“Doctrine is not just for theologians; it is the foundation for a life well-lived with God.”
We want you to know exactly what we believe. Below is the doctrinal foundation of God’s Threshing Place the core convictions we hold, the truths we preach, and the beliefs that shape everything we do. These are not new ideas; they are the same truths the church has held through every generation.
We believe the Bible – both Old and New Testaments is the Word of God, breathed out by Him, without error, and fully authoritative in everything it teaches. When the Bible speaks, God speaks. It is the final word on faith and how we live.
We believe in one God who is eternal, self-existent, and the Creator of all things. He has revealed Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit three persons, one God, in perfect unity and love.
We believe the Bible – both Old and New Testaments is the Word of God, breathed out by Him, without error, and fully authoritative in everything it teaches. When the Bible speaks, God speaks. It is the final word on faith and how we live.
We believe God created human beings good and in His image. Through Adam’s disobedience, sin entered the world and every person born since carries that broken nature and is separated from God. This is why we needed a Saviour.
We believe that anyone absolutely anyone who turns to God with genuine repentance and faith in Jesus Christ will be saved. Salvation is not earned or deserved. It is the free gift of God’s grace, received through faith alone.
We practice believer’s baptism by immersion as a public declaration of new life in Christ, and we celebrate Holy Communion together as a memorial of Jesus’ death and a declaration of His coming return.
We believe every follower of Jesus is entitled to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, a distinct, empowering experience that equips believers for life and ministry. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are active and available today.
We believe that followers of Jesus are called to live differently, not perfectly, but progressively more like Him. Sanctification is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in us, separating us from sin and drawing us closer to God.
We believe divine healing is real, available, and part of the gospel. The same Jesus who healed the sick is alive today and healing of body, mind, and spirit is the inheritance of every believer.
We believe in the imminent, physical return of Jesus Christ. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the rapture of the saints, and the millennial reign of Christ. This is our blessed hope and it shapes how we live today.
We believe in a final judgment where every person will stand before God. Those who have received Christ will spend eternity with Him in the new heavens and new earth. God made a way, and His name is Jesus.
If you have questions about what we believe or if anything here resonates with you and you’d like to talk, please reach out. We would love to have that conversation with you.
