What we believe

As written in our constitution, the MLGC Statement of Faith outlines that we believe in

• The Verbal inspiration of the accepted Cannon of the Sacred Scriptures as originally given.

• The Tri-Unity of the Godhead.

• The creation, test and fall of man, as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual depravity, and inability to attain to divine righteousness.

• The Savior of men, the Lord Jesus Christ, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man.

• The Gospel of the Grace of God, how that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day for our justification.

• The salvation of sinners by Grace alone, through faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary, by which we secure remission of sins.

• The bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His enthronement, and His personal coming for His Church.

• Water Baptism of believers by immersion in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

• The Baptism with the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation, with the scriptural evidence; namely, speaking “with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

• The gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12 – 14 being exercised and practiced as manifest in the early church.

• The Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world, and the perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian Faith.

• The healing of the body by Divine Power, or Divine Healing in its many aspects as practiced by the early church.

• The Lord’s Memorial, commonly called, for Believers.

• The eternal life of the believers and the eternal punishment of the unbeliever.

• The reality and personality of Satan.

• The sanctity of marriage, as a life long exclusive commitment between one man and one woman
