Harvest Time Ministries Doctrinal Statement of Faith

• WE BELIEVE that there are three dimensions of one God ( 1John 5:7, Matt 28:19, Tim 3:16).

•  WE BELIEVE  in one God who is eternal in His existence, Triune in His manifestation, being the father, Son and Holy Ghost, and that He is sovereign and absolute in His authority.

•  WE BELIEVE  in the Father who is God Himself, Creator of the universe (Gen 1, 1 John 1:1).

•  WE BELIEVE that Jesus is the Son of God (Col 2:9). He suffered, died, was buried and rose from the dead for our total salvation (Lk 3:21-22, Phil 2:5-11). We believe that Jesus is the Way, Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him (Jn 3:36, Jn 3:31-32, Jn 14:16).

•  WE BELIEVE in the Holy Spirit who is God indwelling, empowering and regenerating the Believer. This Holy Spirit is called the Comforter. The Spirit of Truth (Jn 14:17, ; 14:26).

•  WE BELIEVE that the blood of Jesus Christ atones for our sins and iniquity. It is through  His shed blood we are saved, healed and set free from bondage and the forces of darkness (Rom 5:9-11, Eph 1:7, rev 12:11).

•  WE BELIEVE that every Believer must have a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ-for, apart from Him we can do nothing. Each person has a ministry from God that no one else can fulfill. We are to instruct, teach, exhort and  admonish Believers in the ways of God (Jn 15:1-5,Heb 13:5-7).

•  WE BELIEVE that the Bible is the true infallible word of God, which cleanses our souls. It holds the words of eternal life and the keys to the Kingdom of God. The Bible shows us God’s principles and standards for living, and it is the food that sustains us in all circumstances (Jn 1;14, 2Tim 3:16-17, 1Jn 2:5-6 )

•  WE BELIEVE  that we are to wash our minds daily by the Word of God. We must learn His ways and exchange our way of thinking for his way of thinking. We are to be conformed to the Kingdom of God by the molding and shaping of his Hands (Rom 12: 1-2, Eph 4:23-29, Phil 4;8 ).

•  WE BELIEVE in justification by Faith, that salvation is free and apart from any work of man, and is a result of the sovereign grace of God (Eph 2:8-9, Gal 5:5, Rom 5:1 ).

•  WE BELIEVE in worshiping the Lord in Spirit, song and dance, and with the raising of our hands. We believe that we are to praise and worship Him with our whole being (Ps 150:1-6, Jn 4:24 ).

•  WE BELIEVE that godly living and the pursuit of a holy life should be the goal of every Believer (Heb 12:14, Phil 3:14 ).

•  WE BELIEVE that, as Believers, we should be water baptized (by immersion) for the circumcision of our hearts. It is through baptism that we publicly identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Rom 6:3-6, Col 2:11-14, Acts 2:38).

•  WE BELIEVE that all  Christians are to partake of the communion elements that represents the Lord Jesus’ body and blood. It is by participating in the Lord’s Supper that we proclaim His death until His return (Jn 6:53-58, 1Cor 11:23-30).

•  WE BELIEVE in the baptism of the holy Spirit ,with the sign of speaking in other  tongues. Further, we believe that Christians must be filled daily by using our prayer language, but the evidence of the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence is a changed life (Acts 2:4, Eph 5:18-21).

•  WE BELIEVE in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits , faith,  working of miracles and healing ( Mk 16:15-18,  Acts 5:16, 2Cor 12:1-11).

•  WE BELIEVE that it is God’s will to heal and deliver people today as He did in the days of the first Apostles . It is by the stripes of Jesus we are healed, delivered and made whole. We have authority over sickness, disease, demons, curses and every circumstance in life (Lk 10;19, 2Cor 10:4-5, 1Pet 2:24).

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature… And these signs will follow those who believe. In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover,” (Mk 16:15-18).

NOTE:  We at HARVEST TIME MINISTRIES  holds these truths and many others to be precious and dear. However our purpose is to be a place of ministry and healing for those in need. Christians have always had diversity in their theology and will continue to do so until the great return of the Master teacher himself. In the mean time, we want to provide healing and encouragement to the body of Christ, at large.
