About
Pentecostals of Bendigo
Pentecostals of Bendigo is a Bible based church. Following the principles found in the Bible can lead us to live a victorious life.
Our purpose in serving God is to reach out and help our community to come to know Jesus. We want to be the kind of church that is described in the Bible.
Here at Pentecostals of Bendigo, we are more than a church – we are a family. Our desire is for everyone to feel that this is the place they belong.
Our Foundations
God
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16).
Sin & Salvation
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ
(Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9).
The Bible
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living
(II Timothy 3:15-17).
Restoration through the blood
The Lord Jesus came “… to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10). This divine act of restoration is dependent on the blood of the Lamb of God and is the foundation that makes salvation possible (Hebrews 9:22b; Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 1:5b).
The Gospel
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection),
(I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4).
Christian Living
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today
(Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10).
The Future
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal punishment (Matthew 25:41-46;
I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15).
