OUR STATEMENT of FAITH We believe in, and live by, God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His Son, Our Lord, Who was
conceived by the Holy Ghost Through the Word of God and born of the virgin,
Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified dead and buried. He
descended into Hell and He stripped Satan of his power. Upon the third
day He rose again and Ascended into Heaven Where He is seated at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty. We believe in the forgiveness of all sins,
the resurrection of the body, the communion of the saints, and life
everlasting. We believe that through a daily profession of faith and
trust in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, His death, burial, resurrection, and
ascension; one may become a partaker of their inheritance in Him.
1.We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God written by holy
men as they were instructed by God. It is the inerrant Word of God (11
Tim 3:15).
2.We believe that Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make
man in Our own image, after Our likeness.” But man, voluntarily
transgressed against God, and God has provided man with his only hope of
salvation and redemption which is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen.
1:26-31, 3:17, Rom. 5:12-21).
3.We believe that Jesus came as a man, was born of a virgin, and His father is
God.
4.We believe that Jesus was born without the inherited sin of Adam and, during
his entire life, committed no sin. Jesus was the eternal Father made
visible, apart from whom there is no God (I Tim. 3:16, John 10:30, Is. 9:6,
Luke 2:11, Rev. 1:8).
5.We believe in the personal salvation of believers through the confession of
sins, recognizing that Jesus Christ is the substitute for our sins, through His
shed blood. It is by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ and
His shed blood, that we become an heir of God (Rom. 10:9, 10, 1 John 1:9, Eph.
2:8,9).
6.We believe that the New Birth is a direct witness of the Spirit and is an
inward confession of Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:16).
7.We believe that following salvation through Jesus Christ you should be
baptized…as commanded by the Lord Jesus. This was the last command He
left His apostles. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.” (Matt.
28:19) Mark 16:16 reads, “ He that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved…”
8.We believe in the imminent return, second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ for
His Church (His bride). We believe that there is a heaven and a hell.
Heaven is a place of eternal rest for the righteous (those who have accepted Jesus
Christ as atonement for their sins) and hell is a place of eternal damnation
for the unrighteous (those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and
Savior) (Matt. 28:19, Mark 16:16). We believe in the Great Commission –
to minister God’s saving grace and to reach out to the poor and lost in spirit
(Mark 16:15). And foremost, to honor and obey God’s command, “take the
gospel into all the world.”
CHRISTIAN COUNSELING (SGM) Shepherds Gate Missions, Inc.
A CHRISTIAN COUNSELOR is like an improvisational
performer that goes into the world commissioned to teach, heal the sick, help
people take control to heal their mind, body and spirit, and they will get well
(Mark 16: 15, 17). Combining Cognitive Biblical therapy and psychology
and its specialized discipline of psychotherapy is a complete holistic blend of
earthly knowledge and heavenly wisdom to help all people in need. It says
in Proverbs 2: 10, "For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will
be pleasant to your soul (NIV). It is crucial to account for a person's:
physical, emotional, mental, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of
their life. Leaving any of this out will only hinder healing the whole person.
The main goal for counseling is to give direction so people can take
positive control of their lives and change their thoughts, emotions, how they
behave, and move them into a new Godly life. Without replacing the
problems with a (renewed) changed Biblical mind, body, and Spirit the problems
will come back. It says in Titus 3: 5, “He saved us, not because of
righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us
through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit” (NIV). We
need to create a new pure heart and renew a steadfast spirit within as it says
in Psalm 51: 10.
We believe in offering natural remedies and techniques besides counseling to
heal the whole person in body, mind and spirit:
Prayer (individual, family, children)
Prayer groups
Aromatherapy
Relaxation and Meditation
Reflexology
Massage
Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)
To help with PTSD, (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
