Love Fellowship Church Core Beliefs

                                                                                              WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.  In one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

That Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary.   He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures.  Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Majesty on High.  He now is our High Priest and Advocate. That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.  And during this age to convict the sinner man, regenerate the believer, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.

That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God. That water baptism, the Lord's Supper and feet washing are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age.  They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation. 

That the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been restored by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head.  That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church and that every local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs. 

Concerning Sex and Sexuality   

We beleive according to the scripture that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Also, that sex is given to male and female for reproductive purposes, marital bonding and pleasure. Sexuality according to the scripture is determined by sexual purity, which God has outlined in his Word.
