Hillside Missionary Church

GOD.

There is but one eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing and everywhere-present Triune God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - who is the creator and sustainer of all things (Deuteronomy 6:4-5; 1 Timothy 2:5).

 

JESUS CHRIST.

Jesus Christ is God incarnate, yet human. He lived a sinless life, died to make atonement for the sins of all mankind, was bodily resurrected and is now mediator at the right hand of the Father. He is assuredly coming in power and glory for His believing followers, and is the only Savior of men (John 1:1, 14; Titus 2:11-14).

 

HOLY SPIRIT.

The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, regenerating all who repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He sanctifies, empowers, teaches, guides and comforts the believers (John 16:7,8, 12-15).

 

BIBLE.

The Bible is the inerrant and divinely inspired Word of God and thus authoritative in all matters it addresses (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

 

SALVATION

Salvation is by grace through faith in the in the atoning work of Jesus Christ by His death on the cross, burial and resurrection. Genuine faith results in genuine repentance of sin and grants forgiveness to the penitent, makes him a partaker of the divine nature giving them peace with God. (Galatians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:3-5).

 

CHURCH

We believe in the invisible and universal Church as an organism. It is composed of all believers in the Lord Jesus who have been vitally united by faith to Christ, its living Head and sovereign Lord (Matthew 16:18; Hebrews 12:22-24).

 

ORDINANCES

We believe the Christian ordinances are two: baptism and the Lord's Supper. We believe they are outward rites appointed by Christ to be administered in each church, not as a means of salvation, but as a visible sign and seal of its reality (Acts 8:36; 1 Corinthians 11:24-34).
