We believe the Bible to be given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, infallible, and God's revealed word to man. We believe that Scripture teaches that there is only one true and living God who has chosen to reveal Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22). We believe that man is a sinful being in need of redemption (Genesis 1:26-31; Genisis 3:1-7; Psalm 51:5; Ecclesiastes 7:29; John 6:44; Romans 5:12-21; 1Corinthians 2:14). We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, that He is the Son of God and the son of man, that He came to save man from condemnation of sin by offering His blood as an atonement and making it available to all who exercise faith in Him (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31,35; John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21). We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (Luke 7:50, 24:47; Romans 10:13-15; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 2:15; Ephesians 2:8, 9; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 2:11, 3:5-7).  We must be born again. We believe the Scriptures ascribe to the Holy Spirit the acts and attributes of an intelligent being, and that the works of God such as creation, inspiration, giving of life, and sanctification are also ascribed to the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:2; Job 33:4; Mark 3:29; John 16:8, 13; Acts 7:51, 10:19, 13:2, 13:4, 16:6; 1 Corinthians 2:11, 6:11, 12; Ephesians 4:30; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 1:21). We believe that believers should receive water baptism, celebrate the Lord's Supper and dedicate their young children to the Lord. We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life (Romans 8:5; Philippians 2:12, 13; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 John 2:29). We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is given to believers who ask for it (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:4). We believe that all mankind is subject to the death of the body as a result of original sin. The soul and spirit do not die, but immediately after death enter into a conscious state of happiness or misery according to the character here possessed by rejection or acceptance of the Savior (Ecclesiastes 12:7; Romans 5:12; Philippians 1:23). We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved to everlasting life and the lost without Christ to everlasting damnation (Matthew 24:31-46; Acts 24:15; Revelation 22:11). We believe in the personal, imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). We believe that the redemptive work on the cross and the anointing work of Jesus Christ provides not only salvation but healing and prosperity for all believers. A FREE gift to all mankind. (Matthew 8:16 & 17; 1 Peter 2:24; James 5:14,15). We believe that, above all, God is a good God.  We believe that...”He has come that we might have and enjoy life in abundance, the the full, until it overflows” (John 10:10, AMP).  We believe that God desires for each believer to be prospering in their soul (mind, will, and emotions) and that they receive this by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God (3 John 2; Romans 8:32; Romans 12:12; James 1:17).  This of course will affect all other areas of life; family, marriage, relationship, business, finances, health, etc. Word of Life Regional Church Meeting @ Best Western Royal Brock Hotel & Conference Centre 716 Gordon Road  Guelph, ON Phone 519-821-1022 Fax 519-821-0627 info@wolrc.org
