What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of Kulm Assembly of God based on the foundational truths taught in the bible.  All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

The Scriptures of the entire Bible are verbally inspired of God. It was not just the ideas that were inspired; even the choice of words was inspired as the original writers were moved by God to write what He wanted them to say. We therefore believe that the Scriptures are God's revelation of himself to mankind, they are never wrong, and they are the divinely authoritative guide of our faith, belief, and manner of living.
 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13;
2 Peter 1:21

There is one true God. He has revealed himself as having always existed without any outside cause or agent bringing Him into being. He is the creator of heaven and earth and the One who redeems, saves or rescues mankind form sin and its painful consequences. God has further revealed himself as a sing Being consisting of three interrelated person: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This concept of one God or Being of three persons is called the Trinity.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22

The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has always existed. He too is without beginning or end. In order to complete His earthly sacrificial mission, He became human by being born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit. He lived a perfect life, absolutely without sin. While on earth He worked many miracles through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. In order to restore fallen mankind, He did on the cross as a substitute for the sins of every person. He was raised from the dead by the supernatural power of God. Since His resurrection he has been honored, and is seated at the right hand of God.
Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31; Luke 1:35; Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22; Acts 2:22; Acts 10:38; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:4; Acts 1:9; Acts 1:11; Acts 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3
 

Salvation is deliverance from spiritual death and enslavement by sin. God provides salvation for all who believe and accept His free offer of forgiveness. Mankind's only hope of redemption from the fallen sinful state is through the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son - blood that  was shed as Jesus died on the cross.
Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15;
Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11; Titus 3:5-7

The baptism in the Holy Spirit was the normal experience of all believers in the early Christian church. With the experience comes the provision of power for victorious Christian living and productive service. It also provides believers with specific spiritual gifts for more effective ministry. The baptism in the the Holy Spirit is separate from salvation, and follows the new birth experience. With this baptism come such experiences as an overflowing fullness of the Spirit, a deepened reverence for God, and intensified commitment to God and dedication to His work, and a more active love for Christ, for His Word, and for those who have not yet become believers. All believers are entitled to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and therefore should expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. The baptism of Christians in the Holy spirit is accompanied by the first sign of speaking in an unlearned language or tongues as the Spirit of God enables them.
Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; Acts 8:12-17; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 11:14-16;
Acts 15:7-9; John 7:37-39; Acts 4:8; Acts 2:43; Hebrews 12:28; Acts 2:42; Acts 2:4

Divine healing from God is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided in the Christ's suffering ad death for our reconciliation with God. Healing is a privilege of all believers.
Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16,17; James 5:14-16
 

The scriptural truth of the Lord's soon return is "the blessed hope." All Christians who have died will one day rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air. Christians who have not yet died will be raptured or caught up with them, to be with the lord. Then Christians of all ages will live with God forever.
1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13;
1 Corinthians 15:51,52
