WHAT WE STAND ON
1NAME BELIEFS
At 1NAME Church, everything we believe is built on the truth of God’s Word. We are a Jesus-centered, Holy Spirit-empowered, and Bible-rooted church that exists to help people know God, live in freedom, discover their purpose, and make a difference.
Our core beliefs reflect historic Christianity and the foundational truths found in Scripture — including the authority of the Bible, the nature of God as Trinity, the life and saving work of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the hope of eternal life.
THE BIBLE
The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant.
2 Timothy 3:16
2 Peter 1:20-21
Proverbs 30:5
Romans 16:25-26
THE TRINITY
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and co-eternal.
I John 5:7
Genesis 1:26
Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19
Luke 1:35
Isaiah 9:6
Hebrews 3:7-11
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.
John 1:1,14, 20:28
1Timothy 3:16
Isaiah 9:6

SALVATION
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.

Galatians 2:16, 3:8

THE HOLY SPIRIT
Given at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus after His Ascension, to empower the church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth.
Joel 2:28-29
Matthew 3:11
Mark 16:17
Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:38, 44-47, 11:15-17, 19:1-6
THE CHURCH
The church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus' great commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22
Hebrews 12:23
John 17:11, 20-23
HEAVEN & HELL
Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34; John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; 1 Peter 1:4). After living one life on earth, the unbelievers will be judged by God and sent to Hell where they will be eternally tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels.
