We also believe that without faith it is impossible to please God. The Word tells us that the just (those who have been justified by the blood of Jesus) shall live by faith. The redemptive work of Jesus not only provided salvation for the believer, but healing and prosperity as well for our spiritual, soulish and physical man. We are redeemed from the curse of the law - poverty, sickness, opression, and anything that prevents us from fulfilling His plan. We believe the premillenial Third Coming of Jesus Christ is two-part in nature; He will come in the air to ressurect the righteous dead and catch away the living saints. He will then come to the earth to establish His physical Kingdom, and begin His thousand-year reign. There will be a bodily resurrection of the dead; the believer to everlasting joy with the Lord and the unbeliever to judgment and eternal punishment.
Therefore, we encourage one another in the blessed hope of our Lord's return; to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember each and every believer in this world in prayer; to admonish each other to continue steadfastly in the doctrine of God, knowing that all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the people of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Therefore, the purpose of this House of Prayer shall be to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, of public worship of God, schooling, promotion of the Great Commission, united prayer, and praise, cultivation of the spiritual life, edification of the saints, promotion of world-wide evangelism, fellowship of true disciples and the maintenance of a testimony and lifestyle for fundamental Christianity.
