What We Believe
We believe the Bible is the infallible and inspired Word of God, written by men under the guidance/inspiration of the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21). It is the ultimate truth. It serves as our foundation for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
We believe in God’s Triune nature, comprising three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. Each person of the Godhead plays a unique role, yet they are one in essence. Just as humans are spirit, soul, and body, reflecting God’s image, so is God one being with three distinct expressions. An analogy is water, which exists as liquid, solid, and gas—different forms yet the same substance.
Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived by the Virgin Mary, crucified, buried, resurrected, and now intercedes at the Father’s right hand (Luke 1:26-33; Hebrews 7:25). We are justified by faith in Christ and repentance from sin, made righteous through His blood (Acts 13:38-39; Romans 5:1; 1 Corinthians 6:11; Mark 1:5)(Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9-10; John 14:6).
We believe in the transforming power of Jesus Christ for all who give their lives to Him, making them new creations, free from their old, sinful lives (2 Corinthians 5:17). We also believe that one must be born again to spend eternity with Jesus. Those who reject Him will face eternal separation, while those who die in Christ will share in His glory in heaven (Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46; John 5:29; Jude 1:7).
exalted by God with authority over all creation—on Earth, in heaven, and under the Earth. Every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-10).
The Holy Spirit, God’s presence with us on Earth, is our leader, guide, and teacher. He communicates God’s active Word to our spirit, inspiring, comforting, and directing us daily according to the Father’s will (Matthew 4:4; Romans 10:17)(Ephesians 2:18).
following His command in Matthew 28:19-20 and Acts 2:38. Jesus taught that we must be born again through water and the Spirit, and Acts 22:16 urges us to be baptized without delay.
as instituted by Jesus Christ to remember His sacrifice and symbolize the new covenant. The bread and wine (or juice) represent Christ’s broken body and shed blood. Communion is not a means of salvation but a testament to a believer’s faith in His atoning work on the cross. Holy Communion is also a lifestyle for Christians, as Jesus instructed us to do this often (Luke 22:19). In the early Church, believers would gather to partake in Communion together, reflecting their shared faith and fellowship (Acts 2:42).
We also believe in the fellowshipping of the saints. Early Christians met daily to break bread and fellowship, emphasizing the importance of gathering together (Acts 2:46-47). The Bible encourages believers not to forsake the assembling of themselves together but to encourage one another (Hebrews 10:24-25).
Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to believers (John 7:39) and baptizes us with the Spirit (Mark 1:8), sealing our salvation (Ephesians 1:13). He also baptizes us with fire, as John the Baptist foretold (Matthew 3:11; Luke 3:16), and this was manifested in Acts 2:3. The initial evidence of the Holy Spirit’s baptism is speaking in tongues (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6), and we embrace the operation of the nine gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) and those listed in Romans 12:6-8.
a gift from Jesus to His Church to equip and perfect the saints for service and to build up the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-12).
Jesus instructed His disciples to “go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature,” continuing His work and expanding the Kingdom of God on Earth (Mark 16:15).
to expand the Kingdom of God on Earth. As Jesus instructed in Matthew 28:19, we are to make disciples and teach them His commandments, continuing this mission to ensure the advancement of God’s kingdom on Earth.
According to Acts 1:8, the Holy Spirit and Fire empower us to perform these acts and be witnesses for Jesus. At Zion Generation Ministries, we affirm that physical healing through prayer, anointing and laying on of hands, casting out demons, and witnessing miracles and wonders remain active as our Heavenly Father wills (Acts 1:8).
We believe in the sacredness of marriage between one man and one woman and uphold strong Christian family values (Ephesians 5:31-33; Ephesians 6:1-4; Hebrews 13:4; Matthew 19:5; Genesis 2:24). We affirm godly family commitment and integrity (Leviticus 18:22).
Tithing is a biblical principle that contributes to the service of God’s Kingdom (Malachi 3:10). Generosity is encouraged to support ministry and aid those in need (2 Corinthians 9:7; Philippians 4:15-16). We are called to give willingly and joyfully to further God’s work (1 Corinthians 16:2; Acts 20:35).
Jesus has promised to return and receive us to Himself, having prepared a heavenly home for us (John 14:2-3). As believers, we look forward to our eternal reward, being with Jesus in the home He has prepared for us (Acts 1:10-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 1:7).
