St. Matthew's Temple of Christ was founded upon the five-fold gospel ministry. "And He gave some apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ," (Ephesians 4:11-12). Our purpose is to win souls to Christ, by the preaching of the Gospel; to advance spiritual truth and theology; to instruct and train all people in morality and righteous living according to the Word of God.
The Bible, the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, as the inspired Word of God without controversy. God--There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, immutable, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and existing in three Manifestations: as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ--Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Suffered under Pontius Pilot. He was crucifiend and died on the cross. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where He sits at the right hand of God the Father. He is now our High Priest and Mediator. The Holy Spirit--The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age, to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. Man--Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. Salvation--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 by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of God. The Return of Jesus Christ--The personal, premillenial, and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ is our hope and has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer. Future Events--There will be a bodily resurrection of all the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment. The Church--The true Church is composed of all such persons, who through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head. Baptism and Communion--Water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior, is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life and the Lord's Supper is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; all true believers and only believers should share in it.
