Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible is the only infallible and God-breathed written testimony of God, accurately recorded as originally given (both Old and New Testaments). It is the complete record of His will for salvation. Scripture is written to reveal Christ, who is the Word made flesh (John 1:1, 14). The Word of God is the person of Jesus Christ; the Bible is the authoritative, God-breathed record through which He is known. The canon of Scripture is complete and sufficient. The Holy Spirit continues to speak, lead, and distribute gifts as He wills (1 Corinthians 12:11), always within and never beyond the bounds of the written Word. The Holy Spirit progressively illuminates what Scripture has already revealed, leading believers deeper into truth already given, never beyond it.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 AMP; John 1:1, 14 AMP; Hebrews 1:1-2 AMP; Hebrews 4:12 AMP; 1 Corinthians 12:11 AMP; Psalm 119:105 AMP

We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who eternally exists as three distinct, co-eternal, and co-equal Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct persons who exist simultaneously and eternally, one in essence and purpose: to bring us into sonship.

Matthew 28:19 NKJV; 2 Corinthians 13:14 AMP; John 14:16-17, 26 AMP; John 15:26 AMP; Ephesians 1:3-14 AMP

We believe in the deity and full humanity of Jesus Christ (fully God, fully man), His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary death on a cross as the Perfect Sacrifice, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal, ultimate return at the end of the age.

John 1:1, 14 AMP; Colossians 1:15-20 AMP; Hebrews 1:3 AMP; Philippians 2:5-11 AMP; 1 Timothy 2:5 AMP

We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and was raised from the dead, offering us eternal life. Eternal life is not merely endless existence; it is intimate, experiential knowledge of the Father and the Son. God Himself is our exceedingly great reward.

John 3:16 AMP; Romans 5:1 AMP; Romans 8:1 AMP; Ephesians 2:8-9 AMP; Galatians 4:4-7 AMP; John 6:29 AMP; John 17:3 AMP

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who is the Person of Grace, eternally indwelling all believers. The Holy Spirit is the seal and guarantee of our inheritance and God's ownership (Ephesians 1:13-14). Once sealed, you cannot be unsealed. The Holy Spirit establishes Christ's nature in us, empowers our lives and ministry through gifts and fruit, and produces the fruit of God's nature: righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, which is the Kingdom of God. Adhering to the Holy Spirit's leadership is obligatory for sons of God.

John 14:16-17 AMP; Romans 8:9-11 AMP; Ephesians 1:13-14 AMP; Galatians 5:22-23 AMP; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 AMP

We believe the church is the body of Christ, composed of all believers across every nation, tribe, tongue, and generation. The church is the living, breathing body of Christ on the earth, expressed wherever believers gather in His name.

Ephesians 4:11-16 AMP; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 AMP; Acts 2:42-47 NLT; Matthew 18:20 NKJV

We affirm women as sons of God with full inheritance rights. S.I.S (She Is Son) is a conviction rooted in Galatians 3:28 and the ancient legal meaning of sonship as inheritance rights. Women teach, lead, serve, and carry authority at T.S.P because inheritance in Christ is not gendered. This conviction holds across every cultural context because it is rooted in Scripture.

Galatians 3:28 AMP; Galatians 4:6-7 AMP; Romans 16:1-16 AMP; Acts 2:17-18 CJB

We believe man was created by and for God, made in the image and likeness of Christ (the image of God). Man was created for oneness and dominion: relationship with God and authority over creation.

Genesis 1:26-28 AMP; Romans 5:12 AMP; Romans 3:23 AMP; Ephesians 2:1-3 AMP; Colossians 1:15 AMP

Sanctification is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. It is progressive revelation, not progressive earning. The believer does not become more saved over time or more righteous through good behavior. In Christ, they already are. Sanctification is the Holy Spirit progressively revealing to the believer what has always been true about them in Christ. The journey includes struggle. The mature son is not defined by the absence of difficulty but by the refusal to walk through it alone or in hiding. Holiness is a set-apart state that the Holy Spirit produces in the believer from the moment they come to believe. The nature of holiness is produced at the point of belief, but the fruit of holiness unfolds progressively as the believer's new nature conforms their living.

2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP; Philippians 1:6 AMP; 2 Peter 3:18 AMP; Galatians 5:22-23 AMP; 1 Thessalonians 5:23 AMP

We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, which is the cornerstone of our faith and the guarantee of our own resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:17-20). Because He lives, we live also.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 17-20, 42-44 AMP; Romans 8:11 AMP; Philippians 3:20-21 AMP; John 11:25-26 AMP

We pray as sons from our seated position in Christ (Ephesians 2:6). Prayer is not information transfer to God. It is relational communion with the Father through the Son by the Holy Spirit. Prayer aligns us with what God wills, attunes us to what God’s heart is, and assigns us with what God proposes. We pray from victory, not for victory. T.S.P’s prayer life rests on four postures: Declaration (speaking from the victory already won), Agreement (participating in the Triune conversation), Authority (operating from the seated position), and Lament (bringing grief, confusion, and unresolved pain before God as a legitimate and necessary act of faith).

