Statement of Faith

Lifestream Church believes in and presents the following basic truths:

  • The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God.

  • There is one God, eternally existent in three persons, God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinguishable but indivisible.

  • God created the universe and all that is in it including humankind.

  • Humankind fell in sin and is unable to rescue itself and obtain righteousness acceptable to God.

  • Jesus Christ was born of a virgin and was sinless.

  • Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary taking the sin of the world upon Himself. He was buried and rose again on the third day. He alone can redeem us from our sinful state and make us acceptable to God.

  • Jesus bodily ascended into heaven to the right hand of the Father and will come again to this earth with power and glory to rule.

  • Salvation is gained by faith through grace alone and not by human works.

  • The only means of being cleansed from sin is through turning from sin and putting faith in the precious blood of Christ.

  • Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.

  • A believer can be baptized in the Holy Spirit who was poured out at Pentecost. The Holy Spirit empowers believers with spiritual gifts and to live a holy life.

  • A believer is to be baptized in water by total immersion and this is done unto the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • People can be healed physically and psychologically by the power of God.

  • There exists a real Satan with a host of fallen angels or demons, but he is already defeated and will be finally confined under God's judgment forever.

  • There is a resurrection of both the saved and the lost with eternal life for believers and eternal judgment for unbelievers.

  • There is one true universal Church made up of genuine born again believers in Christ. This church is composed of many local churches that are to express His will on the earth.

  • The church functions under the leadership of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, elders and deacons.

  • Sharing in the Lord's Supper is an important community time for remembering the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus until His return.

  • The believer belongs to Christ and is a responsible steward. Giving regular tithes and offerings is a part of our worship to God.
