What We Believe
Here at Higher Praise Ministries, we believe the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. The following is a declaration of faith as its standard and official declaration of its doctrine.
In the verbal inspiration of the bible.
In one God eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the virgin Mary.
That Jesus was crucified buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to Heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the intercessor.
That all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for the forgiveness of sins.
That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ, through The Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
In the baptism of the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
In the Lord’s supper and washing of the Saints’ feet.
In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, the resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the Earth a thousand years.
In the bodily resurrection: eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.
