Substance Institute ~ Beliefs – The Persons, The Purpose & The Plan
1. We believe that there are three dimensions of one God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (I John 5:7, Matthew 28:19). In the one God who is eternal in His existence, and as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that He is sovereign and absolute in His authority (I Tim 3:16). In the Father who is God Himself, Creator of the universe (Genesis 1, I John 1:1). In Jesus is the Son of God (Colossians 2:9, Luke 3:21-23). He suffered, died, was buried and rose from the dead for our total salvation (Philippians 2:5-11). Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him (John 3:36, John 14-6). Jesus Christ will literally return to earth.
2. We believe in the Holy Spirit who is God indwelling, empowering and regenerating the Believer. This Holy Spirit is called the Comforter. He is also The Spirit of Truth (John 14:16-17, 26). The blood of Jesus Christ atones for our sins and iniquity. It is through His shed blood that we are saved, healed and set free from the bondage and the forces of darkness (Romans 5:9-11, Ephesians 1:7, Revelation 12:11). The Bible is the true infallible Word of God, which cleanses our souls. It holds the words of eternal life and the keys to the Kingdom of God. The Bible shows us God’s principles and standards for living, and it is the food that sustains us in all circumstances (John 1:14, II Timothy 3:16-17, I John 2:5-6).
3. We believe that man is a creation of God, made in His image, but that through the sin of the first man, Adam; mankind fell so that all men are sinners and need salvation. In justification by faith that salvation is free and apart from any work of man, and is a result of the sovereign grace of God (Ephesians 2: 8-9, Romans 5:1). Every person who is truly saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ. In worshiping the Lord in spirit, song and dance, and with the raising of our hands and we praise and worship Him with our whole being (Psalms 150:1-6, John 4:24).
4. We believe that, as Believers, we should be water baptized (by immersion). It is through baptism that we publicly identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:3-6, Colossians 2:11-14, Acts 2:38). Those persons who died in their sins without Christ spend eternity in hell and those persons who died with sins forgiven through Christ spend eternity in heaven. The Church is a local body of believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the head. Each believer has direct access to God in prayer through the Lord Jesus Christ.
5. We believe in the separation of Church and state, but not in the separation of God and government. Christians are to be the salt and light in society.
