"The Word Works for Those Who Work the Word"
Statements of Faith
The following are the core beliefs of Harvest Time Bible Church based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
We Believe
that the Bible is the infallible, inerrant Word of God.
We Believe
in the Divine Trinity, that God is one, but is manifested in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) being co-equal and co-eternal.
We Believe
in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We Believe
in the Person of the Holy Spirit.
We Believe
that salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the law is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God.
We Believe
in water baptism by immersion as a direct commandment of the Lord and that this ordinance is for believers only as a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
We Believe
that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift from God, as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the New Birth.
We Believe
that this experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance.
We Believe
that healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith and the laying on of hands.
We Believe
that healing is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of every member in the church today.
We Believe
marriage is a covenant ordained by God, entered into by a man and a woman as an act of their fare will.
We Believe
that the communion elements, the bread represents the body of Jesus Christ that was bruised for our physical healing and the wine represents the shed blood of Jesus Christ through which we have received forgiveness of sin and has entered into a new covenant relationship with God.
We Believe
that receiving the communion elements is an ordinance Jesus instructed the church to continue doing until his return.
We Believe
that the Lord Jesus Christ shall return for the church and that His coming is imminent.
We Believe
that following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of kings and Lord of lords and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests. He shall reign a thousand years.
We Believe
that those who physically die in their sins without accepting Christ are hopelessly and eternally lost in the lake of fire and, therefore, have no further opportunity of hearing the gospel or repenting.
We Believe
that the lake of fire is literal. The terms “eternal” and “everlasting,” used in describing the duration of the punishment of the damned in the lake of fire, carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of saints in the presence of God.
