About Us
What We Believe
Crosspointe is
a member of the Church of God (www.churchofgod.org) based in Cleveland,
TN. The Church of God believes the
whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written
Word of God. The Church of God has adopted the following Declaration of Faith
as its standard and official expression of its doctrine.
We Believe:
- In
the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
- In
one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and
Holy Ghost.
- That
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy
Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and
raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right
hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
- That
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is
commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
- That
justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the
blood of Jesus Christ.
- In
sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of
Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
- Holiness
to be God's standard of living for His people.
- In
the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
- In
speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is
the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
- In
water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
- Divine
healing is provided for all in the atonement.
- In
the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
- In
the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the
righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air.
Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
- In
the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal
punishment for the wicked.
