Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the Apostles. 44). All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45). Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46). every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.

Our Beliefs 

We believe in the 5-fold ministry as recorded in Ephesians 4:11-12 “11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.

Spiritual Gifts of God – 1st Corinthians 12

There are nine (9) Spiritual Gifts inside of you.  There are three (3) operations of these gifts.

  1. Gifts that say something – (Divers Kinds of Tongues, Interpretation of Tongues, Prophecy)
  2. Gifts that do something – Power Gifts – (Miracles, Healing, Special Faith)
  3. Gifts that reveal something – (Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Discerning of Spirits)

Definition of the gifts:

  1. Divers of Tongues – Supernatural showing forth by the Spirit to allow you to speak in a language unknown to man which produces Prophecy.
  2. Interpretation of Tongues – Supernatural showing forth by the Spirit to understand Divers Tongues.
  3. Prophecy – Supernatural ability to speak the mind of God.
  4. Miracles – Supernatural intervention by God to do something impossible.
  5. Healing – Supernatural healing. (Deliverance of the sick through instantaneous prayer)
  6. Faith – Supernatural trust in God to deliver something unbelievable.
  7. Word of Wisdom – Revelation by the Holy Spirit of the wisdom and will of God.
  8. Word of Knowledge – Supernatural ability to know something given by God.
  9. Discerning of Spirits – Insight into the Spirit Realm; to know the difference between good and evil.

We believe in the 9 spiritual gifts in 1st Corinthians 12: 1-12, which states.

“Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. 12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ”.

And I Corinthians 12:28 which states: 28 “And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues”.

And Romans 12: 6-8 which states, 6 “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully”.

God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth and the head of the church. He exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These 3 are equal and co-exist as one.

Genesis 1:1; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Colossians 1:15-18

Jesus Christ came to the earth through a virgin birth, He lived a sinless human life, and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; Romans 1:3, 4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14, 15; Titus 2:13

Holy Spirit is part of the holy trinity as one Being. He convicts the world of sin, righteous and judgement. He comforts, sustains, empowers and guides men into all truth. He is present in the earth to make us aware of our need and dependency for Jesus Christ. He provides the Christian with power for living and we seek to live under this power in our daily walk.

2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:1

Salvation Is a free gift from God to man. It is nothing we can do to earn it. We cannot work for it, our good works cannot attain it. It is only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sins penalty. It is a confession that we ask Christ into our hearts to rule and reign in and through us by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 10:9-10 states:” If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” 

Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1

Bible is His breathed word for all mankind to follow as a roadmap for guiding us in the earth. We are in the world but not of this world. Salvation has been made available to all mankind through Jesus Christ, and Christ being the head of the Church and the Savior of the world. It is because of His life, death on the cross and resurrection from the dead that we to shall live again. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.

2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5; Hebrews 4:12

Baptism We believe it is the symbolic death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior public baptism declares our new life in Christ as well as a step of obedience following the example of Jesus being submerged in water Baptism by John the Baptist.

Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:41, Colossians 2:12, 1Peter 3:21, Luke 3: 21-22 

Communion (Lord’s Supper) We believe it’s an ordinance for all believers given as a remembrance of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for us. The wine (juice) and bread represent Christ’s broken body and the shedding of his blood. It symbolizes the New Covenant and our testament of faith. 

It was vital in the Acts church that the new believers met together and broke bread with each other regularly. It is vital that we to will practice this remembrance of Jesus as often as we can when we meet together.

Matthew 26: 26-28-, Luke 22:19-20, I Corinthians 11:23-33

Tithes Everything we have belongs to God He has asked only 10% out of the 100% He allows us to have. 90% He says we can keep, but a tenth belongs to Him. We will honor the word of the Lord but we will not beg anyone or make anyone feel uncomfortable if they don’t have it to give. God loves a cheerful giver therefore we believe if we focus on the preaching and teaching of His word then the tithing will be a normal act of servanthood back to the Lord. We will use those tithes and offerings for the betterment of the church and its congregation. But the intent is also to give back to those in need within our communities and to global ministries as God shall present to us.

Matt 6:21, Proverbs 3:9-10 Malachi 3:8-12

The Acts 2 Life Transformation church purpose is to praise God, seek out the lost, and feed the flock to accomplish God’s work here on earth. But in more specifics its purpose is to be a beacon of God’s light to the communities in which we serve and around the world. We will plant churches with the same beliefs and purposes in order that we will be a part of the Great Commission written in

Matthew 28:19. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

We are a church called by God, A people called by God, united by love, sent to serve and seek the lost for lasting life transformation through Jesus Christ. 

Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
