Manton IV, along with the partners, members

has a dream that is born of the Holy Spirit;
and a story of obedience to Jesus Christ's command
to preach the Gospel and make disciples around

bold and innovative programs to meet the needs

"Where
there is no vision, the people perish" - Proverbs 29:18

| It
is absolutely essential that every Christian
understand the basic doctrines of Christianity.
These principles form a foundation for further
building of a ‘quality’ life. Only
upon this solid foundation can the Lord build
a beautiful, strong house that will stand for
His glory against the wiles of the enemy. |

- Listed on this page you will find
some of our church's foundational beliefs.
Repentance From
Dead Works
Based in Hebrews 6:1-2, this is the first step toward a
powerful, saving relationship with God. The word "repentance"
means a change of mind that "involves both turning
from sin and turning to God". It involves not only
sorrow for one's sins, but a change in one's behavior. It
is one’s turning from a life of sin over which the
devil is lord, to a life of righteousness over which Jesus
Christ is Lord.
Faith Toward
God
This is the second foundational stone listed in Hebrews
6:1-2. Faith that saves is preceded by repentance. This
kind requires obedience to the Word of God. Faith is trust
and belief; a belief without initial proof. Faith in God
is total confidence and trust that God will do all that
He promises. It is an attitude of believing and agreeing
with God that what He said in His Word is absolute.
Doctrines of Baptism; Into Christ
This occurs when one repents from dead works (sin), reaches
toward God in faith, and accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior, he/she experiences salvation or the baptism into
Christ. We all should answer some simple questions and find
out where you stand in eternity.
Doctrines of Baptism; Into the Body of Christ
Upon salvation, the new believer becomes part of the Church
- not just a local church or a denomination, but the family
of Christians on this earth called the Body of Christ. Each
believer must discover and function in his God-ordained
capacity in the Body.
Doctrines of Baptism; Water Baptism
Being baptized in water (complete submersion) is an act
of obedience every believer is commanded to fulfill after
repenting of sin and confessing faith in Christ. It is a
separate experience from salvation and is meant to be an
outward expression of the believer's public renouncing of
sin.
Doctrines of Baptism; Baptism of the Holy Spirit
The apostles taught that the baptism of the Holy Spirit
is a separate experience from the other three baptisms mentioned
above. It gives the Holy Spirit preeminence in a believer's
life so God can accomplish His work. The gifts of tongues
(prayer language) and prophecy are outward manifestations
of this baptism (Acts 2:4, Acts 10:46, Acts 19:6).
Laying On Of Hands
The purposes of this act include ordination (Deuteronomy
34:9, Numbers 27:18), spiritual impartation (Numbers 27:20,
Deuteronomy 34:9), divine appointment to position (Numbers
27:18), and transference of spiritual authority (Numbers
27:23). God has given every believer the authority to minister
to those in need by the laying on of hands in the Name of
Jesus.
Resurrection of the Dead and Eternal Judgment
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is historically and spiritually
important as a basis for our Christian faith. It has opened
the way for all who receive Christ as Savior to experience
the resurrection life (Colossians 2:13). The Bible speaks
of four future judgments; the Great White Throne Judgment
(Revelation 20:11-15), the Judgment Seat of Christ (I Corinthians
3:8-16), the Judgment of the Living Nations (Matthew 25:31-46),
and the Judgment of Fallen Angels (Jude 6:11, II Peter 2-4).
The Authority Of Scripture
The book of the Holy Scriptures (the Bible) is the inerrant,
infallible, inspired Word of God (II Timothy 3:16-17). The
Bible is God's infallible revelation as recorded by His
servants when the divine authority of the Holy Spirit moved
upon them. This same anointing came upon approximately 40
writers who wrote 66 books of the Bible in different locations
over a period of 1,600 years - all without contradiction.
The Bible is truly a miracle book!
The Doctrine Of Prayer
Prayer is the act of entreating earnestly. It is thanks
and praise given to God, as well as requests made of Him.
It is a means of speaking to God and a time to hear Him
speak back (John 15:7-8).
Always Advancing God’s Kingdom…His for
the Miraculous & Yours for the Breakthrough!
