baptism<\/a> by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord\u2019s Supper by the symbolical use of bread and the fruit of the vine (1 Corinthians 11:24, 25).<\/p>\n10. Baptism with the Holy Spirit<\/strong> We believe that the baptism with the Holy Spirit empowers believers and that the Holy Spirit\u2019s incoming follows the same pattern that is described in the New Testament (Acts 2:4).<\/p>\n11. The Spirit-filled Life<\/strong> We believe that it is the will of God that we daily walk in the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30-32).<\/p>\n12. The Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit<\/strong> We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon Christians (1 Corinthians 12:1-11), and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (Galatians 5:22-25).<\/p>\n13. Moderation<\/strong> We believe that people who follow Christ should avoid the extremes of fanaticism and pursue lives of balance and moderation, demonstrating gentleness and patience (Philippians 4:5, KJV; Colossians 3:12, 13).<\/p>\n14. Divine Healing<\/strong> We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the sick in answer to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16).<\/p>\n15. The Second Coming of Christ<\/strong> We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17; Titus 2:11-13).<\/p>\n16. Church Relationship<\/strong> We believe that followers of Christ have a sacred duty to identify with the visible church of Jesus Christ and should meet regularly with fellow believers (Hebrews 10:24, 25).<\/p>\n17. Civil Government<\/strong> We believe that laws and ordinances come from God\u2019s ultimate author-ity and should be upheld, except when they are in opposition to the revealed will of God (Romans 13:1-5).<\/p>\n18. The Final Judgment<\/strong> We believe every person will one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ to receive eternal life or death (Revelation 20:11-15; Hebrews 9:27; 2 Corinthians 5:10).<\/p>\n19. Heaven<\/strong> We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17).<\/p>\n20. Hell<\/strong> We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as Savior (Revelation 20:10-15).<\/p>\n21. Evangelism<\/strong> We believe that the church\u2019s primary responsibility is taking the gospel to the entire world and making disciples (Mark 16:15; Matthew 28:19-20).<\/p>\n22. Tithes and Offerings<\/strong> We believe the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is giving tithes and offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"sync_status":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","castos_file_data":"","podmotor_file_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13435","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifecenter.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifecenter.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifecenter.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifecenter.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifecenter.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13435"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/lifecenter.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13435\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42566,"href":"https:\/\/lifecenter.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13435\/revisions\/42566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifecenter.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
