Harvest Time Church (HTC) Frequently Asked Questions:
What does HTC believe?
We believe that:
1. The Holy Bible is the inspired, inerrant and only infallible Word of God. (II Tim 3:16; II Peter
1:21)
2. There is one God, eternally existent and manifested in three persons; co-equal in power and
purpose: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (I John 5:7; Luke 3:22; I Tim
1:17)
3. Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the
Virgin Mary. Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. He ascended to heaven and
is today at the right hand of the Father as intercessor. (Luke 3:22; Matt 1:20, 23; John 19:18, 4142; Matt 28:6, Heb 4:14, 7:25)
4. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The only means of being cleansed from sin
is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:23; Acts 4:12;
John 14:6; Heb 9:22)
5. Sanctification is subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, through
the Word, and by the Holy Ghost. (Heb 13:12; I Cor 6:11; John 17:17; Eph 5:26)
6. Holiness is God’s standard of living for His people. (Heb 12:14; Romans 6:22; I Thess 4:7)
7. The Baptism of the Holy Ghost, according to Acts 2:4, is essential to Christian living and is given
to all believers who ask for it. (Acts 2:4, 38-39; Luke 11: 9-13)
8. Water Baptism by immersion is for all believers. It is a testimony of association with the death,
burial, and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. (Romans 6:3-4; Col 3:1)
9. The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body in answer to
believing prayer. (Is 53:5; I Peter 2:24; John 16:23)
10. There will be a resurrection of the dead to either eternal life with Jesus for the saved, or eternal
damnation in hell for the unbelieving lost. (Rev 21:7-8; I Thess 4:16-17; Matt 13:30, 40-43)\
