We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit- and that these three are one God. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19)
We believe that Christ came by a virgin birth experience, as was prophesied by the prophet Isaiah 7:14, and the prophecy was fulfilled in Matthew 11:18-23
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God came into the world that he might manifest God to men, fulfill prophecy, and become the Redeemer of a lost world. To this end He was born of the Virgin Mary, received a human body and a sinless human nature without ceasing to be God. (Luke 1:30-35; John 1:1, 14,18; Hebrews 4:15; Philippians 2:5-11)
We believe that, in infinite love for the lost, He voluntarily accepted his Father’s will and became the divinely provided sacrificial lamb and took away the sins of the world. (Romans 3:25-36; II Corinthians 5:14; Hebrews 10:5-14)
We believe that he arose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which he lived and died, and that his resurrected body is the pattern of the body, which will ultimately be given to all believers. (John 20:20; Philippians 3:20-21)
We believe that, on departing from the earth, He was accepted by His Father and that the Father’s acceptance is a final assurance to us that Christ’s redeeming work was perfectly accomplished. (Hebrews 1:3)
We believe that he became Head over all things to the church, which is His body, and in this ministry, He does not cease to intercede and to be an advocate for the saved. (Luke 1:35; I Corinthians 15:1-3; Ephesians 1:23; Philippians 2:6-8; I Timothy 2:5; I john 2: 1-2)
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, dwells in every believer immediately after he places his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God provides, through the Holy Spirit, power to live the Christian life. (Romans 5:5, 8:9-11; Galatians 5:16-25)
We believe that every believer receives grace from God in the form of a spiritual gift, which enables him to functions as a member of the body of Christ. (Romans 12:6; I Corinthians 12:7; Ephesians 4:7)
We believe that upon receiving the Lord Jesus Christ by faith the believer passes immediately out of spiritual death into spiritual life and into fellowship with God. (John 1:12, 5:24)
We believe that the explicit message of our Lord Jesus Christ to those whom are saved is to make Christ known to the whole world and that this is the purpose of the church through the individuals within it. (Matthew 28:18-19; Acts 1:8; II Corinthians 5:11-21)
We believe that local churches, such as New Millennium Bible Fellowship, gather for practical instruction in the scriptures, for fellowship with God and with other believers, and for corporate witness to the unsaved world. Our common spiritual goal is to grow toward Christ’s likeness. (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:42-47; Romans 12:5; Ephesians 4:13-16)
We believe that a future period of great tribulation on the earth will be climaxed by the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth as He went in person in the clouds with power and great glory to establish his millennial kingdom. But prior to this tribulation, we believe there will be the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the air to receive to himself into heaven both his own who are alive and remain until his coming and also, all who died in Christ Jesus. (I Thessalonians 4:13-17; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelation 3:10)
We believe that all believer should seek to walk by the Spirit, separating themselves from worldly practices and witnessing by life and by word to the truths of the Holy Scripture. (Romans 12; Galatians 5:15, 25; II Corinthians 5:9-17)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper to be observed by all believers until His return. (Matthew 28:19; Luke 22:19-20; Acts 10:47-48)
We believe that the ordinance of baptism is immersion of the believer in water as it sets forth the essential facts in redemption- the death and resurrection to newness of life. (Romans 6:4; Acts 8:26-39) We believe that the Lord’s Supper is a privilege afforded to all believers in commemoration of our Lord’s death until he comes. (Corinthians 11:23-28)
