Beliefs & Core Values
The core beliefs of New Life Tabernacle Belle Glade are based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of biblical doctrines.
God
There is one God: the creator of the heavens, the earth, and all mankind. This one God is Father in creation, Son in redemption, and Holy Ghost in regeneration and activity. He is the first and the last; there is no God beside him (Genesis 1:1, John 1:1; 14, Isaiah 44:6-8, Isaiah 9:6, 1 Timothy 3:16).
The Bible
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
Salvation
Salvation consists of deliverance from sin through the blood of Jesus Christ. This is accomplished through repentance from sin, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. This experience is called the New Birth (John 3:5, Acts 2:38).
Prayer
Prayer is the avenue of communication in which man forms a relationship with God. This is achieved when connecting with God is a priority, resulting in spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical change (1Timothy 2:1-3, Isaiah 56:7).
Discipleship
Discipleship reflects Christ’s character. Systematic instruction, mentorship, training, and development is at the core of producing people who align themselves to love God and love others. This love causes individuals to come back to Christ, live a life that is pleasing to Him, and fulfill the mandate to continue Christ’s mission to seek and save the lost (Galatians 5:22-26, 2 Corinthians 5:17).
Community Engagement
Serving God translates to being servants of our community. Meeting the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical needs of others will result in stronger and healthier communities (Matthew 25:36, Luke 14:12-14).
ACTS 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
