jesus copyCHRIST CENTERED GOSPEL CHURCH BIBLICAL STANCE:

    1. WE believe that the Holy Bible, consisting of 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament, is the inspired Word of God. The Holy Scripture is our guide concerning Christian conducts and works. It is also our final authority in all matters. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17.
    2. WE believe that the Godhead consists of three separate, distinct, and recognizable personalities and qualities that are perfectly united as only one unchangeable Holy God. God manifested Himself in three distinctive ways known s as Godhead:  Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Mathew 3:16, 17; 28:19-20 Corinthians 13:14.
    3. WE believe in the virgin birth of Jesus as the only begotten Son of God who was also crucified for the sins of mankind. Isaiah 7:14; Mathew 1:18-25.
    4. WE believe that sin deprives and separates humanity from their Creator. The depravity as a result of sin committed by Adam and Eve has rendered humanity powerless and subjected human race to the wrath of God.  Job 14:4; Psalm 51:5; Romans 3:23.
    5. WE believe that the only way for anyone to be reconcile with God is through our Lord Jesus Christ, and this will not happen without genuine repentance which is a complete turning away from all sins.  Proverbs 28:13; Isaiah 55:7; Ezekiel 18:21-23; Acts 2:37-38; Hebrews 6:1-3.
    6. WE believe that true repentance lead the way to restitution of any wrong done to anyone. This means making amends for wrongs done against our fellow men, restoring stolen things to the rightful owners, and giving back where one has unjustly taking from other people. Genesis 20:1-8; 14-18; Exodus 22:1-7; Leviticus 6:1-17; Luke 19:8,9.
    7. WE believe in justification by faith in Christ finished work. Justification is the act of God’s grace whereby one receives forgiveness and remission of sins and is counted righteous before God. Believing in the atoning blood of Jesus qualifies believers to stand before God as though he had never sinned. Psalms 32:1,2; Isaiah 1:18; Micah 7:19; John 3:3-8; Romans 3:24-30; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
    8. WE believe in water baptism after someone has given his/her life to Jesus Christ. This is essential to our reaffirmation of faith and obedience to fulfill all righteousness.  The Biblical mode of water baptism is only by immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost as Jesus commanded. Mathew 28:19; Mark 16:15; Acts 2:38-39; Romans 6:4-5.
    9. WE believe in the sanctification is a definite act of God’s grace,  by which the believer’s heart is purified and made holy and it is obtained by faith in the sanctifying blood of Jesus Christ. For without holiness no man shall see the Lord: Hebrews 2:11; 10:10, 14; 13:11, 12; 12:14; Titus 2:11-14. 1 Peter 1:14-16.
    10. WE believe in observing the Lord’s Supper as it was constituted by Jesus Christ for every believer to observe as regularly as possible. By partaking in the Lord’s Supper believers in Christ can adequately commemorate or regularly shows the Lord’s death until He comes. Mathew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30.
    11. WE believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost. This experience called the endowment of power from on High upon the born again and sanctified believer. Jesus said, it is “the promise of the Father.” When one receives this gift of the Holy Ghost, it is usually marked by the initial evidence of speaking in unknown or unlearned language as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. We do not teach or instruct people how to speak in tongues. Acts 1:8; 2:1-4. Holy Spirit is giving by Christ to His disciples, for the people of the world cannot receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit.. 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; 14:1-40.
    12. WE believe that Christ has provided healing power through His stripes and the atoning blood. That Redemption from the curse of the law, Healing of sickness and disease do manifest through the divine intervention of Christ. The work Christ did on earth continues today in Christ Centered Gospel Church.  Isaiah 53:5; John 14:12-14; Mark 16:15-18; 1 Peter 2:24.
    13. WE believe in the great commission, which is “Personal Evangelism”. This is a God-given and Christ-ordained ministry for every believer. Soul-winning is one way for believers in Christ to demonstrate compassion of Christ to the world and thereby expand the body of Christ in this world. Daniel 12:3; Ezekiel 3:17-21; Mathew 28:19, 20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8.
