HYDERABAD CHRISTIAN CENTER

What We Believe

There are three primary experiences of the Christian life: Salvation, Water Baptism, and Holy Spirit Baptism

1. Salvation

Salvation is initiated by a prayer of faith in Jesus

Salvation is completed by God's grace

Salvation is maintained by a lifestyle of Biblical righteousness

Salvation is demonstrated by works

Salvation is lost when we sin and do not repent

Salvation is necessary to enter Heaven in eternity

2. Water Baptism

Water Baptism was exemplified by Christ

Water Baptism is not necessary for salvation, but it's an important experience that shouldn't be neglected

Water Baptism is a public demonstration of faith in Jesus Christ

Water Baptism is executed in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost

3. Holy Spirit Baptism

Holy Spirit Baptism is evidenced by speaking in tongues. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:45–46)

Holy Spirit Baptism is an experience different and distinct from Salvation or Water Baptism. (Acts 1:5; Acts 10:44)
