Beliefs
The beliefs of Tabernacle of Holiness center on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit working in every believer's life. They emphasize living in holiness, following the authority of the Bible, and using spiritual gifts to strengthen the church and fulfill God's mission on earth.
​
Our Beliefs
1. The Bible as God’s Inspired Word
We believe that the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired and infallible Word of God, and are the final authority for faith and practice.
2. One True God
We believe in the one true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This triune nature of God is foundational to our faith and worship.
3. The Deity of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death, bodily resurrection, and ascension into heaven, where He intercedes for believers.
​
4. Salvation Through Jesus Alone
Salvation is received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is by grace, not by works, that one is saved and brought into a personal relationship with God.
5. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is available to all believers and is evidenced by speaking in tongues. This baptism empowers Christians for witness and service.
​
6. The Gifts of the Spirit
We affirm the operation of the nine Gifts of the Spirit as described in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10: Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, Discernment, Tongues, and Interpretation of Tongues. These gifts are given by the Holy Spirit to empower the Church and bring glory to God.
7. Divine Healing
Healing is provided in the atoning work of Christ and available for physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration. Believers are encouraged to pray in faith for healing, trusting God’s power to heal.
​
8. The Church and Its Mission
The Church is the body of Christ, called to fulfill the Great Commission through evangelism, discipleship, and service. Every believer is a vital part of the Church and should actively participate in its ministry.
​
9. The Ordinances of the Church
We observe two ordinances: Water Baptism, symbolizing the believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection; and Communion, commemorating Christ’s sacrifice.
​
10. The Second Coming of Christ
We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ. This blessed hope motivates believers to live holy lives and to fulfill God’s purposes on earth.
11. The Final Judgment and Eternal Destiny
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved to eternal life and the lost to eternal punishment. This underscores the urgency of the Church’s mission.
12. The Importance of Holiness
We believe that the Church must be holy and set apart, living lives that reflect Christ’s character. Holiness is essential for God’s presence and power to be manifested among us, as it aligns us with His divine purposes.
