The Godhead

THE TRINITY

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal.

THE FATHER

God is Holy and matchless. He is the creator of all things making him all powerful, all knowing and ever-present. He is the same yesterday, today and forever and He keeps His word, never going back on it. He embodies love, mercy, compassion, justice, and faithfulness.

THE SON

Jesus Christ came to the world fully human and fully God. He was given as the perfect sacrifice without spot or blemish and became the substitute for man’s sinful condition. By the Spirit, He defeated death, hell, and the grave by rising on the third day so that we may have life and have it in abundance.

Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-25, Matthew 3:17, John 1:1-14, John 1:18, John 1:33-34, John 3:16-18, Romans 1:3-4, Romans 3:23-26, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Colossians 3:1, Galatians 4:4-5, Philippians 2:5-11, 1 John 1:7, 1 John 2:2

THE HOLY SPIRIT

Holy Spirit guides all believers into all truth. He convicts sinners according to their sin and believers according to God’s righteousness. Once Christ is accepted, the Spirit fills the believer and lavishes us with spiritual gifts as he molds us into the likeness of Christ. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is one of empowerment, endowment, and impartation, where the Spirit lavishes the believer with supernatural gifts. The impartation is accompanied by the speaking of tongues and/or prophetic utterances. This baptism produces boldness and power to serve the Body of Christ and the world around us.
