WE BELIEVE THAT...
The Bible, both The Old and New Covenant is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit. There is only one true God, existing in three distinct persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29). Jesus is God, who is the image of the invisible God (Colossians 2:9). Being conceived by the Holy Spirit of a virgin (Matthew 1:18), and died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the world. Who arose again on the third day, ascending to heaven, where He is seated at the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf (Hebrews 8:1). The grace of God, which brings salvation, has been revealed to all men, through the preaching of repentance of sin and through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:13). Baptism is by full immersion in water, in the Name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The ordinance of Baptism by burial with Christ should be observed (as commanded in the Scriptures by all that have repented of their sins and in their hearts have believed on Christ as their Savior and Lord. In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have also been released to walk with Him in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Acts 19:5; Romans 6:4). All believers should ardently and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire. With it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31). This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the New Birth (Acts 2:38). Jesus will return for His Church and those that are alive will meet Him in the air a long with those who have died in Christ before (1 Thessalonians 4:17). The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides divine healing of the human body in answer to the prayer of faith (Matthew 9:20-22). At the end of the ages, Jesus will return to earth to establish His millennial kingdom (2Thessalonians 1 :7; Revelation 20:1-7). ESYF operates under the following biblical doctrines:
The Word of God is the authority that introduces to the world the concept of marriage as a sacred institution. It's defined as a union exclusively between a man and a woman. (Matthew 19:4-6; 1st Corinthians 7:2-3; Hebrews 13:4; Genesis 2:22-24), the church adheres to the biblical definition of marriage and will not deviate from this truth.
