Our Beliefs
The word of God is the foundation on which The Floodgates is based. These core convictions support and guide the vision and ministries of this church.
The Bible
We believe the Bible to be divinely inspired, undivided, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
God
We believe that there is one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and redemptive death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His personal return in power and glory.
Holy Spirit
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling and empowerment the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. Through Him, the Spiritual enablements are operational in the Church today. Furthermore, we believe that God has provided desiring believers with an enduement of Spiritual power for the evangelization of the lost.
Salvation
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is biblically essential.
Resurrection
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
Unity
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Marriage
We believe that God has established marriage as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one natural-born man and one natural-born woman and that all intimate sexual activity outside the marriage relationship, whether heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise, is immoral and therefore sin.
Gender
We believe that God created the human race male and female and that all conduct with the intent to adopt a gender other than one's birth gender is immoral and therefore sin.
