Our Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of For All Believers Bible Church based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
The Father - God
We believe that God is eternal and has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons within the Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

1 John 5:7
The Son - Jesus
Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again someday to earth to reign as King.

The Bible - The Word of God
The Bible was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs about living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without error.
Isaiah 55:11 | 2 Timothy 3:16 | 2 Peter 1:20-21
Isaiah 55:11 | 2 Timothy 3:16 | 2 Peter 1:20-21
The Grace Gift – Salvation
Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
John 14:6 | Romans 10:9-10 | Ephesians 2:8-9
John 14:6 | Romans 10:9-10 | Ephesians 2:8-9
The Declaration – Baptism
Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, baptism is a way for us to publicly declare our new life in Christ. It is also a step of obedience based on God’s commands and allows us to follow the example of Jesus, who submitted himself to baptism to “fulfill all righteousness.”
Matthew 3:16 | Matthew 28:19 | Acts 10:44-48
Matthew 3:16 | Matthew 28:19 | Acts 10:44-48
The Future – Heaven or Hell
We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.
