Our CULTURE Our DNA

our BELIEFS

THE SCRIPTURES

The Bible, comprising 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired and inerrant Word of God and the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. It is the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
(Ps 19:7; 2 Tim 3:16; 2 Pet 1:21)

GOD

We believe that there is only one true and living God existing in three Persons–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–each a distinct Person, but all of one essence and all having the same nature, perfections, and attributes, and each is worthy of precisely the same worship, confidence, and obedience.
(Gen 1:26; Jer. 10:10; Matt 3:16-17;28.19).

JESUS CHRIST

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a perfect sinless life. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures, rose literally from the grave, and ascended into Heaven, where, at the right hand of the Father, He is interceding on our behalf.
(Isa 7.14; Matt 1:18-25; 1 Cor. 15:3; Heb. 4:15).

HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, dwells in every believer immediately after he places his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God provides, through the Holy Spirit, power to live the Christian life.
(Romans 5:5; 8:1-9; Galatians 5:16-25)

SATAN

We believe that Satan, the devil, is the prince of demons and the declared adversary of God and man. However, when the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross, He limited the power of the devil and guaranteed the ultimate triumph of God.
(Ephesians 2:2; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 20:10; Colossians 2:13-15)

SALVATION

We believe that all who, in faith, receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior are born again by the Holy Spirit and thus become the children of God. We believe that no one can enter the kingdom of God unless born again spiritually, and that the new birth of the believer comes only through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We believe, also, that our redemption has been accomplished by the grace of God, an unmerited gift, given in love by God and not the result of any human works.
(John 3:17-18; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13;
Romans 4:4-5)

THE LOCAL CHURCH

We believe that the New Testament church is a local body of baptized believers with Christ as its head and the Holy Spirit as its guide. We believe that local churches, such as Revive Bible Church, gather together for practical instruction in the scriptures, for fellowship with God and with other believers, and for corporate witness to the unsaved world. Our common spiritual goal is to grow toward Christ’s likeness. We believe that the local church observes two ordinances baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that all who have received Christ as Savior and Lord should be baptized in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; that baptism is by immersion in the likeness of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ; and that the Lord’s Supper should be observed in remembrance of Him to show forth His death for our sins until He comes again.
(Matthew 28:18-20; 26:26-30; Acts 2:42-47; Romans 6:3-6; 12:5; 1 Cor. 11:23- 26; Ephesians 4:13-16)

THE RAPTURE AND THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

We believe that a future period of great tribulation on the earth will be climaxed by the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth as He went in person in the clouds with power and great glory to establish His millennial kingdom. But prior to this tribulation, we believe there will be the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the air to receive to Himself into Heaven both His own who are alive and remain until His coming and also all who have died in Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelation 3:10

ETERNAL STATE

We believe that at death the spirits and souls of those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation pass immediately into His presence and there remain in conscious bliss until the resurrection of the glorified body when Christ comes for His own, whereupon soul and body reunited shall be associated with Him forever in glory. All those who rejected Jesus Christ will eternally be separated from God to endure His eternal wrath forever.
(2 Corinthians 5:8; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:1-27)

RESPONSIBILITY OF BELIEVERS

We believe that all believers should seek to walk by the Spirit, separating themselves from worldly practices and witnessing by life and by word the truths of the Holy Scripture. We believe that all believers will be judged at the judgment seat of Christ and rewarded based on their faithful obedience to Him in this life.
(Romans 12; Galatians 5:16, 25; 2 Corinthians 5:9-17;
1 Corinthians 3:10-17)
