WHAT WE BELIEVE
1. We Believe: in the verbal inspiration of the Bible
2. We Believe: In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son & Holy Ghost
3. We Believe: That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost & born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried & raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven & is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
4. We Believe: That all has sinned & come short of the Glory of God that repentance is commanded of God for all & necessary for forgiveness of Sins.
5. We Believe: That justification, regeneration & the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
6. We Believe: In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word and by the Holy Ghost.
7. We Believe: Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
8. We Believe: In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
9. We Believe: In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
10. We Believe: In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
11. We Believe: Divine healing is provided for all in the Atonement.
12. We Believe: In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
13. We Believe: In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
14. We Believe: In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.
MISSION STATEMENT
In a world of negotiated values, confused identities and distorted priorities, The Linden Church of God is committed to God’s Word, our identity in Christ, and the primary tasks of worshiping God, and witnessing to the world. Our mission is to build a BRIDGE that reaches up to God through Prayer and Praise, reaches into the Scripture for guidance, then reaches out to the world and around one another.
