What We Believe

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." - A.W. Tozer

Core Beliefs

The following are the core beliefs of JORDAN TEMPLE  based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

God

In one God eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

In the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired of God, inerrant in the original writings, and of supreme and final authority in all matters of life and faith.

That God the Son became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, who was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and is God and man.

Revelation

That man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Christ begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and is God and man.

That Jesus died for our sins as a substitution sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified by grace through faith, apart from works of any kind.

In the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us, as High Priest, Intercessor and Advocate.

Mankind

That all who have been justified are kept eternally secure by the power of God.

That Satan, a fallen angel, is a person and author of sin and the instigator of the angelic and the subsequent human rebellion against God. He is the declared enemy of God and man and he will be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire.

That Christ ordained water baptism and the observance of the Lord’s Supper until He returns.


The Fall

That it is the obligation of every believer to witness by life and by work and to seek to proclaim the Gospel to all the world; and it is the responsibility of all believers to remember the work of the Lord in prayer and to support it with their means as the Lord has prospered them; and that every believer has a spiritual gift(s) which should be used to edify the Body of Christ.

That the prophecy of the rapture of the Church will be fulfilled.

Salvation

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

The Church

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Ressurection

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
