WHAT WE BELIEVE
From its beginnings the Pine Grove Church of God of Prophecy has based its belief on the “whole Bible rightly divided.” We accept the Bible as God’s Holy word, inspired, inherent, and infallible. We believe the Bible to be God’s written revelation of Himself to mankind and our guide in all matters of faith; therefore, we look to the bible as our highest authority for doctrine, practice, organization, and discipline.
We affirm that there is One God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in the physical miracles He preformed, in His atoning death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory at His second coming. We profess the regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential in the salvation of sinful man. We believe that sanctification by the blood of Christ makes personal holiness possible. We affirm the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling we are able to live godly lives and have power for service. We believe in the ultimate unity of believers as prayed by our Lord Jesus Christ in John 17. We believe in the sanctity of human life; we are committed to the sanctity of the marriage bond, and recognize the importance of strong, loving, Christian families. It is our mission to bear witness for Christ and His truth and to spread the Gospel of the Kingdom in all its fullness and power, so that the rule of God is brought about in the hearts of men.
In order to accomplish this mission we will pursue four primary objectives:
A. Worship God
B. Evangelize the lost
C. Equip Believers
D. Prepare for Christ’s Return
It is our fervent desire to fulfill our God-Ordained role in taking the gospel message of Jesus Christ to a lost world and to be an agent of reconciliation through which our Heavenly Father will one day answer the prayer of Jesus that we may all be made one in Him.
