A SHORT MESSAGE FROM
PASTOR RICH SUMMERLIN
WHAT'S NEXT?
The word here means full immersion or completely wet, to dunk. We believe that baptism in water is an act of obedience and the way of identifying with the new life in Christ, as Christ was dead, buried and rose again.
Romans 6: 3-5
“Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection.”
We believe the Bible also teaches us that we not only need to be baptized in water, but also in the Holy Ghost. We believe that He is come to indwell, sanctify, instruct and comfort the believer. Being baptised in the Holy Spirit is essential to living the standard of life God commands and promised us.
(John 15:26) (Acts 1:4-5) (Acts 8:18, 19) (Acts 10:44) (Acts 19:1-3, 6)(Acts 2:1-4)
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and onesat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Attending church when the doors are open is essential to living a as a Christian.
Ephesians 4:11-16 explains this:
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the [e]edifying of the body of Christ,
13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—
16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
God has called everyone to serve in His great house: the church. It is important for you to now get involved in the Ministry of Helps!
Acts 6:3&4
3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;
4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
1 Corinthians 12:28
28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.
Ephesians 4:12
12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ
