What We Believe

 

The Grace Gospel Church Ministry is not affiliated with any denomination or organization. We are part of an organism, which is the Church (the body of Christ) being made up of many members.  Our only identification is Jesus Christ, who is the head of The Church.  Our endeavors are to teach the Word of God rightly divided utilizing proper aspects of Bible exegesis: grammatical, contextual and historical. 

 

We Believe the Bible Teaches

bullet

God has absolute power over all things. (Romans 13:1; Ephesians 1:21; Colossians 1: 16,17; 2:10).
 

bullet

Salvation is based absolutely on God’s sovereignty in election.  Before the creation of the world, He preordained some unto salvation (Ephesians 1:4-11). This alone forms the basis for the difference between the vessels of mercy and the vessels of wrath (Romans 9:21-23; Ephesians 1:3-6).
 

bullet

That the concept that God + man’s faith = salvation (Synergism) is erroneous. Mankind is totally depraved, dead in sins and trespasses, therefore he lacks any ability to assist in his salvation (Romans 3:9-12; Ephesians 2:1).
 

bullet

Salvation is by grace, through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ alone, which is a totally non-meritorious gift (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:21-28; 4:1-8; Galatians 2:16).
 

bullet

Once one is saved, one is always saved. Nothing on the part of mankind can be done to earn salvation; therefore nothing can be done to lose it (Romans 8:29-39; Ephesians 1:13-14 ; Philippians 1:6).
 

bullet

Salvation is obtained exclusively through the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 3:24-26; 5:17; 6: 3-10).
 

bullet

To properly study the Bible, it must be divided according to dispensations and covenants (2 Timothy 2:15; Ephesians 2:7; 11-13; 3;2).
 

bullet

The Apostle Paul had a different commission (Ephesians. 3:1-11) from that of the twelve Disciples of Christ and Kingdom Apostles (Matthew 10:1-9; 28:19; Mark 16:14-18; Acts 1:8).
 

bullet

Paul’s gospel was revealed to him by Jesus Christ, which was previously unknown (Ephesians 3;1-11; 6:19; Col. 4:3).  This is the message for the Body of Christ, the Grace Church (Rom. 11:13; 1Timothy 2:7, 2 Timothy. 1:11).
 

bullet

The preaching of Jesus Christ is formatted in two distinct revelations i.e., Kingdom/Prophecy to Israel and Grace /Mystery to the body of Christ (Acts 3:18,19; Romans 16:25; Galatians 2:7).
 

bullet

The revelation of the Mystery was given to the Apostle Paul for the body of Christ, thus the epistles of Paul comprise the basic doctrine/gospel for the body of Christ in this present administration of Grace (Ephesians 3:1-11).
 

bullet

The only relevant baptism for the church in the dispensation of Grace is performed exclusively by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 1:17, 12:13; Romans 6:3-4; Gal. 3:27; Ephesians 4:5; Colossians 2:12).  Water baptism is consigned to the Kingdom Gospel only (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Luke 3:3,16; John1: 28,31,33; Acts 1:4; 2:38,41; 1Peter 3:21).
