This article will clearly explain what we believe at City of Light Church, so whether you’re exploring Christianity, new to faith, or looking for a church to call home, you’ll understand the spiritual foundation we stand on.
The Bible – Our Ultimate Authority
We believe that the Holy Scriptures—all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments—are the divinely inspired Word of God.
Infallible and Inerrant
The Bible is without error in its original form and is our ultimate authority in all matters of faith, life, and doctrine. At City of Light Church, we teach and preach from Scripture as the living Word of God.
Create a Prayer Battle Plan
The languages only differ in their grammar, their pronunciation and their most common words. Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators.
- To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words.
- If several languages coalesce, the grammar of the resulting language is more simple and regular than that of the individual languages.
The new common language will be more simple and regular than the existing European languages. It will be as simple as Occidental.
The Trinity – One God in Three Persons
We believe in the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Three in One
These three are one in essence, equal in power and glory, and perfectly united. This belief is central to our Christian doctrine at City of Light Church.
God the Father – Creator and Sustainer
God the Father is the first person of the Trinity. He is the Creator of all things, sovereign over the universe, and full of love, mercy, and justice.
He reveals Himself as a loving Father who desires a relationship with His creation.
Jesus Christ – Our Savior and Lord
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human.
Born of a Virgin and Risen from the Dead
He was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a substitute for our sins, and rose again to offer us eternal life. Jesus is the only way to salvation.
The Holy Spirit – Empowering the Church
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, who lives within every believer.
Power, Guidance, and Gifts
He empowers us to live a holy life, leads us into truth, and gives spiritual gifts for ministry. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a separate experience from salvation, evidenced by a deeper intimacy with God and spiritual boldness.
Salvation – By Grace Through Faith
We believe that salvation is a free gift from God, not earned by works, but received through faith in Jesus Christ.
Transformed by Grace
When a person repents and believes in Jesus, they are forgiven, redeemed, and made new. This transformation is the beginning of a lifelong journey of growing in God’s grace.
Creation and the Fall – Humanity’s Need for Redemption
We believe God created the world out of nothing (ex-nihilo) and made mankind in His image.
Sin Entered the World Through Adam
Through the sin of Adam, humanity became separated from God. That’s why Jesus came—to restore what was lost and bring us back into right relationship with God.
Eternity – Heaven and Hell Are Real
We believe in eternal life for the saved and eternal separation from God for the lost.
Heaven Is the Reward, Hell Is Real
Heaven is a place of eternal joy and union with God, while hell is a place of eternal separation and judgment. We are called to share the Gospel so that more people can choose eternal life.
The Church – The Body of Christ
City of Light Church is part of the universal Church, made up of all believers worldwide.
Called to Worship, Disciple, and Evangelize
We gather to worship God, grow in discipleship, serve each other, and share the Gospel. As a Spirit-filled church in Arlington, TX, we believe in actively being the hands and feet of Jesus in our city and beyond.
The Return of Jesus – Our Blessed Hope
We believe that Jesus Christ will return again, physically and visibly, to judge the living and the dead.
This gives us hope and urgency to live holy lives and share the Gospel until He comes.
