DOCTRINE
Statement of Faith of Whole Truth Gospel Tabernacle:
1. The Holy Trinity: We believe in the Holy Trinity consisting of the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit/Ghost, and they are co-equal, co-eternal, and co-existent, but separate in functions and activities. Per Matt. 28:19; Jn 1:1; 1Jn 5:7; Jn 3:16; Jn 15:26; 2 Cor. 3:14.
2. We believe in the bible as the divinely inspired word of God, the revelation of His mind and will to man, our infallible, all sufficient guide for salvation and for the Christian life. That it was written by holy men of old as they were moved upon by inspiration of the Holy Spirit/Ghost. Per Ps:119:89; Matt 24:35; 2 Tim 3:16, 17; 2 Pet 7:19-21; Heb. 4:12.
3. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit/Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; crucified to death, buried and resurrected. He ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God, the Father, and is true God and true man. He is the one mediator between God and man, and ever lives to make intercession for the saints. Per Jn3:16; Col 1:12-22; 1 Tim. 2:5; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4; Heb. 7:25.
4. Doctrine: We accept the Bible as the final authority, as to the pure word of God that separated sound doctrine from the traditions of men. Doctrine must be supported by scriptures in its proper context. Per Ps:119:89; Matt. 24:35; 2 Tim. 3:16,17; Heb. 4:12
5. The Fall of Man: We believe that man created in the image of God and by voluntary disobedience rebelled against God and fell from grace. Since the fall of man, in the Garden of Eden, all men have been born sinners. Per Gen. 1:27; Isa. 53:6; Rom. 3:19; Rom. 5:12.
6. Redemption and New Birth: Man's only hope for redemption is through the shed of blood of Jesus Christ. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us, and paid the price for our sins with his life on the cross. Those who refuse to accept Christ's sacrifice for sin are eternally lost, but those who repent of their sins, and personally receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, shall receive forgiveness of sins and everlasting life. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are now able to obtain salvation and healing for all mankind. Per Ps. 103:2; Matt. 16:16; Jn 3:3; Jn 3:16; Rom. 5:8; 2 Cor. 5:17, 16; Eph 2:8, 9; Col. 1:14.
7. Sanctification: We believe the Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in sanctification through the blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit/Ghost, the word of God, prayer and living a holy life. Per Heb. 12:14; 1 Thes. 5:23; 1 Cor. 1:2; 1 Cor. 1:30, 1 Pet. 1:13-16; Heb. 2:9-12.
