OUR BELIEFS

At Summit, we believe that all Scripture is God-breathed, and we base our beliefs on what is written in His Word. We believe that living life according to God’s Word is the way to an abundant and fulfilling life.

The Bible is the inspired Word of God.
(2 Timothy 3:16)
In the Eternal Godhead, who has revealed Himself as One God, existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy  Spirit, distinguishable but indivisible.
(Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to his disciples.
(1  Corinthians 15:14, Romans 4:25)

In the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven; His exaltation and personal, literal and bodily coming again for His  Church.

(John 14:2-3, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

In the salvation of sinners by Grace, through repentance and through faith in the perfect and sufficient work of  the cross by which we obtain forgiveness of sins.
(Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 9:12,22; Romans 5:11)
In water baptism by immersion in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ, which is in the name of the Father, Son and  Holy Spirit. This is an act of obedience and public confession.
(Acts 2:34-38; 1 Peter 3:18-21)
In the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation, generally evidenced with tongues  and/or prophesying, as the Spirit gives utterance. And we believe in the fruit of the Spirit.
(Acts 2:4, 8:14-17;  Galatians 5:22-23)

In the present day expression of the Gifts of the Spirit as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12-14 as were manifested in  the early church.

In the table of the Lord, known as communion or The Lord’s Supper for believers.
(1 Corinthians 11:28-32)
In eternal life for the believer and eternal punishment for the unbeliever.
(John 5:24; John 3:16, 2 Thessalonians  1:9, Revelations 20:10-15)
In the present day operation of the fivefold ministries of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher  (Ephesians 4:11) for the perfection of the church; and in local government ministries of elders and Deacons.
(1  Timothy 3; Titus 1; Acts 6)
In the ministry of laying on of hands for healing and impartation of the gifts of the Spirit.
(James 5:14; 1 Timothy  4:14)
In the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, acknowledging that strong marriages make for a  strong church..
(Matthew 19:4; Genesis 2:21)
That Jesus Christ is to be glorified by His Church. We are to be part of a “complete” body, expressing the  Kingdom of God to the world. This involves a lifestyle of discipleship as well as equipping and maturing believers  to minister the truths and principles of God’s Word in love and service.
(Titus 2:11-14, Ephesians 4:11-13)
Jesus is coming for a glorious bride.
(Ephesians 5:27)
