Holy Temple Church UHC Core Beliefs


Bible

We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God.

  • That the 66 books of the Old and New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God as originally written
  • That the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct · 2 Timothy 3:16

God

We believe in one God, Creator of all, holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three equal Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

Jesus Christ

We believe in the absolute and essential deity of our Lord Jesus Christ

  • In His eternal existence, with the Father in pre-incarnate glory
  • In His work of creation, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection
  • In His triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the absolute and essential deity, and in the personality of the Holy Spirit

  • Who convinces of sin, of righteousness and of judgment
  • Who regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ
  • Who baptizes believers at conversion into the Body of Christ and bestows upon them His gifts sovereignly as He wills and fills those yielded to Him

Mankind

We believe that Adam was divinely created in the image of God

  • That by the sin of disobedience he fell from that state
  • That all his posterity inherited spiritual depravity and defilement
  • That all men therefore are guilty before God and condemned to physical and spiritual death

Salvation

We believe that salvation is by the sovereign grace of God

  • That by the Father, Christ voluntarily suffered a propitiatory death
  • That justification is by faith alone in the all-sufficient sacrifice and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
  • That those whom God has effectually called shall be divinely preserved and ultimately perfected in the image of the Lord

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

We believe in the Father who is God Almighty.

The Creator of all things and the Preserver of Light and life.

We believe in the son, who is Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son.

He was human and divine, truly lived, suffered and died, rose again from the dead, ascended on high, and is coming again.

We believe that Jesus was sent by God to reveal God to man.

That whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

We believe in the Holy Ghost who was sent from God the Father and the Son.

That the Holy Spirit convicts and converts sinners, dwells in the believer, keeps the believer from the power of sin, and leads him to the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God given by inspiration through Holy Men.

That in the Bible, God seeks to reveal His will to man and man seeks to respond to God’s revelation.

We believe that the union of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is revealed through His Church.

That all believers are united into one body, the Church.

We believe that Christ is coming back for His Church without spot or wrinkle.

That without without Holiness in spirit, soul, and body, no man shall see the Lord.
