The Four Most Important Things You Need To Know
 

Jesus Is Lord!
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the creator of the universe. Jesus lived a sinless life, and was crucified to redeem us from our sins. He rose from the dead, and we believe that Jesus is coming again.

The Bible Is True
We believe the Bible is true. Every word of it, from Genesis to Revelation. The Bible governs everything in life. It is the judge, the final authority, and the compass in life. We believe the things the Bible promises are literal and true.

Faith is the Victory
We believe that God has a life of victory for you spiritually, financially, physically, and socially. In every area of your life there is the possibility of victory. And that victory is found through faith in Jesus Christ.

Love Never Fails
Oasis Worship Center Church is many things: a landmark for salvation, a faith church, a place of victory; but above all else, a house of friends, because we believe love never fails. Love never fades away. Friends are the anchor of life. At the end of the day, it is friendships that count.

These are the four most important things we know. If you don't know these four things, you don't know what you need to be a success in life.

The Scriptures.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. We believe it is the product of holy, God-
appointed men who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant,
as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to
conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Peter 1:21) 

The Godhead. 
We believe our God is One, but manifested in three persons -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, being co-equal. God the Father is greater than all. The Son Jesus, is the Word made flesh,
the only begotten son of the father, and He has existed with the Father from the beginning. The
Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is our Helper, Comforter,
Strengthener, Advocate, Intercessor, Standby. (Philippians 2:6, John 14:28, John 16:28, John
1:14, John 1:1, John 1:18, John 15:26) 

Man's Fall and Redemption.
We believe man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God. Through Adam's
transgression and fall, sin came into the world, and death was the result. Man is spiritually dead
and separated from God. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was sent to give His life and shed His
blood to redeem and restore man back to God by providing us with salvation. Salvation is the gift
of God to man, separate from works and the law, and it is by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ
that we are saved. (Romans 5:14, Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23, 1 John 3:8, Ephesians 2:8) 

Eternal Life and The New Birth.
We believe man's first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that works repentance. In order to be
saved, Jesus said every person must be born again. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and
when experienced, produces eternal life. (2 Corinthians 7:10, 1 John 5:12, John 3:3-5) 

Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
We believe the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ
to all believers in this dispensation and is received by faith, subsequent to the New Birth. The
baptism, or infilling of the Spirit, gives a believer power to be a witness for Christ, and is the entry
point for the supernatural, victorious life. This experience is received by faith and then the
believer is commanded to continually "be filled" with the Spirit . We believe that the fruit of the
Spirit should be manifested in the character of the believer and that the gifts of the Spirit should
be manifested in the Church. (Matt. 3:11, John 14:16,17, Acts 1:8, 2:4,38, 19:1-7) 

Water Baptism. 
We believe Jesus commanded all believers to be baptized by immersion in water. This is a
symbol of the Christian's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. (Matthew
28:19, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12, Acts 8:36-39) 

Sanctification. 
We believe the Bible teaches that, without holiness, no man can see the Lord. We believe that
sanctification which leads to a holy life is a definite, yet progressive work of grace. This process
begins at the time of the new birth and continues throughout our Christian life. (Hebrews 12:14, 1
Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Peter 3:18, 2 Cor.3:18, Phil.3:12-14, 1 Cor.1:30) 

Divine Healing. 
We believe healing for the physical ills of the human body is available by the power of God
through the prayer of faith, and/or by the laying on the hands and/or by the supernatural gifts of
the Spirit. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the
Church today. (Mark 16:18, James 5:14-25, 1 Peter 2:24, Matthew 8:17, Isaiah 53:4-5) 

The Church
We believe the Church of Jesus Christ is comprised of all believers and is God's agency for accomplishing His will on earth; and every believer should be committed to a local church. (Eph. 1:22-23, Matt. 16:18, Heb. 10:25)

Resurrection of the Just and the Return of Our Lord. 
We believe in the physical, bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe His coming is
imminent. When He comes, the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive will be caught
up together with them in the clouds (what we refer to as the Rapture), to meet the Lord in the air. 
After this rapture event, we believe the Tribulation, a period of 7 years, will take place on earth. 
Following the Tribulation, Jesus shall return to the Earth as King of kings, the Lord of lords,
believers will return with Him and will be the kings and priests, and will reign a thousand years on
earth during what is known as the Millennial Reign of Christ. (Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17,
Revelation 20:6) 

Hell and Eternal Retribution. 
We believe the one who physically dies without accepting and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord is
hopelessly and eternally lost. This person will spend eternity in hell and the Lake of Fire, and 
therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel and repenting. The Lake of Fire is
literal. The terms "eternal" and "everlasting" used in describing the duration of punishment in the
Lake of Fire carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the
duration of joy and ecstasy of believers in the presence of God. (Hebrews 9:27, Revelation 19:20)