Ephesians 2:6 AMP; Romans 8:26-27 AMP; Matthew 6:9-13 AMP; Philippians 4:6-7 AMP; 1 Timothy 2:1, 5 AMP; Hebrews 7:25 AMP; Psalm 13 AMP; Psalm 22 AMP

The strongholds are arguments, imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). The weapon is truth. The battlefield is the mind. The victory is already secured: Christ has triumphed over principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them (Colossians 2:15). The Holy Spirit enforces that victory by working out Christ in the believer. T.S.P rests in the finished work and dismantles every argument that contradicts it. The teaching itself is the warfare. The full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) is not equipment we pick up separate from Christ. It is Christ Himself whom we put on (Romans 13:14). To put on the armor is to put on Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 AMP; Colossians 2:15 NKJV; Ephesians 6:10-18 AMP; Romans 13:14 AMP; John 8:32 ESV

We believe marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, established by God as the primary place for spiritual nurture, growth, and the reflection of Christ’s relationship to His Church (Ephesians 5:21-33). Marriage is not merely a social contract; it is a covenant that reflects the gospel itself: sacrificial love, faithful commitment, and mutual submission.

Ephesians 5:21-33 AMP; Genesis 2:24 AMP; Galatians 3:28 AMP; 1 Peter 3:1-7 AMP; Psalm 127:1-2 AMP

T.S.P holds that the substance of baptism and communion is the believer’s union with Christ, which the physical elements point to. Baptism is identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:3-4). Communion is the ongoing remembrance and participation in the body and blood of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

Romans 6:3-4 AMP; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 AMP; Colossians 2:11-12 AMP; John 6:53-58 AMP

Giving is Holy Spirit led, joyful, and voluntary. T.S.P teaches that the ceremonial tithing system of the Old Covenant has been fulfilled in Christ. Believers give generously from the nature of God’s love, as led by the Holy Spirit, not from legal obligation, manipulation, or transactional expectation.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8 AMP; Acts 20:35 AMP; Matthew 10:8 NKJV

We believe in the visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the eternal state. We affirm that penal judgment for the believer occurred at the cross. Our sin was judged in Christ; therefore, we do not face condemnation. However, we live with the knowledge that we will give an account of our stewardship at the Judgment Seat of Christ. We also affirm that our heavenly reality is simultaneous; we are seated in heavenly places now in Christ, not just in the future. We hold these convictions with hope, not speculation, and prioritize the present reality of life in Christ while awaiting the fullness of what is to come.

Acts 1:11 AMP; 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 AMP; 2 Corinthians 5:10 AMP; Revelation 21:1-5 AMP; Romans 8:1 AMP; Ephesians 2:6 AMP

T.S.P does not currently practice water baptism or physical communion (bread and wine). This is because we understand these practices through the lens of Christ’s finished work, which reveals them as spiritual realities, not physical rituals. Baptism is immersion into Sonship, into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, a spiritual reality received the moment one believes. Communion happens by belief: faith is union with Christ Himself, and the covenant is accessed through faith, not through physical bread and wine. We do not condemn those who observe them. Our conviction is a reflection of how we understand Christ’s finished work, not a correction of others.

We believe the Holy Spirit leads us into moral life that flows from identity, not obligation. This is not morality imposed from without but morality produced from within by the indwelling Holy Spirit, always consistent with the written Word. We do not keep the Law to gain life; we have received Life to live out the Law’s intent, which is Love.

T.S.P holds that fasting, like the ceremonial practices of the Old Covenant, has been fulfilled in Christ. The finished work accomplished what fasting pointed to. T.S.P does not practice fasting as a spiritual discipline. This is not a judgment on traditions that do; it is a conviction rooted in how we understand Christ’s fulfillment of the Law.

T.S.P teaches that the ministry described in Ephesians 4:11-13 is one ministry, Christ’s own, expressed in different ways as the body requires. It is not five separate offices forming a hierarchy. Every believer is called to the work of ministry through the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9). Ministry functions flow from Christ and are distributed by the Holy Spirit for equipping, building up, and bringing the body to maturity, not for establishing rank, title, or dependency on human leaders.

The work of the believer is simply to believe in the one whom God sent (John 6:29). We live from a position of rest, ceasing striving for acceptance. The Holy Spirit produces holiness in us from the moment of belief, and the fruit of that holiness unfolds progressively as our new nature conforms our living. We fight from the victory already won. We encourage Holy Spirit led giving (from abundance, not obligation) and serving from rest (working from approval, not for approval). We are called to live as Christ is (1 John 4:17) and embody the Gospel in all interactions. How you treat the cashier at the store is as much a witness as what you say on Sunday.
