What Do we believe?

The Well Scottsboro is a full Gospel church. We believe in the Scriptures found in The Holy Bible in its entirety. See the column to learn about some of our core beliefs and foundational truths we strive to uphold in our church community.

    • We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a literal one and is the result of being born of the Spirit of God.
      (Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20; John 3:5–7)

    • We believe that it is the will of God that we live a sanctified and holy life, growing constantly in the faith.
      (Hebrews 6:1)

  • THE FALL OF MAN

    • We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection.
      (Romans 5:12)

    REPENTANCE & ACCEPTANCE

    • We believe that upon sincere repentance and a wholehearted acceptance of Christ as Lord, we are justified before God.
      (1 John 1:9)

    BASIS OF SALVATION

    • We believe that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us signing the pardon of all who believe on Him and confess Jesus Christ as their Lord.
      (John 3:16; Romans 5:8; 10:9–10)

    SALVATION THROUGH GRACE

    • We believe that before salvation we have no righteousness of our own and must come to God through the righteousness of Christ.
      (Ephesians 2:8)

    • We believe that baptism by immersion, in water, is an outward sign of the inward work of salvation.
      (Matthew 28:19)

    • We believe in the commemoration of the Lord’s supper by the symbolical use of the bread and the juice of the vine.
      (1 Corinthians 11:28)

  • We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, irrevocable and complete Word of God.
    (2 Timothy 3:16–17)

    • We believe God is triune: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the three in one.
      (1 John 5:7)

  • BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

    • We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power, and that His empowering is after the same manner as in biblical days.
      (Acts 1:8; 2:4)

    THE GIFTS & THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

    • We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life.
      (1 Corinthians 12:1–11; Galatians 5:22–23; Romans 12:6–8; Ephesians 4:11–13)

    THE SPIRIT FILLED LIFE

    • We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit continually.
      (Ephesians 4:30–32)

    • We believe that divine healing is the provision of Christ to heal the sick in response to the exercise of faith, the prayer of faith, the prayer of agreement, anointing with oil, the gifts of healing or the laying on of hands. We believe that this provision of Christ is for everyone today.
      (1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17; 18:18–19; James 5:14–16; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Mark 16:15–18; Matthew 24:25; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33)

    • Marriage is the first institution created by God. He declared that “a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh”. (Genesis 2:23)

    • This shows that God’s design for marriage is between one man and one woman. This divine design is confirmed throughout the holy scriptures. (Matthew 19:5–6; Mark 10:8; Ephesians 5:31)

    • Marriage is a covenant made between a man and a woman before God and this is the only marriage approved and acceptable to God and the church. (Genesis 2:23)

    • We believe that all truth must be balanced with other scriptural truth in order to avoid any extreme or fanaticism, and we believe that moderation should show forth in our daily walk as a believer.
      (Philippians 4:5)

    • We believe it is our sacred duty to identify and actively participate with the local and visible Church of Christ.
      (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:5)

    • We believe that the laws of the land should be upheld at all times except in matters opposed to the Word of God.
      (Romans 13:1–5)

    • We believe that soul-winning is the great commission given to the church.
      (James 5:20; Mark 16:15; 2 Corinthians 5:18–21)

    • We believe that the second coming of Christ is literal and inevitable.
      (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17)

  • THE FINAL JUDGEMENT

    • We believe that all shall stand one day before God in final judgment, and there receive eternal reward or eternal judgment.
      (2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelations 20:11–13)

    HEAVEN

    • We believe that heaven is a literal place, eternally existent.
      (John 14:2; Revelations 7:15–17)

    HELL

    • We believe that hell is a literal place of eternal torment for all who reject the Lord Jesus.
      (Revelations 20:10, 15)
