Statement of Faith

I. THE SCRIPTURES:

The inspired, inerrant Word of God revealed to men by the Holy Spirit.

(2 Tim. 3:15 – 17; I Peter 1:23, 25; Heb. 4:12)

II. THE ONE TRUE GOD:

The triune being existing as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

(Deut. 6:4; Isa. 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19)

III. MAN:

A created triune being – spirit, soul, and body. Created in the image and likeness of God. Man voluntarily transgressed and fell causing sin to enter into the earth. Redemption for man is in Jesus Christ.

(Gen. 1:26-31; Gen. 3:17; Romans 5:12-21)

IV. THE SALVATION OF MAN:

God’s grace is available to all through faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation is a free gift from God to man. It is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Man’s first step towards salvation is Godly sorrow which worketh repentance. The Bible teaches that with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Eph. 2:8; 2 Cor. 7:10; Romans 10:9-10)

V. WATER BAPTISM:

An ordinance of the church which symbolizes a declaration of the believer’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. This is evidenced by submersion of the believer in water.

(Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48, Rom. 6:4)

VI. THE LORD’S SUPPER:

An ordinance of the church consisting of elements symbolizing the broken body and the shed blood of Jesus. The blood represents the new covenant between God and man that provides us forgiveness of sins and a relationship with God.

(Luke 22:19-20; I Cor. 11: 24-26)

VII. INFILLING OF THE HOLY GHOST:

Holiness, the will of God for all believers, comes from the infilling of the Holy Ghost. The infilling of the Holy Ghost is a gift promised by God and it is evidenced by speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance; with it comes an infilling of power so that the believer can be an effective witness for the Lord Jesus Christ. This power is also necessary for the believer to be functional in the spiritual gifts for the edifying of the Body and for work in the ministry.

(Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; I Cor. 12:1-31; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 2:38-39; Acts 19:1-7)

VIII. LAYING ON OF HANDS:

In the Bible this was displayed on different occasions for different purposes. It was practiced by the Levitical Priesthood and also by Jesus and the disciples. We believe that the laying on of hands should be used in the following areas of ministry: Laying on of hands for the dedication of babies; Laying on of hands for healing; Laying on of hands to confer an office; Laying on of hands to receive the Holy Ghost; Laying on of hands for ordination; Laying on of hands for the consecration of gifts and to receive the necessary ministry tools.
(Mark 10:12-16; Mark 5:22-23, 41; Mark 5:28-31; Acts 28:8-9; Acts 19:11-12; Acts 6:2-6; Acts 8:16-18; 1Tim. 4:14)

IX. SANCTIFICATION:

The carrying on to perfection the work which began in regeneration and extends to the whole man. It is the progressive work of grace and the special office of the Holy Spirit in the plan of redemption to carry on this work.

(Rom. 6:13; 1 Cor. 6:11; Heb. 2:14; Phil. 3:12-14)

X. THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL:

The Body of Christ which is the habitation of the Holy Spirit. Each believer is a member of the general assembly and church of the firstborn which is written in heaven.

(Eph. 1:22; Eph. 2:19-22; Heb. 12:23)

XI. THE LOCAL CHURCH:

A body of believers systematically assembled together by the orchestration of the Holy Spirit with a common vision.

XII. WOMEN IN MINISTRY:

Women are an integral part of the Body of Christ with gifts according to the measure of grace given to them.

(Acts 18:24-26; 21:8-9; Gal. 3:28; Romans 12:4-6)

XIII. TOTAL PROSPERITY:

Prosperity is in line with the teachings of the Bible. It is God’s desire that we prosper in every area of our lives.

Spiritually – John 3:3;
Mentally – 2 Tim. 1:7; Romans 12:2;
Physically – Matt. 8:17; I Peter 2:24;
Financially – III John 2

XIV. MINISTRY:

Divinely called and scripturally ordained by God for a two-fold purpose:

(1) for the edifying of the Body of Christ, (2) for the equipping of the saints.

(Eph. 4:11-13)

XV. RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST:

The physical (bodily) resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated His power over sin, death, and the grave. His resurrection made the believer’s salvation complete. Jesus Christ’s resurrection power has now been made available to the believer through the infilling of the Holy Ghost.

(1 Cor. 15:3-8, 12-19, 51-58; Rom. 6:3-11)

XVI. THE TRANSLATION OF THE CHURCH:

The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the Lord and await the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ. “The dead in Christ shall rise first; then we, which are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:”

(Acts 1:11; Titus 2:13; I Thess. 4:16)

XVII. THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF JESUS:

Following the tribulation period, Jesus will return to the earth as the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Together, with His saints, He shall reign a thousand years.

(Rev. 19:11-16; 20:1-7)

XVIII. THE LAKE OF FIRE:

It is a literal place that is designated for the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophets, and whosoever is not found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Anyone who physically dies in sin without accepting Christ is hopelessly damned to the lake of fire eternally and therefore has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or for repentance.

(Rev. 19:20; 20:10-15; Hebrews 9:27)

XIX. ETERNITY:

The Bible teaches of a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells without room for sin and death, for the former things are passed away.

(2 Peter 3:13; Rev. 21:1-7)

An Invitation

What Must I Do to be Saved?

The Bible, God’s Word, provides a clear answer to this question. Here are the simple steps from the Bible that everyone must take to be saved.

Acknowledge Your Sin

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

First, see yourself for what you are…a sinner (separated from God at birth– because of the sin of the first man, Adam). Sin is devastating and evil; it corrupts and destroys lives. It has devastating eternal consequences: “…the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:4) “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

Believe in Jesus Christ

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Believe in the completed work that Christ accomplished on the cross. You must believe that Christ substituted Himself for you, that He died for your sins (though He never sinned), and that He was raised from the dead for your new life. “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

Confess Jesus Christ as your Lord

If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 NIV

You must believe in Christ and receive Him personally into your life by faith if you are to be saved from the power and consequences of sin. Pray this prayer to the Lord:

“Lord Jesus, I am convinced that I am a sinner and that you alone can save me. I willingly repent of my sinful life and believe that you died for me. I believe that You were raised from the dead; I confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. I accept you as my personal Savior. I receive Your gift of salvation by faith in my heart. I thank You that I have forgiveness of my sins, and that I have eternal life in Jesus. Amen”

If you have just prayed this prayer, please give us a call at 786-758-8741 or email boccmmia@gmail.com. We want to share with you in your joy, and help you get started on your new life.

OUR LOGO

The seven elements of the logo represent the following:

THE WORLD: The ministry is committed to reach beyond its physical and geographical boundaries to spread the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the world.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

THE CROSS: Represents the price paid by the Lamb to reconcile mankind unto the Father.

Heb. 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

THE RINGS: Represent the marriage of the church to the Bridegroom, Jesus, who will present her without spot or wrinkle and holy without blemish.

Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the lamb is come, and his wife (bride) hath made herself ready.

THE DOVE: Represents the Holy Spirit who directs, organizes, enables, and empowers the church to be a witness for Jesus.

John 14:26 But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

THE BIBLE: Sound biblical principles will serve as the foundation for the teachings that will prepare the members to excel spiritually, mentally, physically and financially.

II Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

BRIDE OF CHRIST (red): Represents the blood that was shed on Calvary for the church.

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

MINISTRY OF PREPARATION: All teachings are geared toward the ultimate goal, which is to prepare the members for the coming of the Bridegroom — Jesus.

Luke 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
