Our Life Style Statement

What we practice

Beliefs are not worthy much unless they are translated into actions. Based on what the Bible teaches, we feel very strongly about the following seven practices:

Bible as our sole authority.

"The whole Bible was given us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us to do what is right." 2 Timothy 3:15

Since God's Word is the only completely reliable and truthful authority, we accept the Bible as our manual for living. Our first question when faced with a decision is "What does the Bible say?" We practice daily Bible reading, Bible study, and Bible memorization. The Bible is the basis for all we believe.

Autonomy of Each local church.

"Christ is the head of his Body, the church. He is the source of the Body's life..."     Col. 1:18 (GN)

Christ is the recognized head of our church, not any person, group, or religious organization. While recognizing the value of associating and cooperating with other groups of Christians, we believe every local church should be self-governing and independent from any denominational control In relating to "daughter churches" that we may sponsor, it will be our intent to encourage each congregation to determine it's own strategy, structure, and style.

Priesthood of every believer

"Christ loves us, and by his death he has freed us from our sins and made us a kingdom of priests to serve God." Rev. 1:6 (GN)

"You are ...the King's priests God's own people, chosen to proclaim the wonderful acts of God." 1 Peter 2:9 (GN)

The Bible teaches that every Christian is called to "full time" Christian service, regardless of his or her vocation. We practice the truth that every believer is a minister by encouraging every member to find a place of service an ministry. Every believer has direct access to God through prayer and Bible reading.

Tithing

"A tithe of everything you produce belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord."   Leviticus 26:30

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse that there may be food in my house. 'test me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it." Malachi 3:10

At Isaiah's Call we practice tithing for the support of Christ's Body, the church, as God commands. We recognize that giving 10% of our income is the Biblical standard of giving.

Immersion

"For when you were baptized, you were buried with Christ, and in baptism you were also raised. with Christ..." Colossians 2:12 (GN)

We practice baptism by immersion under water - the way Jesus was baptized, and the way the Bible commands.

Spirit-led living

(Jesus said) "I am the Vine, you are the branches. If you abide in my and I in you, you will bear much fruit; but apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5

Telling others about Christ

"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." 1 Peter 3:15

It is the responsibility of every Christian to share the Good News with those God bring sun into contact with. We practice personal sharing about Christ and inviting friends to church.
