what we believe
Strong Tower accepts the Scriptures as the revealed will of God, and adopts these statements of fundamental truths.
Scriptures
(2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21, Hebrews 4:12)
God
Jesus Christ
(John 3:16, Matthew 1:18-20)
Holy Spirit
Salvation
Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adams transgression and fall, sin came into the world. The Bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
Mans only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, He was manifested to undo the works of the devil (1John 3:8). When Jesus died on the cross He became sin and sickness for us providing salvation and healing for all. (Psalm 103:3)
Salvation comes by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works. Believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and by confessing with your mouth Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life. (Romans 10:8-10, Ephesians 2:8, Romans 5:20-21)
Water Baptism
We believe that water baptism is by full immersion and is a direct commandment from or Lord and is for believers only. Baptism in water an outward sign of an inward faith, a statement to the world that a believer has died or put away the old ways of life and have been raised to a new way of life in Christ. (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12)
Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as promised by Jesus Christ to all believers and is received subsequent to salvation. Believers are entitled to, and should expect and earnestly seek the promise. Evidence of the Baptism according to scripture is an uncompromising love for others, a boldness to witness the testimony of Jesus Christ and an earnest desire for Christian service as well as speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
