OUR VISION:
Pillars of Faith Tabernacle is a God ordained ministry that is called to teach, equip, train, raise up, and commission leaders in the body for the working of the ministry and the edification of the body. These leaders walk strong in the Lord. And, in the power of His might, under the anointing of God, will go into their marketplace fulfilling their calling as ministers of reconciliation.
Our goal is for every believer to have these signs following them: casting out devils, speaking with new tongues, laying hands on the sick, and recovering (according to Mark 16:17.)
Every believer will walk in the fulfillment of the same anointing that Jesus, the head of the Body, has: preaching the gospel to the poor, healing the broken hearted, bringing deliverance to the captives, recovering the sight to the blind, bringing liberty to all those who are oppressed, and proclaiming that this is the acceptable year of the Lord (according to Luke 4:18-19.)
This will be accomplished through evangelism. We will have home groups throughout Queens stretching into Brooklyn and Nassau County. The Victorious Overcomers will disciple those who will be set free from drugs and alcohol. We will grow in our missionary efforts reaching the nations, whether here on the streets of New York, or overseas. We will go into all the world preaching the Gospel to every creature, to the Jew first and also the gentile according to Mark 16:15 and Romans 2:10.
We will reach the youth of this land and have a thriving youth ministry, teaching young men and woman how to reach their potential in Christ without losing their relevance. We will disciple and train them to reach their generation with the Gospel, as well as signs and wonders.
Each home represented will operate in the demonstration of God’s love and power and will be houses of victorious testimony! Every husband will take his rightful place of authority as the king priest and the prophet in his family.
Pillars of Faith Tabernacle will be a sanctuary of worship, prayer and celebration! It will be a place where the Glory of God will fall. We will have healing and deliverance services where the community or home group leaders will bring those who are in need.
This will be done as every believer becomes a person of prayer. There will be teaching and training on how to pray. Once we learn how to pray, we will then pray without ceasing. We will agree to come into humility as one body in corporate prayer so God can hear from heaven and heal our land according to 1 Thessalonians. 5:17, 2 Chronicles 7:14.
WE BELIEVE:
- The Bible, which is made up of both the Old and New Testaments, to be the divinely inspired Word of God. As such, we accept the scriptures as the revelation of God Himself and His redemptive plan for mankind. We further accept the Bible as our final authority for faith and doctrine.
- There is one personal God, eternally existent in three distinct persons as revealed in the Scriptures and in Creation: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
- In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father.
- In the rapture, the blessed hope, the "catching away" of the Church, as well as the future return of Jesus Christ to this earth to rule and reign for a thousand years after the 7 year tribulation’s completion. (By "church" we mean all Born-Again believers everywhere throughout the entire world.)
- All men (male and female) were created in the image and likeness of God. But, in his natural, unregenerate state, man is fallen, depraved being separated from God forever through Adam's transgression in the Garden of Eden. Furthermore, man is incapable of altering this condition of his own will or ability and is therefore doomed to an eternal state totally separated from God (A state which the Scriptures refer to as "lost" or "damned".)
- The personal regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to salvation. This experience, which the Bible refers to as the New Birth, is an experience of Grace, through Faith freely performed by the Holy Spirit to as many that believe and accept Jesus Christ as Savior and follow Him as Lord.
- The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of our spirits, minds and bodies in answer to believing prayer. Furthermore, since we understand the source of illness to be not only organic, but spiritual (demonic) as well, we believe that every believer had the authority according to the Scriptures, in Jesus' name, to rebuke and cast out the spirit (demon) causing the condition as discerned by the believer through the Holy Spirit.
- The baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to every believer who asks for it. This baptism of power is evidence by speaking in an unlearned language (tongues) according to the experiences recorded in Scripture by the Samaritan, and Ephesian believers, as well as, the believers in the upper room and those of Cornelius' household.
- In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life. This is a progressive work of the Spirit in the believer, ultimately leading to a state of sinless perfection in Heaven.
