Live For Christ Healing & Deliverance Center is a Christian, Mission-Centered Organization, focused on making the Gospel available according to The Great Commision found in Matthew 28:18-20 ( "Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you). While committed to excellence in the presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, this platform is governed by a set of theological affirmations. This is not intended to restrict or limit use of this site, but to promote trust in the contents contained therein.
Docrtine of Scripture: We believe that the bible is the inspired, infallible living word of God, and is God's unique revelation to all maknind. We believe the bible to be the supreme and final authority.
according to John 1:1-3 ("In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made"). We believe the bible is without error in what it teaches and affirms, and no other writings are vested with such divine authority.
Doctrine of God: We believe there is only One True Living God and He exisits in Three Persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost). We believe God (the Creator of Heaven and Earth) is the Creator of all things-The Source of all Life.
The Doctrine of Sin: We believe that everyone, regradless of race, gender, demographic background, education level, and or socio-economic status is created in the image and in the likeness of God for the purpose of fellowship or communion with God. We believe that because of sin, fellowship/communion was broken and all of humanity was separated from God (Romans 3:23 " For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God") who is the source of all life.
Doctrine of Salvation: We believe that Salvation cannot be earned through personally being "good" or our human effort. We believe that the "Free Gift of Salvation" is received by repentance and living a life of faith in Christ, His death, burial, and ressurection that grants us the right to th Tree of Life. We believe Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and the Life and no one comes to the Father but by Him (John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me").
Doctrine of Christ: We believe that Jesus is the second Person of the Trinity, and is God in Human Flesh, and was conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus, who knew no sin but became sin for all mankind (2 Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him"). We believe that Jesus conquered death, and the grave, and ascended to heaven and is seatd at the right-hand of the Father and is every believer's Advocate and Mediator (Romans 8:34 " It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.").
Doctrine of the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost): The Holy Spirit, The Third-Person of the God-Head gives new life to those who trust in Jesus. The Holy Spirit dwells in all born-again believer and serves as a compass that guides and empowers each believer to lead Christ-like lives. The Holy Spirit provides fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
and gives spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:8-11 "8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will").
Doctrine of Judgement: We believe in the Final Judgement where all unbelievers will be forever separated from the presence of God, and all beliveres will be recieved into God's Presence for eternity.
Doctrine of the Church: We believe that all born- again spirit-filled believers are members of the Body of Christ, The Church Ecclesia, or the Universal Church. Spiritual unity is to be expressed amonst all born-again believers by acceptance and love one another across all ethnic, cultural, socio-economic, nationality, generational, gender, and denominational lines. We believe in the purpose of the local church gathering for worship, prayer, instruction, encouragement, mutual accountability, communitywith each other, and as a witness to the world at-large.
