About Body of Christ-Houston
Our Principles
Based on Scripture, we firmly believe in the principle of One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism, as stated in Ephesians 4:5.
Jesus Christ is our Lord, the exclusive pathway to God. His truth serves as the guiding message for the Church, and it is through His life being lived within us that we can truly please God, as expressed in John 14:5.
The faith we embrace is the same faith preached by the Apostles, as recorded in Acts 2:42. This faith is rooted in the promise Jesus Christ instructed His disciples to await, which is the Holy Ghost, as described in Acts 1:4-8.
Water baptism serves as a public declaration of one's faith. However, it extends beyond the physical act of immersion in water. There is also a baptism of the Holy Ghost, which signifies a transformative change in the soul, shifting from the flesh to being fully immersed in the spirit of God. This understanding is supported by Matthew 3:11-12, Acts 1:4-5, and Romans 6:1-4, 7:5, and 8:9.
Our Community
In our community, individuals from diverse backgrounds come together, bound by a common faith and a heartfelt commitment to pleasing God and faithfully following His teachings. We firmly believe that every member of the larger body of Christ has a valuable contribution to make to the kingdom.
By joining forces and embracing unity, we strive to fulfill the divine purpose that God has entrusted to us: the reconciliation of humanity with Him. We are steadfast in our resolve to fulfill Christ’s ministry entrusted to us. We strive first to be a witness of his life by agreeing with him as Christ lives his life through us as in Gal 2:20. Second by teaching all nations that the same fellowship Christ has with God is now our fellowship as in John 17: 20-26.
Our Vision
Our unwavering commitment lies in igniting and empowering sons of God, emboldening them to fully embrace their authentic identities and God-given talents. Our ultimate goal is to foster a culture of unity and harmony among every member of the global body of Christ.
