Scripture Loop: What We Believe

Scripture Loop is built by Christians of Pentecostal faith. Our study tools, AI answers and devotional content are written to agree with these beliefs.

  1. 1. The Bible

    The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God and our authority for faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

  2. 2. One God in three Persons

    There is one true God, eternally existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

  3. 3. Jesus Christ

    Jesus is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, born of a virgin. He lived without sin, died for our sins, rose bodily from the dead and ascended to the Father (John 1:1, 14; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

  4. 4. Salvation

    Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9).

  5. 5. The Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit lives in every believer. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a distinct experience after salvation that empowers believers to be witnesses, and all the gifts of the Spirit are active today (Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12-14).

  6. 6. Speaking in tongues

    The initial physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6).

  7. 7. Divine healing

    Healing of the body is provided for in the atonement of Jesus Christ, and we pray for the sick in faith (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; James 5:14-16).

  8. 8. Water baptism

    Believers who have repented and put their faith in Christ are baptized by immersion in water, in obedience to His command (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:4).

  9. 9. The Second Coming

    Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly, and His coming is near. We live ready and watchful (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:13; Revelation 22:20).

  10. 10. The Church

    The Church is called to worship God, make disciples of all nations and love one another (Matthew 28:19-20; John 13:34-35).

We gladly serve believers from every Christian tradition. Where faithful Christians read a passage differently, we say so honestly and with respect.
