Experience God in a personal way as we all pursue Him & His purpose together! Calvary Apostolic Church of Clintonville is a church that believes and teaches the full gospel of Jesus Christ. As Apostolics, we endeavor to "continue in the faith which was once delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3). About the Bible: The Bible is the inspired Word of God and our guidebook for living. It gives us a true h
istory of the creation of the heavens, the earth, and of mankind. It tells us, correctly, of events to come regarding the heavens, earth, and the destiny of man. There is no salvation outside of that which is contained in its pages. The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living (II Timothy 3:16). About God: There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifest in flesh. He is both God and man. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16)
About Sin and Salvation: Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice and blood of Jesus Christ. Our basic and fundamental doctrine shall be the Bible standard of full salvation, which is the absolute essentiality of repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:3-5; Acts 2:38; I Peter 3:20, 21; Mark 16:15; Titus 3:5).
*We believe the Bible teaches that the above statement to be essential and not subsequent to salvation. About the Gospel: The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism by immersion in the Name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) (I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4). About Christian Living: As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. God is Holy, and he requires us to pursue holiness (separation) unto him. Leviticus 19:2 says, "...You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy." (I Peter 2:9; II Corinthians 7:1; Mark 16: 17-18; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14). We also believe that the supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today (I Corinthians 12:8-10). About the Future: Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death (I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15).
