House of Joy Church Beliefs
We believe there is but one living and true God
everlasting, of infinite power, wisdom and goodness;
Maker and Preserver of all things, both visible and
invisible. And in the unity of this Godhead there are
three Persons of one substance of eternal being, and
equal in holiness, justice, wisdom, power, and dignity;
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 3:16,
17; 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 5:7)

We believe that the Son, who is the Word of the
Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with
the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the blessed
virgin; so that two whole and perfect natures, that is
to say, the Godhead and the manhood were joined together
in one Person, never to be divided, whereof is one
Christ, very God and perfect man, who actually suffered,
was crucified, dead, and buried, to reconcile the Father
to us, and to make atonement, not only for our actual
guilt, but also for original sin. (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6;
Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 2:26-35; Colossians 2:9)
We believe that Christ did truly rise again from the
dead, and took again His body, with all things
appertaining to the perfections of man's nature, and
ascended into heaven and there sits until He shall
return to judge all men at the last day.
We believe the Holy Spirit, proceeding from the
Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty and
glory with the Father and the Son, very and eternal God.
(John 14:16, 17, 26; 15:26; 16:7-11, 13-15)
We believe in the verbal and plenary inspiration of
the Holy Scriptures, known as the Bible, composed of
sixty-six books and divided into two departments, Old
and New Testaments. We believe the Bible is the Word of
God, the full and complete revelation of the plan and
history of redemption. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter
1:19-21; John 10:35)
We believe that eternal life with God in heaven is a
portion of the reward of the finally righteous; and that
everlasting banishment from the presence of the Lord and
unending torture in hell are the wages of the
persistently wicked (Matthew 25:46; Psalm 9:17;
Revelation 21:7-8).
