A COMPANY ARISING MINISTRIES
MINISTERIAL CORE BELIEFS/STATEMENT OF FAITH
FOUNDER: PASTOR MICHELLE SOTO
A Company Arising Ministries is committed to the historic Christian faith as handed down to us by the apostles and preserved for us in Scripture. We believe that there is one body and one Spirit, as we were called to one hope; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is o
ver all and through all and in all. We seek to be a Christ-centered, faith-building, bible-teaching community of believers. We believe and strive to attain the unity of the faith based on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets. We ascribe to develop and equip the body of Christ through the five-fold ministry of apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, who Christ himself gave as gifts for the equipping of the saints for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. STATEMENT OF FAITH
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
2.We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
