What Does The Rock Church Believe About...
GOD There is one God, Creator and Ruler of everything. He eternally exists in three parts: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
THE BIBLE God's Word is Truth. It was written by human authors under the influence, guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Scriptures are Divinely inspired, completely authoritative and free from error of any sort.
JESUS CHRIST is the Son of God. He is true God and true man, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross, the complete and final sacrifice for our sin. He bodily arose from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of God, He is now our Leader and Ambassador and is coming again a second time for the church.
HOLY SPIRIT The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus Christ, convict men of their need of Jesus Christ and restore the fallen believer by comforting, helping, guiding, empowering and indwelling the believer for Godly living and service.
MAN was created and made in the image of God, yet fallen and separated from his Creator. Only through restoration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and life be obtained.
SALVATION is a free gift from God. Only those who receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and become children of God. Man can never make up for his fallen and separated life by self-improvement and good deeds.
CHRISTIAN LIVING is a life separated for God and perfecting holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith. The Christian life is believing in God's promises, purposes and power.
THE CHURCH is the composition of all those who have, by faith, been restored by the Holy Spirit and united together as the body of Christ, of which Jesus is the head. The Rock Church is a body of believers committed to do their part in God's big plan. God's vision for the church is to establish His kingdom and be His craftsmanship. We are to worship and glorify God, be conformed to Christ's image, emulate the works of Jesus and make disciples of all nations.
ETERNITY Man will exist eternally. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence and man will either exist separated from God by sin, or restored in Christ by forgiveness. God gives man eternal life upon believing and calling upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
