Hill Thread’s ministry holds these truths and many others to be precious and dear. Our purpose, however, is not for endless doctrinal disputes, but to be a place of ministry and healing for those in need. Christians have always had diversity in their theology and will continue to do so until the great return of the Master teacher himself, Jesus. Let us Love God and Love others. -Matthew 22:36-40
- Three dimensions of One God. We believe in one God who is eternal in His existence, Triune in His manifestation, being both Father, Son and Holy Spirit AND that He is Sovereign and Absolute in His authority. (1 John 5:7; Matthew 28:19; 1 Timothy 3:16; Colossians 1:15)
- We believe in the Father who is God Himself, Creator of the universe. (Genesis 1:1)
- We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, born of a virgin. (Colossians 2:9; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:27-37)
- He suffered, died, was buried, and rose from the dead for our total salvation (Luke 3:21-22; Philippians 2:5-11).
- We believe that Jesus is the only way to eternal life in Heaven with God. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 3:36; John 3:31-32; John 14:6).
- We believe in the Holy Spirit who is God indwelling, empowering and regenerating the believer. This Holy Spirit is called the Comforter. The Spirit of Truth (John 14:17 & 14:26)
- We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ atones for our sins and iniquity. It is through His shed blood that we are saved, healed and set free from bondage and the forces of darkness (Romans 5:9-11; Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 12:11).
- We believe that every believer must have a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, for apart from Him we can do nothing. Each person has a ministry from God that no one else can fill. We are to instruct, teach, exhort, and admonish believers in the ways of God (John 15:1-5; Hebrews 13:5-6).
- We believe that the Bible is the true infallible Word of God, which cleanses our souls. It holds the words of eternal life and the keys of the Kingdom of God. The Bible shows us God’s principles and standards for living; and it is the food that sustains us in all circumstances (John 1:14; 2 Timothy 3: 16-17; 1 John 2:5-6).
- We believe that we are to wash and renew our minds daily by the Word of God. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9)
- We must learn His ways and exchange our way of thinking for His. We are to be conformed to the Kingdom of God by the molding and shaping of His Hands (Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:23-29; Philippians 4:8).
- We believe in justification by faith. We believe that salvation is free and apart from any work of man is a result of the sovereign grace of God. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 5:5, Romans5:1)
- We believe in worshipping the Lord in spirit, song, dance and with the raising of our hands. We believe that we are to praise and worship Him with our whole being (Psalms 150:1-6; John 4:24).
- We believe that in Godly living and the pursuit of a holy life should be the goal of every believer. (Hebrews 12:14, Philippians 3:14)
- We believe that believers should be water baptized by immersion for the circumcision of our hearts. It is through baptism that we publicly identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:3-6; Colossians 2:11-14; Acts 2:38).
