Our Foundational Beliefs
The following are the fundamental beliefs of Rock Springs Full Gospel Church based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows from these biblical truths.
The Word of God
We believe that the bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts. Written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
God the Father
We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal, spirit perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, and ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal visible return to earth.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide. We believe in the infilling (Baptism) of the Holy Spirit as recorded in the second chapter of the book of Acts. We believe the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to be evident by speaking in an unknown tongue as the Spirit gives utterance. We believe that His gifts are still in operation in today's church, and are purposed to give the believer power from on high.
The Trinity
We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons; that these are equal in every divine perfection; and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.
The New Birth
We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that because of man's inability to save himself, salvation is by God's grace alone; is received through sincere godly repentance, and a wholehearted acceptance of Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. Old things pass away, and all things become new.
The Church
We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all biblically regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible confession of faith and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that God had laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of giving the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.
Divine Healing
We believe that divine healing is the power of God to heal the sick and afflicted in answer to believing prayer, and is provided for in the atonement. We believe that God is willing to, and does heal the sick today.
The Cross
We believe that the Bible, in its entirety, points man to the Cross and what Jesus accomplished by His sacrificial death. We believe that when Jesus said, "It is finished." He provided everything necessary for salvation, holiness and a victorious life through Him and in Him, without having to add religious ceremonies, sacraments, rules and regulations, or other inventions of men.
The Last Things
We believe in the personal, visible and pre-millennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His earthly Kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal reward of the righteous, and the endless suffering and torment of the wicked.
