We Believe
This House accepts the Holy Scriptures as the revealed will of God, the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity, believes as follows:
1. The Scriptures Inspired-The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man -the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:15-17; I Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
2.The One True God-The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM”, the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19).
3.The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare: (a) His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31,35) (b) His sinless life (Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22) (c) His miracles (Acts 2:22; 10:38) (d) His substitutionary work on the cross (1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21) (e) His bodily resurrection from the dead (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:4) (f) His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9,11; 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3).
4. The Fall of Man-Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”How-ever, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God (Genesis 1:26,27; 2:17; 3:6; Romans 5:12-19).
5. The Salvation of Man-The only hope of redemption for man is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God. (a) Conditions to Salvation. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life (Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7). (b) The Evidences of Salvation. The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24; Titus 2:12).
6. The Ordinances of the Church. (a)Baptism in Water-
The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Saviour and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47,48; Romans 6:4). (b) Holy Communion-The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements –bread, and the fruit of the vine –are the symbols expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4); a memorial of His suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26); and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26); and is enjoined on all believers “till He come!”
7. The Baptism in the Holy Ghost-All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31). This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9). With the Baptism in the Holy Ghost come such experiences as an overflowing fullness of the Spirit (John 7:37-39; Acts 4:8), a deepened reverence for God (Acts 2:43; Hebrews 12:28), an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work (Acts 2:42), and a more active love for Christ, for His Word and for the lost (Mark 16:20).
8 .The Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost-The baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4). The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:4-10, 28), but different in purpose and use.
9.Sanctification-Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God (Romans 12: 1,2; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12). The Scriptures teach a life of “holiness without which no man shall see the Lord”(Hebrews 12:14). By the power of the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command, “Be ye holy, for I am holy”(1 Peter 1:5). Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:1-11; 8:1,2,13; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 2:12,13; 1 Peter 1:5).
10.The Church and Its Mission-The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven (Ephesians 1:22,23; Hebrews 12:23). Since God’s purpose concerning man is to save that which is lost, to be worshipped by man, and to build a body of believers in the image of His Son, the primary reason-for-being of Cornerstone House of Prayer as part of the Church is: (a)To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world (Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:19,20; Mark 16:15,16).
The Church is God’s primary instrument through which He is fulfilling His redemptive purposes in the earth. To equip the saints for the work of ministry, God has given the Church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. We also affirm the priesthood of all believers and the importance of every Christian being joined with and actively involved in a local community of the saints. We believe that women, no less than men, are called and gifted to proclaim the Gospel and do all the works of the Kingdom. (Matthew 16:17–19; Acts 2:17–18, 42; Ephesians 3:14–21, 4:11–16; 1 Timothy 2:11–15; Hebrews 10:23–25; 1 Peter 2:4–5, 9–10).
Our Community
CORNERSTONE HOUSE OF PRAYER (CHOP)
Cornerstone House of Prayer is a place for those seeking a relationship with God, and don't have a place of worship, or have experienced "hurt" and "pain" and desire freedom through the power of prayer and a deeper relationship with God and His Word. ”The prayer of the righteous has great power in its effect” James 5:16. Cornerstone Houses equip, train, and empower people to live a way of life that reflects freedom and abundance through Christ who gives us strength (Philippians 4:13). Our experience is that prayer moves the Hand that moves the world!
Cornerstone H.O.P.s provide foundational strategies for Prayer, Praise And Worship, A Focus On Teaching The Word, Personal Ministry Time, And Fellowship, Communion, And Giving, as in other church settings.
Feeling the call to lead? Our C.H.O.P. strategy is modeled after the early church—the Book of Acts church focused on fellowship, equipping, sending, awakening and societal transformation. C.H.O.P. in any community is a pure ekklesia—a tactical operation, organization, and deployment, for the unity of the body of Christ. Our network is focused more on relationships than a denominational model. Reach out to us to start a conversation about alignment, commissioning, planting a C.H.O.P., an apostolic center, or Cornerstone Prayer Huddle in your community.
CORNERSTONE PRAYER HUDDLES (CPH)
Cornerstone Prayer Huddles are designed to gather a team of intercessors who have one thing in common: to intercede for the Lord’s will in its city, state and nation. Cornerstone Prayer Huddles can be organized in churches, homes, or the marketplace. We serve and come alongside churches for the purpose of growing God’s Kingdom. Contact us to organize a Cornerstone Prayer Huddle in your church, business, or home at info@cornerstonehouseofprayer.org.
