Sure Foundation Community Fellowship Church is based on the Bible alone. We believe that the Bible is God’s “word” (communication to us) written by men but directed and inspired by God through the Holy Spirit (also called the Holy Ghost). It contains no errors and is the complete, final, and only authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (See 2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; and 2 Peter 1:20, 21.)
We believe that God the Father is perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power. God showed His love for all people by sending His Son to die for our sins so that we might have eternal life with God in heaven. (Luke 18:27; John 3:16, 17; Romans 11:33; 1 Peter 1:16; 1 John 4:7-10; Revelation 4:8.)
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, God Himself, and that He became completely man. Conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus lived a sinless life and chose to die as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people. He was bodily resurrected from the dead and appeared to many people. He now sits at the “right hand of God” (the highest place of honor and power), interceding (standing in to provide protection) for the sins of His people (those who accepted him as Savior and Lord). He will come in glory to righteously judge all people based on their acceptance or rejection of Him. Jesus is the only way to bridge the gap of sin between God and people. Thus, He is the only way to have a relationship with God now and eternal life with God in heaven. (Matthew 16:16, 17 and 25:31-46; Mark 14:61, 62; Luke 1:34, 35 and 2:7; John 1:1 and 1:14 and 5:22-30 and 10:30 and 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22-24.)
We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. He is fully received when someone gets right with God through Jesus, so all true Christians “have the Holy Spirit.” He is the power that Christians have that enables them to live Christ-like lives (as God leads them). The Holy Spirit is our pledge (or “down payment”) of eternal life. (John 16:8-11; Acts 2:38; Romans 8:9; Galatians 5:16-26; 1 John 3:24.)
We believe that humanity was created in the image of God and given rule over all of Earth. Man forfeited everything when he disobeyed God (in the Garden of Eden) despite warnings regarding the consequences. As a result, sorrow, tears, pain, sickness, death, and all that is "not good" came into existence. This was never God's intention (and therefore not His fault). All people who lived since that time have also sinned, for which the penalty is death. Those who reject or ignore Jesus Christ will suffer God's wrath and will suffer eternally in Hell.
Jesus taught that Heaven is a real place, not on this earth.
"In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you." (John 14:2).
Jesus calls Heaven his Father's house. Heaven is a place, a place more real than Earth. Heaven is the destiny of all born-again Christians. When the Christian temporary body on this Earth dies, he immediately goes to Heaven. While this Earth is temporary, Heaven is forever.8
