Statement of Faith
Indiana Canopy of Prayer believes the entire Word of GOD in the Bible including:
1. GOD (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) created the Heavens and the Earth in 6 days and rested on Shabbat, Genesis 1.
2. GOD created us male and female to be fruitful and multiply, plus have dominion, Genesis 1:27,28.
3. Marriage is between one man and one woman. What GOD has brought together let man not separate, Matthew 19:6.
4. GOD flooded the earth because there was so much sin. GOD renewed Covenant with Noah and after the flood, GOD gave Noah the rainbow as a sign He wouldn’t flood the Earth again, Genesis 6-9.
5. GOD made covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob giving them the Land of Israel forever.
6. On Pentecost GOD gave Moses the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai, Exodus 20.
7. Life begins at conception. We choose life, that we and our descendants live, love the LORD and listen to His voice, Deuteronomy 30:19-20.
8. Yeshua summed up the Ten Commandments in loving the LORD your GOD with all your heart, soul and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself, Matthew 22:34-40.
9. Yeshua is the Son of GOD and born to the Virgin Mary through Holy Spirit, Matthew 1 and Luke 1-2.
10. Yeshua is one with GOD, John 17:21. Yeshua is GOD, Phillipians 2:11.
11. Yeshua was crucified as the Passover Lamb, was resurrected on the third day as the Firstfruits of Resurrection, lives to make intercession for us and is returning to Jerusalem as our Conquering King, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and Ruler of the Earth.
12. Salvation is first for the Jew and then for the Gentile, Romans 1:16.
13. Upon His ascension, Yeshua left the five gifts of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher for the equipping of the Saints, Ephesians 4:11-13.
14. On Pentecost the LORD sent the Holy Spirit as a Counselor and a part of the Triune GOD. This is when the Baptism of the Holy Spirit manifested and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit began to manifest among the Sons and Daughters of GOD, Acts 2.
15. There are nine Gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12 and nine Fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5. Additionally, there are Redemptive Gifts from the Father in Romans 12.
We are indebted to the Jewish people and Grafted into the Family of GOD through faith in Yeshua. We have become One New Man and are considered Citizens of Spiritual Israel, Ephesians 2:11-22. If we confess with our mouth that Yeshua is LORD and believe in our heart that GOD raised Him from the dead, we are saved. For it is with our heart that we believe and are justified, and it is with our mouth that we confess and are saved, Romans 10:9,10.
