What We Believe!
   

Bonham First Assembly of God  - What We Believe

 
  • We believe that the scriptures are inspired by God.

  • We Believe there is One True God revealed in three persons.

  • We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • We believe that man willingly fell into sin - ushering in evil an death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.

  • We believe every person can be restored to fellowship with God through accepting Christ's offer of forgiveness and salvation.

  • We believe in water baptism by immersion after salvation, and Holy Communion as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.

  • We believe the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience available to all following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service.

  • We believe the initial evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in other tongues as experienced on the Day of Pentecost.

  • We believe sanctification initially occurs at Salvation, but is a progressive, lifelong process.

  • We believe the church has a mission to seek and share the gospel with all who do not know Jesus.

  • We believe a divinely called and biblically ordained leadership ministry serves the church.

  • We believe divine healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided for in Christ's atonement.

  • We believe in the Blessed Hope - when Jesus raptures his church prior to His return to Earth.

  • We believe in the millennial reign of Christ - when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His rule over earth for a thousand years.

  • We believe in a final judgment for those who have rejected Christ.

  • We believe in a new heaven and a new earth that Christ is preparing for all people who have accepted Him.
