Damascus Road Shield of Faith 

Our Faith

There is ONE true God in heaven and earth, who has chosen to reveal Himself through His Word

and Love toward His creation. Jesus is that One true God who came, manifest in flesh, to

purchase the salvation of all mankind. His shed blood was freely given that we might be

justified by His act of righteousness and not our own, and there is no other Name under

heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. It is clearly stated in the inherent Word

of God, the Bible that except a man is born again of water and Spirit he cannot see the Kingdom

of Heaven. The Bible is clear concerning the plan of salvation: that all men are to have faith

in Jesus Christ, repent (turn from one’s sinful life, desiring change) and be baptized in Jesus’

name for the remission of sins. They are to receive, without exception, the gift of the Holy Ghost

which is clearly seen in Scripture to have been evidenced by the speaking of other tongues

as the Spirit of God gave the utterance.

 

We believe in a literal heaven that will be the rest and reward for the obedient and faithful and a

literal hell that will be the eternal state of the devil, the fallen angels and the disobedient

and wicked.

The Vision

To build a body of believers who through a firm grasp of the Word of God and insight into

the vision and burden of our Lord, penetrate and saturate our city with the Good News, while

attaining spiritual health and growth, not only in one mother church, but in several works

throughout the local region until Christ returns.
