New Hope Christian Fellowship's Beliefs 401 S. Lincoln, Ponca City, Oklahoma |
|
We believe that Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life and died on the cross. That He rose from the dead and is seated in Heaven and will return to glory and power. Jesus Christ was and is and will always be the second person of the God head and is deity.
|
We believe that all the gifts of the Holy Sprit found are valid for today. Each believer is given gifts and callings from the Lord to glorify God and build up the body of Christ.
|
We believe that salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned or maintained by any merit on our part.
|
We believe in the eternal security of the believer. Once truly received, salvation cannot be lost. Salvation comes from grace only through faith only in the atoning work of Jesus at Calvary. |
We believe that at salvation man's sins are not only forgiven but his spirit is made alive to God by the Holy Spirit indwelling it. |
We believe man does not do good works to get saved or to maintain his salvation; rather, man does good works because he is saved. |
Our view on eternal security is if you are truly saved you are forever saved. This does not mean that a person is free to live in a sinful and unbiblical fashion. |
We feel that as Christians we must strive for unity. This requires that we agree on the essential of the Christian faith, agree to disagree on the nonessentials, and strive to have love in all else |
Our time on earth is limited and we see ourselves more as Christians than a particular denomination. |
We are a church that believes that Jesus gives true hope for broken, shattered lives, and real healing is found only in a relationship with Jesus Christ. |
When you visit us you will not find a perfect church. You will find people seeking to walk with the Lord. Reaching out to the lost and hurting and striving to love and care for each other. |
Therefore it is our goal to impact our families, neighborhood, city and world with the life giving and life changing gospel of Jesus Christ through personal and corporate evangelism. |

4. New Hope Christian Fellowship will be an evangelistic fellowship. We believe that God uses 3 things to reach an unsaved world in order to reveal Himself. The Bible, His word and the Holy Spirit to enlighten people to the truth and draw men to Himself and the child of God to be his instruments that carries the Gospel. |
