New Harvest Church

In essential beliefs – we have unity.

There is one body and one Spirit … there is one Lord one faith one baptism and one God and Father of us all … Eph. 4:4-6
In non-essential beliefs – we have liberty.
Accept him whose faith is weak without passing judgment on disputable matters … Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls… So then each of us will give an account of himself to God … So whatever you believe about things keep between yourself and God. Rom.14:1 4 12 22
In all our beliefs – we show love.
… If I hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but also the very secrets of God and if I have the faith that can move mountains – but have no love I amount to nothing at all. 1 Cor. 13:2 (Ph)
The Essentials We Believe
The Word of God
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
The Trinity
We believe that there is one living and true God eternally existing in three persons that these are equal in every divine perfection and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation providence and redemption.
God the Father
We believe in God the Father an infinite personal spirit perfect in holiness wisdom power and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of each person that He hears and answers prayer and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ God’s only begotten Son conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth sinless life miracles and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death bodily resurrection ascension into heaven perpetual intercession for His people and personal visible return to earth.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin righteousness and judgment and to regenerate sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ and that He is an abiding helper teacher and guide.
Regeneration
We believe that all people are sinners by nature and by choice and are therefore under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
The Church
We believe in the universal church a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ baptized on a credible confession of faith and associated for worship work and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of giving the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.
Christian Conduct
We believe that Christians should live for the glory of God and the well-being of others; that their conduct should be blameless before the world; that they should be faithful stewards of their possessions; and that they should seek to realize for themselves and others the full stature of maturity in Christ.
The Ordinances
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water into the name of the triune God. We believe that the Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ for commemoration of His death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Religious Liberty
We believe that every human being has direct relations with God and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; that each church is independent and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that therefore Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions each fulfilling its duties free from dictation or patronage of the other.
Church Cooperation
We believe that local churches can best promote the cause of Jesus Christ by cooperating with one another in a denominational organization. Such an organization whether a regional or district conference exists and functions by the will of the churches. Cooperation in a conference is voluntary and may be terminated at any time. Churches may likewise cooperate with interdenominational fellowships on a voluntary basis.
The Last Things
We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body the final judgment the eternal felicity of the righteous and the endless suffering of the wicked.
