What we believe<\/p>

Statement of Faith<\/h1>

The Ecclesia is the church of Harvest Cry International and holds to its statement of faith.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Our Beliefs & Values<\/p>

Our beliefs<\/b><\/h2>
<\/div>\n

This brief statement of faith does not cover the full extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and authoritative Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Harvest Cry\u2019s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our President and Elders are Harvest Cry\u2019s final interpretive authority on the Bible\u2019s meaning and application.<\/p>

God<\/h3>

We believe in only one God who has existed eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, his virgin birth, his sinless life, his miracles, his death as an atonement for sin through the shedding of blood, his bodily resurrection, his ascension to heaven, and his personal return in power and glory. We believe in the bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the dead for both salvation and final judgment.<\/p>

Bible<\/h3>

We believe that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God through which God has disclosed his character, his will, and his plan of redemption.<\/p>

Human Beings<\/h3>

We believe that human beings are sinful, guilty, and lost without Christ and that salvation from the consequences of sin comes only through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross where he bore our sins and died on our behalf.<\/p>

Salvation<\/h3>

We believe that sinners are made right before God only by God\u2019s grace, through faith in Jesus Christ.<\/p>

Holy Spirit<\/h3>

We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit whose presence enables believers to live by faith and grow in spiritual maturity, gives Spiritual Gifts for today, and enables believers to operate in power.<\/p>

\u201cChristians everywhere have undiscovered and unused spiritual gifts. The leader must help bring those gifts into the service of the kingdom, to develop them, to marshal their power. Spirituality alone does not make a leader; natural gifts and those given by God must be there too.\u201cJ Oswald Sanders<\/cite><\/div>\n
