Statement of Faith
Bible
We believe the Bible, both the Old and New Testament is the infallible, inerrant and inspired Word of God.
It is the divine and complete revelation of God and it is the only rule for Christian faith and conduct.

God
We believe God is Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His character and attributes.
He is all powerful, present in all places at all times and knows all things fully and perfectly. God is the source of all knowledge and wisdom; therefore, it is impossible for him to learn or improve in any way.

Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man, having two distinct natures inseparably united in one divine person without confusion, mixture or division.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life among us. He was crucified and gave his life as a substitutionary sacrifice, the just for the unjust. He was buried and rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and was exalted to the right hand of God. He is the only Mediator between God and man and will come again in power, glory and judgment.

The Holy Spirit
We believe The Holy Spirit is of one substance with the Father and the Son.
He has been sent into the world to reveal and glorify Jesus Christ. He convicts, convinces and draw sinners to Christ. The Holy Spirit continually dwells in the hearts of believers, teaching, regenerating and operating fully in their sanctification.

The Trinity
We believe there is one true and living God who is infinitely perfect, eternally manifested and eternally existing in three Persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
These three persons are one eternal God, the same in substance and equal in power and glory.

Baptism and Gifts of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of the Gifts of the Spirit, that they are for today..
These gifts are distributed by the Holy Spirit as He wills, for the good of His Body.

Man
We believe that man was originally created in the image and likeness of God and that through disobedience man fell, incurring not only physical death but spiritual death..
As a result of this sin all men are lost and face the judgment of God. We believe Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that lost and sinful man can only be saved through Jesus’ atoning work on the Cross of Calvary. Repentance of one’s sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in salvation and re-generation by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, we believe God will reward the righteous with eternal life in Heaven and banish the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in Hell..

Human Sexuality
We believe God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage, that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to complete each other..
God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female..

The Church
Jesus Christ is Head of the church which is a universal visible church made of men and women of every nation and every race who have been redeemed by His blood and commissioned to spread the Gospel.
Local churches assemble to worship God, receive edification through Holy Scripture, participate in the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, proclaim the Gospel and encourage one another in prayer and fellowship.

Ordination
We believe that men and women who are chosen by God to a specific work should be recognized by appointment and ordination to that work.
Eschatology and End Times
We believe in the biblical prophecies concerning the personal imminent victorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and his millennial kingdom, the final judgment and the new Heaven and new earth.
Our Church’s Vision
"We believe God has placed Love Gospel Assembly in the heart of the Bronx with a vision and willingness to reach the lost, care for the poor, widows and orphans according to Luke 4:18"
