Beliefs
What NewEarthCore Ministries believes.
NECM seeks to be in harmony with the Statement of Beliefs of Church of God Independent Ministries (Medina, Ohio), while expressing those beliefs in a way that highlights the hope of the New Heaven and New Earth.
1. God the Father
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. He is holy, just, and full of mercy. From before the foundation of the world He has had a plan to redeem and restore His creation through Jesus Christ.
2. Jesus Christ the Son
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return in glory to judge and to reign.
3. The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and of Jesus Christ, enabling Them to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, bringing people to new birth, and allowing the Father and Jesus to dwell in the believer to empower them for holy living, service, and witness.
4. God's plan and our focus
We believe that everyone's ultimate focus should be on God the Father's plan and His end game: the New Heaven and New Earth, and a time when the many billions of individuals who have been conceived throughout human history will finally have the opportunity to become true children of God, standing before Him on the sea of glass, singing a new song to God the Father and Jesus Christ.
We believe that every follower of Christ should make the Father's goal their number one goal and regularly examine their own hearts, desires, and plans to be sure they are in line with His.
5. Salvation by grace through faith
We believe that salvation is a gift of God's grace, received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone. No one can earn forgiveness or eternal life; it is granted to those who trust in Christ and His finished work.
6. Baptism and the Holy Spirit
We believe that when a believer accepts the sacrifice of Jesus as payment for their own sins, they should be baptized by immersion in water and receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands. This allows the believer's spirit to dwell with the Spirit of the Father and of Jesus Christ.
7. Repentance and transformation
We believe that repentance is an ongoing way of life. As a believer actively seeks God's will—inviting the Father and Jesus Christ to live in them and through them and to teach them to live God's way—repentance and transformation become a continual process.
8. The Scriptures
We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, trustworthy and authoritative in all it teaches. It reveals God's character, His plan for humanity, and the way of salvation.
9. The Church
We believe that all who are in Christ are part of His Body, the Church—God's called-out ones. God calls His people to gather, to worship, to grow in maturity, to practice love and forgiveness, and to serve together in His mission.
10. Christian living
We believe that followers of Jesus are called to live lives of holiness, humility, and love—seeking to obey God, to serve others, and to reflect Christ's character in every area of life. This includes using our gifts, time, and resources for His purposes.
11. The hope of a new heaven and new earth
We believe that Jesus will return and that God will bring about a renewed heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells. This hope shapes how we live now. NewEarthCore Ministries takes its name from this promise and seeks to help others live with that eternal perspective.
12. Invitation
Everything NECM does—whether through music, video, or prototypes—is an invitation to know Jesus more deeply, to trust His sacrifice, and to walk in step with the Father's plan. If you have questions about any of these beliefs, we welcome you to reach out.
