CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
“It is by the name of Jesus Christ…….. 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4: 10-12
We stand immoveable on the fact that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to get to Heaven and it is through a repentance of sin, and a surrender of ones life to Christ that is the requirement for man to make Heaven their eternal home.
BIBLE AS OUR SOLE AUTHORITY
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work”. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Since God’s Word is the only completely reliable and truthful authority, we accept the Bible as our manual for living. Our first question when faced with a decision should always be “What does the Bible say?” We practice daily Bible reading, Bible study, and Bible memorization. The Bible is the basis for all we believe.
PRIESTHOOD OF EVERY BELIEVER
“Christ loves us, and by His death He has freed us from our sins and made us a kingdom of priests to serve God...” Rev. 1:6 (GN) “You are...the King’s priests...God’s own people, chosen to proclaim the wonderful acts of God.” 1 Pet. 2:9 (GN)
The Bible teaches that every Christian is called to “full time” Christian service, regardless of his or her vocation. We practice the truth that every believer is a minister by encouraging every member to find a place of service and ministry. Every believer has direct access to God through prayer Bible reading.
BAPTISM
“For when you were baptized, you were buried with Christ, and in baptism you were also raised with Christ...” Col. 2:12 (GN)
We practice baptism by immersion under water — the way Jesus was baptized, and the way the Bible commands.
SPIRIT-LED LIVING
(Jesus said), “I am the Vine, you are the branches. If you abide in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; but apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
We believe the only way possible to live the Christian life is by God’s power within us. So we seek to practice a daily dependence on God’s Spirit to enable us to do what is right. (Phil. 2:13, Eph. 5:18)
WITNESSING
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” 1 Peter 3:15
It is the responsibility of every Christian to share the Good News with those with whom God brings us into contact. We practice personal sharing about Christ and inviting friends to church.
TITHING/GIVING
“A tithe of everything you produce belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.” Lev. 26:30
“Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Cor 9:7
At Light Point Community Church we give for the support of Christ’s body, the church, as God commands. We recognize that giving 10% of our income is the Biblical standard of giving, and also believe being a cheerful giver is just as important.
