REVISION CITY CHURCH
What We Believe
The Scriptures both Old and New Testament are the inspired, infallible revelation of God to man and the authority of faith and conduct.
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal (I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11).
The one true God has revealed HIMSELF AS THE “I AM,” the
Creator and Redeemer of mankind.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death and resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of
God.
Man’s only hope is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Salvation is by faith through grace and demonstrated in repentance.
(a) Water Baptism. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and by full immersion.
(b) Holy Communion. The Lord’s Supper consisting of the Body and Blood represented in the fruit of the vine and bread.
According to Acts 1:8 and Acts 2:4 with one of the signs
being speaking in other tongues along with other gifts.
The act of separation from that which is evil, and dedication unto God.
The church is the representative of Jesus on earth and is to
carry out the Great Commission.
A divinely called and scripturally ordained minister has been provided by God to lead the church in evangelization, worship, building the body, and general leadership of the
church.
Is provided for today by the Scriptures and included in the atonement for our sins.
The resurrection of the just is the blessed hope of the body of Christ.
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture and a return to earth by Christ with His saints for a thousand-year reign.
There will be a final judgment at which all men will be judged.
All of God’s children will reign forever in a new heaven and
a new earth.
We believe marriage is defined in the Bible as a covenant, a sacred bond between one man and one woman instituted by and publicly entered into before God
(“Biblical Definition of Marriage”). Because of the longstanding importance of the Biblical Definition of Marriage to humans and their relationships and communities, and, most importantly, the fact the God has ordained that marriage be between one man and one woman, as clearly conveyed in God’s inerrant Scriptures, including for example in Matthew 19:4-6 where in speaking about marriage Jesus referred to the fact that “he which made them at the beginning, made them male and female,” the Church herby creates this policy, which shall be known as the “Marriage
Policy.”
Under this Church’s Marriage Policy, the Traditional Definition of Marriage is the only definition of marriage that will be recognized or accepted. No elder, officer, employee, servant, agent or any person, corporation, organization or entity under the direction or control of this Church shall commit any act or omission, or make any decision whatever, that would be inconsistent with, or that could be perceived by any person to be inconsistent with, full support of this Church’s Marriage Policy and strict adherence to the Traditional Definition of Marriage rather than any alternative to the Traditional Definition of Marriage.
This Church’s Marriage Policy specifically prohibits acts or omission including but not limited to permitting any Church assets or property, whether real property, personal property, intangible property, or any property or asset of any kind that is subject to the direction or control of the
Church, to be used in any manner that would be or could be perceived by any person to be inconsistent with this Church’s Marriage Policy or the Traditional Definition of Marriage, including but not limited to permitting any church facilities to be used by any person, organization,
corporation, or group that would or might use such facilities to convey, intentionally or by implication, what might be perceived as a favorable impression about any definition of marriage other than the Traditional Definition or Marriage.
We believe this Church’s Marriage Policy is based upon God’s will for human life as conveyed to us through the Holy Scriptures, upon which this Church has been founded and anchored, and this Marriage Policy shall not be subject to change through popular vote; referendum; prevailing opinion of members of the general public; influence of or interpretation by any government authority, agency or official action; or legal development on the local, state or federal level.