    14. WE believe that Marriage is the institution of God for life. Monogamy is the uniform teaching of the Bible. Polygamy is contrary to God’s perfect will and the institution of marriage. WE believe that the Bible forbids a believer marrying an unbeliever, divorce and remarry while the first companion lives is not in compliance with the New Testament teachings. CCGC does not believe in wedding people outside the will of God in defiance of the word of God. Genesis 2:24; Deuteronomy 7:1-4; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Malachi 2:14-15; Mathew 5:31,32; 19:3-9; Romans 7:2,3; Ephesians 5:31-33.
    15. WE believe in the second coming of Christ. That Rapture will demonstrate the power of Christ by snatching away from the earth of all living saints; and those who died in the Lord. We believe in Pre-great tribulation in that the Rapture will take place before the Great Tribulation as predicted by Christ can happen any time from now.” It is described that In a twinkling of an eye” without a moment’s warning, “the trumpet shall sound”, “and the dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 John 3:1-3.
    16. WE believe in the Resurrection of the dead as taught in the Bible that on the last day every individual who has ever lived will be resurrected, while some will be to honor and glory, others will suffer everlasting shame and contempt. Job 19:25-27; Psalm 71:20; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; John 5:28,29; 1 Corinthians 15:12-57; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16; Hebrews 6:1,2; Philippians 3:8-11; Revelation 20:4,6,12,13.
    17. WE believe that the Great Tribulation will occur after the Rapture. Great tribulation is a time of terrible suffering on earth. The Antichrist will take possession of this world for a reign of terror. It is also referred to as the time of Jacob’s trouble. During this time, the He will not be a system or organization but a person in form of man  that will blaspheme and proclaim himself to be God Daniel 8:23,25; Mathew 24:21, 22, 29; Mark 13:19; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12; Revelation 9:16; 131-10. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb will take place above while the tribulation continues on earth Revelation 19:1-10.
    18. WE believe that the Second Coming of Christ will be just as literal and visible as when He departed from the earth. During this time, Christ will execute judgment upon the ungodly as He will set up His Kingdom and reign on this present earth for a thousand years. Zechariah 14:3, 4; Mathew 25:31-46; Mark 13:24-37; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; 2:8; Jude 14,15.
    19. We believe in Christ’s Millennial Reign for a period of 1,000 years. This literal reign of Jesus on earth will be ushered in by the coming of Jesus back to earth with ten thousands of His saints. At this time, Christ will execute judge upon nations that dwell on the face of the earth, while the devil will be bound. . Isaiah 2:2-4; 11:6-9; 65:25; Hosea 2:18; Zechariah 14:9-20; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10. Jude 14, 15;; Revelation 20:2,3.
    20. WE believe in that the Great White Throne Judgment. During this time is when God will finally judge all the living and the dead, small and great. Everyone that ever lived on the face of the earth will be judged according to their works. This will take place after the Millennium which is known as the final judgment or the Great White Throne Judgment. The believers whose names are written in the Book of the Lamb shall not be condemned with the world but rewarded for their labors for Christ. Dan 12:2,3; Matt 10:15; 11:21-24; 12:41,42; John 5:24, 28-29; 3:17-19; Rom 2:15,16; 14:12; 2 Pet 2:9; Jude 6; 1 Corinthians 6:1-4; Acts 10:42; Rev 20:11-15.
    21. WE believe in what the Bible says about the New Heaven and the New Earth. Apostle John described it as “where righteousness dwells” and the saints shall dwell with God forever in that city. Thus this present earth that has been polluted by sin will pass away. (Psalm 102:25, 26; Isaiah 51:6; 65:17; Mathew 5:18; 24:35; 2 Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 21:1). The Bible says, no unclean thing will be there. Saints shall be comforted and we shall recognize each other as well and the glory of the Lord will be the light thereof. Isaiah 66:22; 2 Peter 3:12, 13; 1 Corinthians 13:12; 1 John 3:2, 3; Rev 21:1-7; 22:1-5.
    22. WE believe that Hell-fire is real! It is a place of everlasting punishment where sinners will suffer a great torment forever and ever. Although the Hell was originally prepared for the devil and his angels but those who rejected Christ shall suffer in Hell with Satan. (Ps 9:17; Mathew 5:22,30; 25:41,46; Mark 9:43-47; Luke 12:4,5; 16:19-31;; Rev 14:10,11; 20:12-15..
