Our Statement of Faith

WE BELIEVE the Holy Bible to be the complete, inerrant, authoritative Word of God.

WE BELIEVE there is only one God, eternally existent in 3 persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE that because God had established that only the shedding of blood provides remission of sin, He sent His son, Jesus Christ, into the world to take man's sin upon Himself. Jesus was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man, the only sinless man who ever lived. As the lamb of God, He took man's sin upon Himself as He died on the cross, thus satisfying God's holy demands for all mankind. He was buried, and was resurrected on the third day following His crucifixion. After appearing to various people during a period of forty days, He ascended into heaven and is the only mediator between God and man. All who personally receive Him, through faith, are declared righteous on the basis of His shed blood and not of their works of righteousness.

WE BELIEVE that when a person confesses the fact that he is a sinner and acknowledges Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, his spirit is reborn. He becomes a new creation, a member of the true Church, indwelt by the Holy Spirit. This salvation is not the result of any human effort, but is the free gift of God's grace in Jesus Christ and faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to receive this salvation. Jesus Christ will physically return to the earth one day as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

WE BELIEVE God sent His Holy Spirit with gifts to the Church to empower believers for witnessing of Jesus, as well as to be comforter and teacher, until Jesus comes again. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Holy Spirit witnesses not unto Himself, but to the risen Christ. He regenerates, seals, anoints and sets apart the believer to a holy life.

What People Are Saying.........

“Bleedership uses Biblical examples to demonstrate that God has a plan for us, even at work in the secular world, and that His plan can be accomplished best when we have a respectful regard for one another. It deftly shows the wisdom of being obedient to the Biblical commands: 'Love your neighbor as yourself' and 'Love your enemies'. This book might be the best of the bunch as far as the newest submissions to PK are concerned - I highly recommend it!"
