WHAT WE BELIEVE
New Testament Kingdom Outreach, Inc. exists to preach the Kingdom of God to the lost, sick and suffering people throughout the world. The
various aspects of the ministry include, but are not limited to, local churches, mission programs, and evangelistic ministries.
The Bible is the inspired and only infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality and the proper conduct of mankind, and is the sole
and final source of all that we believe.
> We believe there is one God who is the creator of all things.
> We believe the Bible is the infallible God-breathed Word of God correct in all areas including: matters of faith and revelation, history and science.
> We believe God created man for fellowship and that man’s sin
separated him from God.
> We believe in a literal eternal heaven as the reward of the saved and a literal eternal hell as punishment for the damned.
> We believe that the penalty for sin is eternal separation from God and that man has no way to redeem himself.
> We believe God sent His son Jesus to die a substitutionary death on the Cross of Calvary to pay the penalty for sin and to provide the way to redemption for all who will receive the free gift of
God.
> We believe that receiving Jesus as savior is the only way to receive pardon from sin, and receive eternal life.
> We believe in water baptism as an act of obedience to God’s Word.
> We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost for all believers just as it was given and received by the followers of the Lord in Acts Chapter 2.
> We believe the Holy Ghost was to them and to all them that are afar off even as many as the Lord shall call. We also believe in the
accompanying gifts and Fruit of the Spirit.
> We believe in the catching away of the Church and the second coming of Jesus to this earth. We believe in the great commission and support efforts to evangelize all peoples.
