Tenets of Faith Our Vision What We Believe
The Word Training Center accepts the Scriptures as the revealed will of God, and adopts these statements of Fundamental Truths and Doctrine.

1. The Bible
Is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God
(2 Tim 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12).

2. There is one true Godhead
Comprised of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All are co-equal and co-eternal
(Mt. 28:19, 1Jn. 1:1, 14).

3. Man was created in God's image.
By voluntary transgression of Adam, he fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7, Rom. 5:12-21).

4. Salvation of man.
          (a) Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross,
         Jesus Christ became our poverty (2 Cor. 8:9), sin (1 Jn.2:2) and sickness (1 Peter 2:24)
         providing total salvation and healing for all mankind (Ps. 103:3). This salvation comes by
         believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing with your mouth,
         Jesus as Lord (Rom. 3:24, 10:8-10; Eph. 2:8).

(b) The inward evidence, to the believer, is the direct witness of the Spirit (Rom. 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of true holiness and love (1 Jn. 3:23, Jn. 13:35).

(c) Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however our works are evidence of our faith and will determine our rewards in eternity (Rom. 10:9-10, 14:10-12; 2 Cor. 5:10; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; James 2:18).

5. Baptism in water is a declaration to the world that a believer has died with Christ and that they have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Mt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Rom. 6:4).

6. The celebration of the Lord's Supper by eating of the bread and drinking of the cup is a remembrance of Jesus (1 Cor. 11:24-30).

7. All believers are entitled to, and should completely expect and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to the command of Jesus Christ. With this comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowal of gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry: This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Lk. 24:49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:38-39, 10:44-46, 11:14-16, 15:7-9; 1 Cor. 12:1-31).

8. The evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. The full consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service (Acts 1:8, 2:4, 10:44-46, 19:2,6).

9. The Church is the Body of Christ; of which each believer is an integral part
    (Eph. 1:22, 2:19-22; Heb. 12:23).

10. Total Prosperity.

(a) Spiritual (Jn. 3:3, 11; 2 Cor. 5:17-21;Rom. 10:9-10).
(b) Mental (2 Tim. 1:7, Rom. 12:2, Is. 26:3).
(c) Physical (Is. 53:4-5, Mt. 8:17).
(d) Financial (2 Cor. 8:9, 3 Jn. 2; Lk. 6:38; 2 Cor. 9:6-10; Phil. 4:19).
(e) Social (Pr. 3:4).

11. Blessed Hope: Jesus is coming to gather all His saints to Heaven (1 Cor. 15:51-52; 1 Thess. 4:16-17; 2 Thess. 2:1).

12. Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead. They will burn in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 19:20, 20:10-15).

13. The Millennial Reign of Jesus: The return of our Lord Jesus Christ with His saints from Heaven to rule and reign for one thousand years on earth as the Scripture promised (Rom. 11:25, 27; 2 Thess. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16, 20:1-7).  After this, there will be a new earth (Rev. 21).
