BELIEF STATEMENT
THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT WE BELIEVE AT UNITY CHRISTIAN CENTER CHURCH
WE BELIEVE:
THE BIBLE
The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings and are the complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
THE GODHEAD
There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
JESUS
Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He received a human body and lived a sinless life and died on the cross, which was the complete and final sacrifice for our sins, according to the scriptures. Further, he arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is now at the right hand of God, making intercession for us, our High Priest and Advocate.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, dwells in every believer immediately after he places his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God provides, through the Holy Spirit, power to live the Christian life.
SALVATION
The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only way for justification and salvation for all who believe. We believe that no one can enter the kingdom of God unless born again spiritually, and that the new birth of the believer comes only through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We believe that our redemption has been accomplished by the grace of God, an unmerited gift, given in love by God and not the result of any human works.
BAPTISM AND COMMUNION
Water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior, is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ and only believers should share in it.
