Please read this partial list of what we believe. I will be posting more of our belief's in the coming weeks.
This should give a better understanding of who we are in the Lord. Thank you and God Bless you as you are obedient to His Will and Faithful in His Service.
Apostle Ira Quentin Barnes:
What we at A Ray Of Hope Ministries believe.
1. We believe The Bible is the infallible Word of God written by man under Divine inspiration and instruction of God.
2. We believe in The Holy Trinity consisting of The Father (God) The Son (Jesus Christ) The Holy Ghost also called The Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in The laying on of hands and anointing with oil for Healing and also for consecrating and setting one aside for the work of the Ministry of God.
4. We believe in the Five Fold Ministry of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastor's and Teachers as instituted by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
5. We believe that as Christians it is our obligation to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to live our lives in such a way that the world will know to whom we belong.
6. We believe that through one man (Adam) sin, sickness, and death entered into the world. We also believe that through one man (Jesus Christ) sin, sickness, and Death were destroyed for all of those who have repented (turned away from) sin and have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Savior.
7. We believe that it is by the Grace of God through Faith in his Son Jesus Christ that we are saved from death, hell, and the grave.
8. We believe in a Christians Baptism by total submersion in water as Jesus was, is and outward sign of the inner working that Christ has begun in our lives, and that we are to be a living example of Christ by striving to walk as close to him as humanly possible in every area of our lives.
9. We believe in being baptized in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. We also believe that when we pray in tongues it is the Holy Ghost communicating directly with the Lord on our behalf because he knows better how to pray for us than we do ourselves.
10. We believe in the giving of Tithes and Offerings to support the Church or Ministry where your spirit is fed by the Word of God.
