Jesus said in Luke's gospel that repentance and
remission of sins would be preached in His name
beginning at Jerusalem. He told His disciples to go
to Jerusalem and wait for the promise. In Acts the
second chapter we read of this great experience
and those that heard asked what they must do to
be saved and Peter told them the same thing Jesus
told them and that was to repent and be baptized
for the remission of sins and they would receive
the Holy Ghost that was promised to all that
believe.

Bible: Inspired Word of God
We believe the Bible to be inspired truth without error, even to the very words,
and that it is therefore the inspired word of God.
Salvation
God created mankind to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by
sinfully living life their own way. To rectify this, we need God's saving grace to
end our separation from Him.
As the Bible teaches, we believe that salvation is by grace through faith in
Jesus Christ, not by works. Faith in Jesus is the means by which a person is
justified. At the same time, a sinner must believe the gospel; he is commanded
to repent of his sinful life, to be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ,
and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking with
other tongues (Acts 2:38; 4:12; 8:12-17; 10:43-48; 19:1-6). Thus the various
aspects of faith and obedience work together in God's grace to reconcile us to
God.
Oneness of God
We believe that the one God who revealed Himself in the Old Testament as
Jehovah revealed himself in His Son, Jesus Christ. Thus, Jesus Christ was and
is God. In other words, Jesus is the one true God manifested in flesh, for in Him
dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (John 1:1-14; I Timothy 3:16;
Colossians 2:9).
While fully God, Jesus was also fully man, possessing a full and true humanity.
He was both God and man. Moreover, the Holy Spirit is God with us and in us.
Thus God is manifested as Father in creation, in the Son for our redemption,
and as the Holy Spirit in our regeneration.
Living a Holy Life
We believe that God, who is holy, calls each of us into relationship with Him.
This relationship with Him manifests itself in every aspect of our lives,
including our families. As such, Calvary Pentecostal Church stresses and
supports the family unit as God's primary institution. With the knowledge of His
plan for salvation, the revelation of who He is, and the blessing of the life He
equips us to lead, we believe in covenanting the Spirit -- anticipating the soon
return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
