What We Believe

MCHCA Church Doctrine - Biblical Beliefs

The  Holy Bible :The Old and New Testament Scriptures of the Bible are the inspired Word of God. The bible is one book, having one subject, and one Author, and many writers. The Bible is the living Word of God, it is eternal and will stand forever. ( 1 Peter 1:24-25)

Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is the Son of God miraculously conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as the complete and final sacrifice for our sins, was resurrected, ascended into heaven, sat at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Advocate, and will one day return. It is only through Him that men may come to the Father and be saved.

Salvation:  Salvation consists of deliverance from all sin and unrighteousness through the blood of Jesus Christ. It is obtained by the believer's confessing with their mouth the Lord Jesus and believing in their heart that God raised Him from the dead. ( Romans 10:5)

Water Baptism: This is an ordinance of the Church commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ. Water baptism is a confirmation or symbol of a believer's faith in Jesus Christ. ( Matthew 28:18-19)

The Baptism of the Holy Ghost: The Baptism of the Holy Ghost is the gift of God through Christ Jesus to the children of God. One of the evidences of baptism in the Holy Ghost is the gift of speaking in other tongues

Holiness: After salvation we are commanded to "go and sin no more. We are commanded to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present word. It is the power of the the Holy Spirit that helps us to accomplish our goal of living a life that is holy an acceptable unto God.

The Holy Ghost:The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, convict men of sin, regenerate the believer, then indwell, guide, comfort, instruct, and empower them to do the will of the Father. Salvation Only through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ and repentance from sin can one be reconciled to God and experience true life and joy.

Marriage: Marriage is a biblical institution and covenant that is shared between one man and one woman before God. It is the representation of the relationship between God and His Church. 

Communion: The Lord’s Supper is a sacred, symbolic ceremony reminding us of the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus Christ for our sins as the true Passover Lamb. We partake of the communion to memorialize the Lord's death until he returns.

The Second Coming of Christ: Jesus shall return to this earth in bodily form just as he went away to receive His bride, the Church.
