Agape Light Ministries

We believe that there is one true God who is Almighty and All-knowing, the Creator of all things, and a perfect Spirit-being eternally existing in three persons: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are equal in every Divine perfection and execute harmonious roles in the work of creation and redemption. (Gen. 1:1-26; Deut. 6:4; John 1:1-3; John 4:24; Matt. 28:19; Acts 20:32; Rom. 1:19-20; Eph. 4:5-6)

God the Father is an eternal Spirit perfect in Holiness, Wisdom, Power and Love.  He infallibly ordains all that shall come to pass, while giving man a free will to accept or reject His laws and commandments.  He hears and answers prayer, and saves from eternal death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ His Son. (Luke 10:21-22; Matt. 23:9; John 3:16, 6:27; Rom. 1:7; 1 Tim. 1:1-2, 2:5-6; 1 Peter 1:3; Rev.1:6)

He is God’s Only Begotten Son and has the same nature, attributes, and perfection as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. He is not only true God, but also true man, conceived by the Holy Spirit. He was tempted in all things and yet sinned not; and through His perfect Blood Atonement Sacrifice that he offered up on mankind’s behalf, He has provided Eternal Life to all who will repent and put their full trust in Him. (Matt. 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; John 1:1-14, 20:28; Rom. 9:5, 8:46; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:21-23; John 20:30-31; Matt. 20:28; Eph. 1:4; Acts 1:11; Rom. 5:6-8, 6:9-10; Heb. 7:25, 9:28; 1 Tim. 3:16)

He is true God with the same attributes and perfection of God. The Holy Spirit’s ministry is to glorify Jesus and to convict the world of sin. The Holy Spirit regenerates, indwells, spiritually gifts, guides, instructs, empowers and sanctifies all believers in Christ. We believe that given to every believer is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, conferring all the benefits and power of being part of Christ. He is the One who leads into all Truth. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is also available as a provision to believers who desire to receive it and is evidenced by the speaking in tongues and a deeper anointing that equips them for service. (John 14:16-26, 15:26-27, 16:8-14; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 3:16, 6:19, 12:13; Gal. 5:22-26)

We believe that God created humanity beginning with Adam and Eve, male and female, in the image of God. They were one with Him in holiness and righteousness. But through their disobedience against God’s Word, sin entered into the world and they and their descendants were then separated from God and became spiritually dead. As a result, all humans are born with a sinful nature, and so are under condemnation. Man is not capable of obtaining or working toward salvation, apart from God’s Grace and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. (Gen. 1:26, 5:2, 2:17, 3:19; Rom. 3:10-11, 23; Rom. 5:12-21, 6:23)

Heaven is the destination for all “born again” believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is God’s Eternal Kingdom of Love, Light, and Life in which there is no more death, pain, suffering, sorrow, or tears.  (John 17:24; 2 Cor. 5:1; Heb. 11:16; 1 Peter 1:4)

After living one life on earth, all who have rejected God’s gift of Love and Grace that was offered in the Blood Atonement Sacrifice of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, will be judged to spend an eternity in Hell’s torment. God’s Will is that none would perish, but have Eternal Life.  But if man continues to reject God’s commandments and His free Gift of Grace, choosing sin instead, he will bring the penalty of sin’s death upon himself and will be forever separated from the God of Love. (Matt. 25:41; Heb. 9:27; Rev. 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:8)

We believe that the shed Blood of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection Power provide the only basis for justification and Salvation for all who trust in Him. Salvation is received by Grace alone through faith in Christ, apart from any human merit, good works, or ritual. Genuine Salvation results in regeneration within the spirit man and is evidenced through sincere repentance of sins, and complete surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It is a miracle accomplished only in Him in which the Saved one becomes a new creation, old things having passed away and all things having become new. Through obeying God’s Word by the Holy Spirit’s power, the believer is no longer under condemnation and is able to live a life of increasing holiness and good works, in conformity to Christ and the Will and Word of God (Sanctification). If a person is truly born again, he has Eternal Life and cannot then ultimately be lost and condemned. (John 1:12; Acts 2:38-39, 3:19, 4:12; Rom. 3:28, 4:5, 6:1-22, 8:1; 1 Cor. 15:1-4, 12:13; 2 Cor. 5:17; 1 Peter 3:18; John 5:24; 6:37-40, 10:27-30; Rom. 8:29-33)

The true church of Jesus Christ is comprised of every born-again believer over the face of the earth. They are the body of Christ, of which He is the Head, and His holy bride who will reign with Him forever. As His ambassadors on the earth, His Church heralds the good news of His Salvation into the darkness of the world, living out the fruits of the Holy Spirit as witnesses in righteousness and holiness. (Eph. 2:10, Matt. 7:15-20; Eph. 1:18-23)

“For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with a voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and thus we shall always be with the Lord.” (1 Thess. 4:16-17.)

After the Rapture of God’s True Church, the seven-year Tribulation will commence on the earth when the unbelieving will be judged.  It will be a time of suffering and horror which, in the words of Jesus, “has not occurred since the beginning of the world, nor ever shall.” (Matthew 24:21)

After the seven years are completed, Jesus will return to earth to finalize His Victory over all evil.  He will then reign for a thousand years on the Throne of David after which He will create new heavens and a new earth where Righteousness will reign forever!
