my children, the authority of goodness, kindness, meekness, gentleness, patience, peace, and joy. My children live under the authority of the kingdom of God and not under the authority of the kingdom of darkness. Isaiah 44:3 For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring. I confess that God's blessings are upon me and my family. God's provision will find me and my children like streams and rivers. God's Spirit is covering my children like the sky covers the earth. Blessings from God are upon me and they are upon my children. Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. I boldly confess that my children have a hunger for God and the things of God. My children love God's Word. My children love to pray. My children have hearts turned toward the things of God. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. I confess that God has a plan for my children that will bring only joy and hope. My children will find, follow, and flow in the perfect will of God. Only God's best will touch my children. God's divine plan will be accomplished for my children. Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way. I confess that the steps of my children are ordered by the Lord. Each and every day, my children will walk in the footsteps that Jesus Christ wants them to walk in. Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. I confess that my children are growing in wisdom and favor with God and man. My children are developing in social skills. My children are growing in daily judgment. My children are clothed with favor from upon high. Isaiah 10:27 It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. I confess that my children walk in and under the anointing of God. God's presence is always upon my children. Angels of God are always near my children. The power of God is daily and continually flowing in and through my children's lives. Colossians 2:2 That their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ. I confess that my children are being knit by the Spirit of God to godly friends and relationships. My children will marry the person God has for them. My children will go to school with the right children, play with the right children, talk to the right children, and continue to build relationships with only godly children. John 10:4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. My children know the voice of the Good Shepherd and the voice of a stranger they do not listen to. My children hear and recognize the voice of God and they will be obedient to His every whispering instruction. Romans 5:17 For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. My children are learning to reign and live in this life as kings. My children have a "king's mentality". God's best is assigned to the lives of my children. My children experience the royal life of God found in Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ. Thanks be to God who always causes my children to walk and live in victory! My children will have victory in every area of their lives. Victory over sin. Victory over the devil. Victory over thoughts that come to their minds that are not of God. Victory in their finances, their bodies, and their futures. Psalm 35:27 ...let them say continually, "Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant." God delights to prosper His servants. My children will serve God all the days of their lives and honor His Word and be blessed all the days of their lives. No harm will touch my children. Only blessings will come upon my children. Blessings are being sent to my children each and every day by the love of God.

JESUS Liar, Lunatic or Lord? Let's look at this logically... Was Jesus Christ really who He said He was? Was He really the Lord, the Son of God? Was He just a good man, or a prophet? Or was He deranged and delusional? This 23-minute message will address this question. Listen and decide! Liar, Lunatic or Lord? Pastor Jeff Miller 00:00 / 22:37 Eternal Life is a Free Gift God loves you and wants you to have a happy, joyful, and prosperous life -- an abundant life. He sent His Son Jesus to die for you and take your place. He has already forgiven you of your past sins, but you must accept it. You must receive your free gift. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. — John 3:17 All you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. It's that simple. The only sin that can keep you out of heaven is the sin of rejecting God's free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Give your life to Jesus today! Pray this prayer out loud and believe it with all your heart. Pray this Prayer: Dear God, You said in Your Word, Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. — Romans 10:13 Lord Jesus, I'm calling on Your name. I believe in my heart that You are the Son of God. I thank You for dying on the cross and taking my place. I believe God the Father raised You from the dead. I accept You now as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for forgiving me of my sins and giving me a new start. I give You control of my life. From this day forward You are the Lord and master of my life. Thank You for saving me and giving me eternal life. Lord Jesus, I will love You and serve You forever. Amen. Salvation Prayer You are Forgiven! If you just prayed and made Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life, you are saved and forgiven of your past sins. That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. — Romans 10:9-10 Your salvation is not based upon your good works, but on your personal faith in Jesus Christ. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. — Ephesians 2:8-9 Welcome to the Family!
