Who We Are

Welcome to our Web site!  This page contains our articles of faith.

It explains what we believe, and lists the Scriptures that are the basis of those beliefs.  

Local Church Government
In order to establish our work on a more permanent basis, We the members of the Local Pineland Pentecostal Church, assembly at Temple Avenue, Pineland, Texas; affirm our belief that God's People should be scrupulously set in Order.  It is needful for them to be efficiently organized to successfully carry on the Gospel work, and properly handle their business affairs.

Purpose
A house divided against itself cannot stand.  The main purpose of Articles of Faith Constitution is to provide rules to Govern the Assembly according to the Scriptures, so that we may advance in the Will of God.  Titus 1:5, 1 Corinthians 12:28

We Believe:

One True God - 1 Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 4:6, 2 Corinthians 5:19, Joel 2:28  

Everlasting - Eternal- Infinite in Power - Holy in nature, attributes and purpose and possessing absolute indivisible duty.

This One God has revealed Himself as Father through His Son in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit, by emanation.

This True God is invisible, incorporeal, without parts, without body, and therefore free from all limitations.  He is spirit (John 4:24) and a spirit hath not flesh and bones. (Luke 24:29)  Manifested Himself in divers ways; in the Son He walked among men; as the Holy Spirit after the ascension.

Therefore, Jesus, in His humanity, was man in His deity, was God.  His flesh was the Lamb, or Sacrifice of God.  Jesus, on His Father's side was Divine, on His Mother's side, human.  He was known as Son of God and also Son of Man or God Man.
