WHAT WE BELIEVE

OUR CORE BELIEFS

Ignite My City Church is rooted in biblical truth and the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith. These beliefs are the foundation of our teaching, ministry, and mission to reach the lost and equip believers.

01 The Bible 2 Timothy 3:16-17

We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God and that it is supreme and the final authority.

02 The Trinity 1 John 5:7

We believe in the trinity as eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

03 Deity of Jesus Christ 1 Timothy 3:16

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.

04 Evangelism Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-18

We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor.

05 Salvation Hebrews 9:22

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God.

06 Sanctification Ephesians 5:25-27

We believe in sanctification and holiness and the overcoming life in God’s design for the church, which is the Bride of Christ.

07 Sexual Purity Romans 1:26-27

We believe that sexual purity is a necessary expression for all of God’s children and requires abstinence from adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality, or other sexual relationships or practices forbidden by Scripture.

08 Marriage Matthew 19:4-6

We believe marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime and a sacred institution established by God.

09 Baptism Acts 10:47-48

We believe Baptism is an outward expression of an inward acceptance of Jesus.

10 Baptism by Immersion Romans 6:4

We believe that Baptism is for believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and to be administered by immersion, thus bearing witness to the gospel of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection for us, and our new life in Him.

11 Baptism in the Holy Spirit Acts 2:4

We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in charismatic gifts and ministries, and in the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.

12 Divine Healing 1 Peter 2:24

We believe that divine healing is obtained on the basis of the atonement.

13 The Rapture 1 Thessalonians 5:9

We believe that the resurrection of the church (rapture) will occur prior to the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
