We believe
that Jesus is the Son of God.
We believe that He died on the cross and rose again on the third day, thus
completing the plan of redemption. We believe that you must know
Jesus as your savior in order to have eternal life. We also believe
that eternal life starts when you are born again and that we can inherit
God's blessing now, as His children.
We believe
in the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
We believe
that Christianity
is a way of life, and not just a religion. We endeavor to walk according
to biblical principles in our daily lives, and the teaching in our church
emphasizes scriptural truths for practical living.
We endeavor
to minister
to the entire family during our worship services and throughout the week.
We provide men's and women's fellowship opportunities, AMF youth activities,
church fellowship and outreach activities.
During our worship
service, you may see one or all of the following practices. We reference
these in the Bible for your knowledge:
Raising
Hands - (1 Timothy 2:8)
Laying on of Hands
- Imparting blessing and transferring Spiritual power (2 Timothy 1:6,
Hebrews 6:2)
Speaking in Tongues
- a devotional method of praying referred to at Pentecost; a Spiritual
manifestation. "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and
began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance." (Acts
2:4)
"Wherefore, brethren,
covet to prophecy, and forbid not to speak with tongues." (1 Corinthians
14:39) Also see Acts 19:6 and 1 Corinthians 14:2
Falling under the
Power - a person who falls to the ground in the presence of God.
"As soon then as he said unto them, I am He. they went backward, and fell
to the ground." (John 18:6) Also see Revelation 4:10, Matthew 17:6 &
Acts 9:4
For more study,
we recommend the following books, available in the Word Shoppe. "Why
Tongues?", "Why do People Fall Under the Power?", "Laying On Of Hands." |
