Following the teachings of the Apostles (who were directly taught by Jesus) in the book of Acts, we believe in One God, Baptism in Jesus name by immersion, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. In a Spirit-filled service at Faith Apostolic Church you can expect to see peo
ple clapping their hands and shouting just as the Scriptures describe: "O clap your hands all you people; shout unto God," (Psalms 47:1). You will also see people "Lift up their hands in the sanctuary," (Psalms 134:2). For this reason Paul wrote, "I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands," (I Timothy 2:8). "Lift up their voice with one accord," (Acts 4:24). This means that our church will sometimes worship the Lord "aloud". Just as the early Christians did, we may worship with a "loud voice" (Luke 19:34), or at times worship solemnly as the holy hush of God falls upon the congregation. At these times the Lord seems to whisper " Be still and know that I am God," (Psalms 46:10). Another way we praise the Lord is with musical instruments. Just as King David, a man after
God's own heart (Acts 13:22), the church may "Praise Him with the stringed instruments and organs...Praise upon the loud cymbals," (Psalms 150:4-5). Sometimes the Spirit of God moves in such a way that someone may even "Praise His name in the dance," (Psalms 149:3). A very important part of every service is the operation of the gifts of the Spirit (I Corinthians 12:6-10). Oftentimes the Lord will speak to the congregation through the gifts of tongues and interpretation of tongues: "If any man speak in an unknown tongue...let one interpret," (I Corinthians 14:27). (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH OTHER TONGUES OF ACTS 2:38). One person will speak a message in tongues, often in a bold booming voice, and another person will interpret that message so that all may understand (I Corinthians 14:22). If someone gives a message without there being tongues, it is considered a prophecy (I Corinthians 14:1-15). These messages come directly from God, and the Bible says, "Forbid not to speak with tongues," (I Corinthians 14:39). A Spirit-filled service will almost always include prayer for the sick. The Bible says: "Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord," (James 5:14). The healing of the sick is one of the signs which Jesus said would follow believers (Mark 16:18). It is made possible by the marks of the whip laid upon Jesus' back (Isaiah 53:5, I Peter 2:24, Matthew 8:17). The pages of the Bible do indeed come alive in a Spirit-filled service. We love Spirit-filled worship and it is our desire to share it with the entire world. Please feel free to join us as we lift the name of Jesus together.
