Our Faith Statements
What We Believe
WE BELIEVE the Holy Bible to be the inspired, infallible, eternal Word of God and man's only guidebook for living. (II Peter 1:19-21, II Timothy 3:16, Revelation 22:18-19, Isaiah 40:8, Matthew 24:35).
WE BELIEVE God, to be eternally existent, as one God in three persons, God the Father, the Creator of all things, God the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. And God the Holy Ghost, We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent - attributes that are His alone. (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 3:16-17,1John 5:6-8, Luke 3:21-22).
WE BELIEVE that man is only redeemed by his faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ and his finished work at Calvary. (Ephesians 2:8, Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 1: 7, Hebrews 9:7,1 Peter 1:18-19, Hebrews 9:14, Acts 2:22-24, John 11:25,1 Corinthians 15:3-17).
WE BELIEVE in being baptized in the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking with tongues and other" signs" (Acts 2:4, Acts 10:46, Acts 19:6, Mark 16:16-18) and the "Fruit of the Spirit" (love, joy, peace, etc....Galatians 5:22-23, Matthew 7:20) which empowers one to walk in victory and experience the supernatural.
WE BELIEVE in divine healing (Isaiah 53:5, Psalm 103:3, Mark 16:18,1 Peter 2:24, James 5:16).
WE BELIEVE in water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12).
Statement Faith on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality
​
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen. 1:26-27) Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one biological man and one biological woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Gen. 2:18-25.) We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. (1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4) We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matt 15:18-20; 1 Cor 6:9-10.)
We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of ARON as the local Body of Christ, and to provide a biblical role model to the ARON members and the community, it is imperative that all persons employed by ARON in any capacity, or who serve as leaders, volunteers, agree to and abide by this Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality. (Matt. 5:16; Phil. 2:14-16; 1 Thess. 5:22)
We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21; Rom. 10:9-10; 1 Cor. 6:9-11)
We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31.) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of ARON Ministries.

Section Title
Belief and Code of Christian Conduct
Final Authority for Matters of Belief and Conduct The statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of ARON’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our minister/executive committee/board of directors is ARON Ministry’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.
