RALLY POINT MINISTRY / WHAT WE BELIEVE
Statement of Faith
The Bible
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were inspired by God and are inerrant in their original writings. They are the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
Scripture: Psalm 19:7–11; Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21.
The Trinity
We believe there is one God, the Creator, who eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Peter 1:2.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He is and always will be both truly God and truly man—the Son of God and the Son of Man.
Scripture: Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18–23; Luke 1:31–35; John 1:1, 14; Philippians 2:5–8; Hebrews 2:14–17.
Man
We believe God created Adam and Eve in His image. They sinned, bringing physical death and spiritual death—separation from God. As a result of Adam’s sin, all people are born with a sinful nature and stand guilty before God.
Scripture: Genesis 1:26–27; 2:16–17; 3:1–19; Romans 3:10–23; 5:12; Ephesians 2:1–3.
Salvation
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, offering Himself as our representative and substitute. All who repent and believe in Him are justified through His shed blood. Everyone who receives the Lord Jesus Christ by faith is born again by the Holy Spirit and becomes a child of God.
Scripture: Isaiah 53:5–6; John 1:12–13; 3:3–8; Romans 3:24–26; 5:1, 8–9; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Ephesians 2:8–9; 1 Peter 2:24.
Jesus Christ’s Resurrection and Present Ministry
We believe that our Lord rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now lives there for us as our High Priest and Advocate.
Scripture: Luke 24:1–7, 50–53; Acts 1:9–11; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8; Hebrews 4:14–16; 7:25; 1 John 2:1.
The Return of Jesus Christ
We believe in the blessed hope of the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Scripture: John 14:2–3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Titus 2:13; James 5:8–9; Revelation 22:12, 20.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells and gives spiritual life to all believers. He enables them to understand biblical truth, empowers them for godly living, and equips them for service and witness.
Scripture: John 14:16–17, 26; Romans 8:9–11; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 12:4–7; Galatians 5:16, 22–23; Acts 1:8.
The Future of the Saved and the Lost
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven, and the everlasting punishment of the lost in hell.
Scripture: Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46; John 5:28–29; Acts 24:15; Revelation 20:11–15; 21:1–4.
