Tabernacle of Praise Kingdom Ministries Intl.

Tenets of Faith

Tabernacle Of Praise Kingdom Ministries, International is a Bible believing and a Bible practicing church. WE are a full gospel, non-denominational church whose only interest is to promote Christ and the Word of God. WE believe that the church is the body of Christ comprised of baptized believers and that Jesus is the head of the church according to I Corinthians 12:12-13; Colossians 1:18 WE believe the Bible, without dispute, to be the only infallible written Word of God. WE believe the Bible is the only source for doctrine and righteous living according to II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21 WE believe that man without Christ is alienated from God and is doomed for a literal hell. WE believe that man can escape this and come into a relationship with God by accepting Christ and His finished work on Calvary. This is known as Salvation. Salvation or being Born Again is necessary for entrance into the kingdom of God according to Saint John 3:3-5 WE believe that repentance precedes salvation and that regeneration (a change of nature), conversion (a change of life) and justification (a new position or standing with God) are results of salvation. WE believe in Water Baptism in the form of submersion. WE believe that water baptism is a consequent of salvation and not a prerequisite. WE also believe that water baptism is not an option but a command according to Saint Matthew 28:19 WE believe that the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity or Godhead and that He comes to reside in the believer; He instructs, guides, corrects and equips. HE IS GOD!! WE believe that every believer should be baptized with the Holy Ghost and live a spirit-filled life full of the fruit of the Spirit according to Acts 2:1-4; Ephesians 5:18-19; Galatians 5:22-23 WE believe and practice the administering of Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper. WE believe it to be an ordinance of the church instituted by "Christ himself according to St. Matthew 26:26-28; I Corinthians 11:23-30 WE believe in the imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is known as the Blessed Hope or the Rapture of the Church according to I Thessalonians 4:1-17; I Corinthians 15:51-53 Tabernacle Ministries 1994 Apostle Mark J. Page, General Overseer
