Our Beliefs
Glowing Heart serves alongside churches that represent diverse traditions and denominational affiliations. Our desire is to work in harmony on the basis of the essential doctrines listed below.
God the Father
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is a loving God that created man in His own image for fellowship, and sent His son as an atonement for the sins of man.
Jesus the Son
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, both fully God and fully human. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died as the sacrificial substitute to pay for the penalty of sin, physically rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will one day physically return.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit indwells all believers, evidenced by the fruits and gifts given by the Holy Spirit. This indwelling accomplishes God’s regenerating and sanctifying work which cleanses man from the old nature and conforms us to the image of God.
The Bible
The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is all breathed out by God and is profitable for training, teaching, correction and reproof. Through His transformative Word, man is equipped for every good work.
People
God created man and woman in His perfect image with equality across lines of ethnicity, gender, and class. All humanity, Christ excluded, is sinful by both birth and action. The sin separates people from God and the deserved penalty for sin is physical and spiritual death.
Salvation
Salvation in Jesus Christ is a redemptive process, wholly of God, in which believers participate solely on the basis of His grace through their faith in Jesus. Salvation is an act of free will in response to God’s personal love for mankind and should produce an active lifestyle of loving obedience and service to Him.
