About 9th Street Church of Christ
We believe in the true God existing in three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
We believe in assembling upon the first day of the week.
“On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.” -Acts 20:7 NASB
Praying:
“What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.” - 1 Corinthians 14:15 NASB
Singing:
“Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” - Colossians 3:16
Observing the Lord’s supper:
"and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes." -1 Corinthians 11:24-26 NASB
We believe Baptism is for the remission of sins:
"He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." - Mark 16: 15&16 NASB
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38 NASB
We Believe in the Holy Spirit as the indwelling presence of God received by all Christians upon Baptism:
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38 NASB
"And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.” -Acts 5:32 NASB
We Believe salvation is a free gift of God’s grace:
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." -Ephesians 2:8-10 NASB
We Believe the Lord builT His Church:
"I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it." Matthew 16:18
