MISSION AND PURPOSE
MISSION
Our mission at Bethel Gospel Chapel is to win the lost and create disciples locally and globally through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
PURPOSE
The purpose of Bethel Gospel Chapel is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and magnify the word of God, worship God in Spirit and Truth. We are a body of believers who meet solely in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. For the gospel of Jesus Christ is truly the only hope for the world.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
THE BIBLE:
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works." (2 Timothy 3:16, 17, 2 Peter 1:19 - 21. Jeremiah 11:1, Ezekiel 26:1, 27:1).
GOD AND THE DEITY OF CHRIST:
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen."
(2 Corinthians 13:14, Titus 1:3, 4, 2:10, 13, 3:4, 3, Isaiah 43:10, 11, Acts 5:3 -9).
In effect, the Lord Jesus Christ is both fully God who must be honored as the Father is honored
(John 5:22, 23) and fully man, when He, the Word, temporarily laid aside His Glory, to be made
flesh so that He may become our Savior. (John 1:14, 29).
SIN AND DEATH:
We believe the Bible teaches us of our ruined condition by sin.
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."
(Romans 5:12, Psalm 51:5, Isaiah 53:6, 64:6).
When that "one man" sinned he immediately died spiritually. Their offspring, both those close to
him and generations following were all born in sin and possessed the same spiritual deadness.
The Lord set out the two forms of death in Luke 9:60. In 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12,
13, we are reminded that man is made up of spirit, soul & body. Jeremiah spoke of the soul of God.
(Jeremiah 5:9, 29). After the physical death of man, the believer goes immediately to be
with the Lord which is far better.(2 Corinthians 5:8, Philippians 1:21 - 23).
The unbeliever, who dies, is conscious in hell (Luke 16:23 - 31, Matthew 26:63 - 64).
After the final judgment, the spiritually dead will be put in the lake of fire with the beast
& the false prophet. (Matthew 11:21 - 24, Jude 7, Revelation 20:10 - 15, 21:8).
