What you believe is essential to your walk with God. Teaching sound Doctrine is one of our core focuses.
We encourage every believer to grow deeper in their faith. As a ministry, we gather on several occasions to learn and grow in the word corporately. We also provide home bible studies where you can have a private lesson and ask any questions you have about faith and the bible.
What We Believe
Revival City SA is a Bible-based church. That means we seek to believe and practice what is explicitly taught in the Bible. Based on the Bible, we believe the following:
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (See II Timothy 3:15-17.)
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as Father; through His Son, in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit, by emanation. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (See Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.)
(Deut 6.4; John 14.9; Eph 4.4-6; Col 2.9; 1 Tim 3.16).
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and in obedience to the Word of God. (See Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.)
Repentance is to feel sorrow about one’s actions. Its stronger meaning is to change ones mind and resolve not to continue in the wrong doing. Repentance affects the individual both emotionally and intellectually.
Water baptism by immersion, in the name of Jesus Christ, is necessary for the remission of sins, and signifies one’s desire to bury the old life, as Christ was buried in the tomb. Through water baptism we “put on” Christ. (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:4; II Cor. 5:17)
Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit giveth the utterance is an essential part to the believer’s salvation. The indwelling of the Holy Ghost is who guides, teaches, and instructs the believer in their walk with God.
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection). (See I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.)
As Christians, we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (See Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10.) (Deut 6.4; John 14.9; Eph 4.4-6; Col 2.9; 1 Tim 3.16).
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away his church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death (1 Thes 4.16-17; Rev 20.11-15).
Other doctrinal beliefs include: Atonement, Prayer, Fasting, Tithing, and Offerings. Miracles, Holiness, Modesty
