Statement of Faith:
​
1. We believe in the inspiration of Scripture, and that the Bible is authoritative. (Deuteronomy 4:2, John10:35, 2 Timothy 2:15, 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:19-21)
​
2. We recognize the one true God of the Bible as Father, Son, and Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Psalm 2:1-12, Psalm 110:1-7, Zechariah 12:10, Matthew 28:16-20, John 1:1-14, Acts 2:38, Colossians 2:9)
​
3. Healing and deliverance is available to God's people in the name of His Son, Jesus of Nazareth, by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 53:1-5, Isaiah 61:1-4, Luke 4:16-21, Acts 10:36-40)
​
4. The gifts of the Spirit are still in operation for believers today, and are a vital part of the body of Messiah. (Mark 16:15-18, John 14:12-14)
​
What We Believe:
1. The Bible is the inspired word of God and is 100% true and without error.
2. There is one God eternally existing in three persons: namely, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
3. Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus was crucified , buried and raised from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is at the right hand of the Father as our Intercessor.
4. All people have sinned and come short of what God requires. Repentance is required and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
5. Only the Blood of Jesus Christ is accepted as payment for sins.
6. Sanctification and learning to walk with God with the help of the Holy Spirit is experienced by faith on an ongoing basis.
7. Water Baptism as a testimony of the new birth and commitment to Christ.
8. Holy Communion, The Lord’s Supper.
9. The Second Coming of Christ.
10. The bodily resurrection of Christ, and the bodily resurrection of the dead.
11. Eternal life for the righteous and the eternal punishment for the wicked.
​
How We Conduct Ourselves:
1. ​Maintain a spiritual life and testimony consistent with qualifications necessary to supernaturally battle the forces of evil.
2. Attend church services regularly and be accountable to the spiritual covering of a pastor.
3. Avoid even the appearance of moral turpitude and refrain from any behavior that may cause another Christian to stumble or be weakened in their faith.
4. Agree to abide by the boundaries that maintain unity and integrity of the ministry team.
5. Committed to being teachable and accountable.
How We Do Ministry:
1. Maintain practices consistent with all Teams under the leadership of Dr. Bob Larson i.e. Do What Jesus Did and Spiritual Freedom Church.
2. Hold to the goal that total restoration of each person to spiritual wholeness is desired, not just expulsion of demonic forces.
3. The emotional integrity and human dignity of each person will be respected at all times.
4. All ministry will be held in strictest confidentiality.
5. Take the position of humility to serve those who ask for our help.
