| The Beliefs of Harvest Oaks |
We believe - that the original letters which we have today that is
translated into the Bible are perfect, and truly inspired by God
Himself and is our "all sufficient" rule of faith and practice.
We believe - in the trinity of God. God the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. All three wholly individual as well as wholly equal.
We believe - Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, was all
God and all man, and that he died on the cross for our sins. We
also believe that He was buried and on the third day arose to sit at
the right hand of the Father to intercede on our behalf.
We believe - the Holy Spirit is the divine Administrator for Jesus.
He draws the unbeliever to God, after their faith changes their
nature and comes to live within them, secures them eternally,
convicts them during their lifetime on earth, and guides those that
listen to His voice. He also gives each believer certain gifts to be
carried out for the edification or building up of the local church.
We believe - that the local church is a visible assembly made up of
baptized believers in a covenant relationship to carry out the
Great Commission of Jesus Christ. Each church is independent
and self-governing and there are two pictorial ordinances for each
of His local churches. They are Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
We believe - that Satan is a fallen angel, the archenemy of God
and man, the unholy god of this world, and that his destiny is the
eternal lake of fire.
We believe - all mankind is born into this world with a sin nature,
because Adam and Eve fell voluntarily from their perfect state
when they chose to disobey God, which is sin.
We believe - mankind can only go to Heaven by God's grace
alone, through our faith alone. Faith that is in Jesus, by first
recognizing we are sinners, we need a savior, Jesus is the ONLY
way, and that we must believe and confess Him by faith.

most and how that defines the local church that we are today.
