Core Principles
The Bible states in Hebrews 4:12 that the “Word of God” is alive and active. Here at Kingdom Faith International Christian Center, we fully embrace the Bible as THE “sole foundation” by which the ministry operates. This ministry has great confidence and faith in the Word of God. It is important for all members, and potential visitors, to not only know what we stand for, but read the biblical references for our beliefs. Here are fourteen foundational beliefs that fuel the faith this ministry operates in:
1. Believe In the Triune God – The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29)
2. Believe that Jesus Christ is the true God and true man. (Matthew 1:23)
3. Believe The Holy Spirit is a divine person. (Acts 5:3, 4; Hebrews 9:14; Romans 15:13-19)
4. Believe The Old and New Testaments are God’s divinely inspired words. (2 Timothy 3;15-17;
I Peter 1:23-35; Hebrews 4:12)
5. Believe all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God and are in need of salvation. (Rom 3:23)
6. Believe Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men. (1Cor 15-3;Heb 9:26)
7. Believe it is God’s will that every believer be filled with the Holy Spirit. (Titus 3:5-7; Romans 8:8-16)
8. Believe healing is provided in the redemptive work of Christ and is available to every believer. (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17)
9. Believe the Church consists of all those who have received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
10. Believer there shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust. (Luke 16:19-31; Rev 20:11
11. Believe in the personal visible, imminent return of Jesus Christ. (I & II Thessalonians; Revelations; Matthew 24, 25; mark 13; Luke 21)
12. Believe in Water Baptism and observance of the Lord’s Supper. (Matthew 28;19; Colossians 2:12; I Corinthians 11:23-30)
13. Believe every believer should tithe. The tithe belongs to God. The tithe is viewed by God as an “extreme” act of worship. (Malachi 3:10)
14. Believe in Total Prosperity. (3John 2), a) Spiritual (John 3:3), b) Mental (2 Timothy 1:7), c) Physical (Isaiah 53:4-5) and d) Financial (Malachi 3:8-12)
What to Expect During Our Service?
The love of God is always abounding within His Kingdom. One should expect to receive God’s love always. However, the world we live in today does not embrace the love of God nor does it readily show people how to expect such a gift from God. No matter when you attend service at Kingdom Faith International Christian, you should expect to feel the love of God at all times. This love can come in many forms such as the hug from a church member as you walk in the door, a worship song that touches your heart deeply, the fervent prayer for you by someone you do not know, and/or a word from God that is shared directly with you. These are few things you may expect to receive when you attend our services. Here are some other things you should expect to experience along with scriptural explanations for what you will see at Kingdom Faith International Christian Center.
