Beautiful Restoration
OUR BELIEFS
God
God is ruler of all things. There is only one God, and He is eternally existent in three coequal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father
God the Father is the Creator and sustainer of everything. He created man in His own image for fellowship, and is calling man back to Himself through Christ after the rebellion and fall of man. The Son
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is coequal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again someday to earth to reign as King. The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a gift from God to man. He was sent by God to be a “Helper” to us. He enters our lives at the moment of salvation. He provides supernatural power beyond our human abilities; power for living, understanding spiritual truth and guidance for our daily lives. This power enables every believer to “do” and “be” whatever our Lord has purposed in our lives. We believe in the gift of the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and that it is a choice that each believer chooses for themselves and should not be dictated by anyone. The Bible
The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs about living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without error. Salvation
People are made in the image of God, to be like Him in character. Although we all have tremendous potential for good, all of us are impaired by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin.” Sin separates us from God. Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his or her life by faith. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. Anyone who is united with Christ gets a fresh start and is created new. God creates each of us with a plan and purpose for our lives which we cannot fulfill except through Him. The Church
We believe The Church is outside the four walls of any building, but coming together in unity should be a regular occurrence in a local body of believers. At Beautiful Restoration, we do not want to take the part of the local church but come alongside by being another tool to equip the body of Christ to live a victorious and infectious life for Jesus. We believe and invest in the global and local church and strongly consider ourselves as one part of a big family of believers that began in the book of Acts. We believe BR is a place of unity, community and the teachings of Christ. According to Ephesians 4:11-12, we believe it is our privilege to come alongside the local church to equip the people for works of service and to impact the world for Christ. Water Baptism
Anyone who repents of their sin and believes in Christ as their Savior is to be baptized in water. By doing this, they symbolically declare to the world that they have died with Christ and have also been raised to live a new life with Him. Communion
The Lord’s supper, consisting of bread and fruit of the vine, is a symbol expressing our sharing of the divine nature of Christ, the memorial of his suffering and death, and the prophecy of His second coming.
