New Life Outreach Center - Rodney & Dianna McManus

Everybody believes in something.
We base our beliefs on the truths found in the Bible.
The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
(II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:21)
God is the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ; He is the one and only true God – All knowing, all powerful, always present – complete in Himself. He has always existed and is ever active in the universe, involved in the lives of all men.
(Psalm 90:2, Isaiah 43:10, Colossians 1:2, Philippians 2:13)
Jesus is the only begotten Son of God – truly man, born of a virgin, died on the cross for the sins of mankind, raised from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the father.
(Matthew 1:23, John 1:14, 3:16, I Corinthians 15:3-4, Hebrews 7:26)
The Holy Spirit is the divine third person of the Trinity, God as spirit. We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in other tongues, as the Spirit gives the utterance, to be the initial evidence of this experience. We believe in the operation of the nine Gifts of the Spirit and encourage our people to live so that these gifts may be manifest in their lives. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6; I Corinthians 12:4-11) (Matthew 28:19, John 14:16, Acts 13:1-2, Romans 8:14-16, 26-28)
The Trinity is God revealing himself in three divine persons, each distinct in office from the others, yet perfectly one, constituting one God and not three Gods.
(Matthew 28:19, Luke 3:22, John 14:9, 17:3)
Salvation has been provided through the shed blood of Jesus and is obtained by grace, not by works. (Luke 8:6, Isaiah 53:1-10, I Thessalonians 5:23)
Divine Healing was provided for the believer through Christ’s work on the cross. It is God’s will for us to be healed in spirit, body, and soul.
(Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:17, Acts 10-38)
Water Baptism is for all believers and is by immersion. It symbolizes being buried with Christ into death of self, and that as Christ was raised from the dead, we too are raised to walk in newness of life.
(Mark 16:16, Matthew 28:18, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:4-5, Colossians 2:12)
Worship: We believe in freedom of worship with every form of expression being done in decency and in order, not drawing attention to oneself. We define order in our services as following the anointing of the Holy Spirit through the pastoral leadership on the stage.
(1 Corinthians 14:33, 40)
The Church is a local community of baptized believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ, obeying all of His commands, and seeking to bring the gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ. (Matthew 16:18-19; 18:15-20; Acts 2:41-47; 5:11-14; 13:1-3; 14:23; 16:5; 20:28; 1 Corinthians 7:17; 9:13-14; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:10-12; 5:22-32; Colossians 1:18; 3:15; 1 Timothy 4:14; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Revelation 21:2-3)
Christ’s Second Coming includes the Rapture of the church, followed, at the conclusion of the tribulation, by the return of Christ with his Saints. We believe in a pre-tribulation Rapture (Luke 21:36, John 14:2-3, I Thessalonians 4:13-17, Revelation 3:10) We believe in a literal 7 year Tribulation (Matthew 24:15, 21:29, Daniel 11:31, Revelation 7:14) We believe that the Final Judgment is the last judgment for the wicked dead with everlasting punishment in the lake of fire, which is the second death. (Matthew 25:46, Mark 9:43-48, Revelation 3:10, 20:11-15, 21:18)
