Covenant Christian Healing Ministries Beliefs
We worship one God in three persons and three persons in one God, without mixing the persons or dividing the Divine Being. For each person -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit -- is distinct and separate, but the deity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one, equal in glory and coeternal in majesty. What the Father is, so is the Son, and so is the Holy Spirit. The Father is uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated; The Father is eternal, the Son is also eternal, as is the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet they are not three who are eternal, but there is one who is eternal, just as they are not three who are uncreated, nor three who are infinite, but they are one who is uncreated and one who is infinite. In the same way the Father is almighty, the Son is almighty, and the Holy Spirit is almighty. And yet they are not three who are almighty, but together they are one who is almighty. So the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God. And yet they are not three Gods, but one God. The Father is neither made not created, nor begotten of anyone. The Son is neither made nor created, but is begotten of the Father alone. The Holy Spirit is neither made nor created nor begotten, but proceeds from the Father and the Son. So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Spirit, not three Holy Spirits. And within this Trinity none comes before or after; none is greater or inferior, but all three persons are coequal and coeternal, so that in every way, as stated before, all three persons are to be worshiped as one God and one God worshiped as three persons. Whoever wishes to be saved must have this conviction of the Trinity.
It is furthermore necessary for eternal salvation to believe that our Lord Jesus Christ also took on human flesh. Now this is the true Christian faith: We believe and confess, that our Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son, is both God and Man. He is God, eternally begotten from the nature of the Father, and He is man, born of a virgin, human mother. He is fully God, and fully man, with a rational soul and human flesh, equal to the Father, as to His deity, but less than the Father, as to His humanity; and though He is both God and Man, Christ is not two persons but one, one, not by changing the deity into flesh, but by taking the humanity into God; one, indeed, not by mixture of the natures, but by unity in one person.
Because of man’s sin, Christ, suffered for our salvation by His sacrifice and His atonement of dying on the cross; this act of love, released us from the law and gave us grace. He then descended into hell and preached to the lost spirits, rose on the third day from the pit of death, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty, and from there He will judge the living and the dead. At His Second Coming all people will rise again with their own resurrected bodies to answer for their own personal works. Those who have done good will enter eternal life, but those who have done evil will go into everlasting damnation, and eternal separation from God. There will be a Millennium, during which time Satan and his demons will be held in prison, only to be released and suffer the second death with their followers, suffering eternally in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. All those names not written in His Book of Life, at the Great White Throne judgment, will suffer the same death for their personal disbelief and evil works. Whoever does not faithfully and firmly believe these words and accept Jesus Christ as his Savior, will not be saved. Those accept Christ as Messiah but change their minds will have their names erased from the Book of Life and lose salvation.
