Ask Us a Question!

We do not have an official stance. This is a hotly debated topic which we certainly have opinions on but find it a non-essential doctrine therefore it is best to speak personally with a pastor on staff directly about. We do believe Jesus Christ is indeed coming again! We do believe Jesus Christ will reign victorious how and when He does that only He fully knows.

I side with the Bible :-)
“And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,” (Hebrews 9:27)
either these people were not completely dead or due to the advancements of medicine they were able to be brought back. I think it is fair to say that "death" here refers to that state of the human body in which through time and exposure the physical body is unable to be resuscitated. I think it fair to allow for more than a minute of "time" to go past before the wonders of modern medicine can revive the heart. Let's not confuse the "death" scripture talks about with the state some temporarily find themselves in.
Final thought... God is a God of mystery. Somethings He has not chosen to make clear to us and this should enhance our worship not weaken it! What kind of God would He be if we could figure Him completely out? Death is such a mystery that none of us will fully know until we cross through it. Scripture is true and we can stake our lives on it, so I would!

Yes, we will make one and have it ready for you after Wednesday the 14th. May I have your information or how do we get it to you?

"Godparents" is really a Roman Catholic idea of someone who would be appointed to care for a child at their baptism should anything befall the parents and they die prematurely.

Several issues here: First, we don't recognize child baptism or confirmation. We believe in believer's baptism not paedobaptism (infant or child baptism). We believe one should only be baptized when one understands and acknowledges that Jesus Christ is God and that He alone has saved them from their sins and provided the way to relationship with God the Father through His Death and Resurrection from the grave. So we don't "confirm" or "baptize" any infant or child since they cannot make a cognitive decision for Christ. We do dedicate our children to the Lord but this is basically a charge to the parents of those children to raise them in the nurture and teaching of God's Word - the Bible. Should a tragedy occur where the parents are taken prematurely from the child we as a church come alongside and do all we can to ensure that child has a home and care so that he will not suffer neglect.

Since we do not recommend or condone the process of confirmation or paedobaptism we have no churches to recommend for this extra-biblical practice.

Should there be a desire to talk more about this in person, we would love the opportunity to do this with you to explain more fully our convictions and what the Bible teaches on this topic. We can be reached at 603-926-3724.
