What We Believe
Although United Trinity Church is a non-denominational
church, Pastor Denny Sikes is an ordained Assembly of God Minister, and we
do hold to the 16 doctrinal truths of the Assembly of God:
The Scriptures Inspired-The Scriptures, both the Old and
New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation
of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and
conduct.
The One True God-The one true God has revealed Himself as
the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven
and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed
Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association
as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ-The Lord Jesus Christ is
the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare his virgin birth,
sinless, life, miracles, substitutionary work on the cross, bodily
resurrection from the dead, exaltation to the right hand of God.
The Fall of Man- Man was created good and upright; for God
said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our
likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and
thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death,
which is separation from God.
The Salvation of Man-Man's only hope of redemption is
through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
The Ordinances of the
Church-Baptism in Water
and Holy Communion.
The Baptism in the Holy Ghost-All believers
are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the
promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire,
according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the
normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it
comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of
the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in
the Holy Ghost-The baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is
witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other
tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.
Sanctification-Sanctification is an act of
separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God.
The Church and its Mission-The Church is the
Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with
divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission.
Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the
General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in
heaven.
The Ministry-A divinely called and
scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the
threefold purpose of leading the Church in: Evangelization of the
world, Worship of God, Building a body of saints being perfected in
the image of His Son.
Divine Healing-Divine healing is an integral
part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the
atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.
The Blessed Hope-The resurrection of those
who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with
those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the
imminent and blessed hope of the church.
The Millennial Reign of Christ-The second
coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our
blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His
saints to reign on earth for one thousand years. This millennial
reign will bring the salvation of national Israel, and the
establishment of universal peace.
The Final Judgment-There will be a final
judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged
according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book
of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the
false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in
the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second
death.
The New Heavens and
the New Earth-"We, according to His promise, look for new
heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness."
