Statement of Faith

Be One Together in ministry is based upon the Word of God and our personal walk by faith in Jesus Christ.

We believe the Bible to be verbally inspired, inerrant in the original writings, and the only infallible and authoritative Word of God for faith and life.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in

the full deity and full humanity of Christ
in His virgin birth
in His sinless life
in His miracles
in His substitutionary and atoning death through His shed blood
in His bodily resurrection
in His ascension to the right Hand of the Father
in His present rule as Head of the Church
in His personal return in power and glory
We believe man was originally created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was alienated from his Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.

We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation and forgiveness of all who are separated from God by sin and rebellion.

We believe salvation is wholly of God by grace on the basis of redemption of Jesus Christ, by the merit of His shed blood, and not on the basis of human merit or works.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life, and by whom the Church, the Body of Christ, is gifted and equipped to serve and glorify God.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are lost unto damnation and them that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across races, genders and classes.

We believe Christ has commanded His Church to preach the gospel and make disciples of all people.

Be One Together operates on a strongly held belief that the marriage relationship has been established by God as a union between one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31). Be One Together further holds that, in accordance with Scripture, sexual intimacy and sexual activity is appropriate only within the marriage relationship, between one husband and one wife. (I Corinthians 7:2; Hebrews 13:4). Be One Together believes God has created two distinct and complementary genders, male and female, and each person is created in accordance with God’s perfect design (Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4). Accordingly, Be One Together views the following behaviors as inappropriate and contrary to Scripture: 1) Any sexual intimacy or sexual act between individuals who are not married to one another. 2) Any marriage or civil union that is not between one man and one woman. 3) Any attempt to adopt or present as a different gender than that assigned at birth. 4) Any other activity, teaching, or behavior that is contrary to a biblical view of marriage, gender, and/or appropriate behavior as outlined in this provision. All members of Be One Together and all individuals involved in Be One Together operations, activities, and events are expected to uphold the ministry’s perspective on marriage, gender, sexual intimacy, and appropriate behavior as set forth in this provision. Individuals and organizations who desire to use Be One Together facilities must also act in accordance with this provision. 

We believe the church is the bride of Christ for whom Christ will return.
