A step-by-step guide through the foundational doctrines every believer should know and experience at DLBC Knox.
Not every step waits its turn. Some are received together in a single moment; others are lived out over a lifetime.
Scripture gives these a spiritual order, but to the eye they can happen at once — one visit to the altar, one afternoon at the water. Do not wait for one to finish before seeking the next.
A complete turning away from all sin and its deceitful pleasures. This is the essential first step toward genuine saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
An essential step of obedience after repentance and faith, administered by a single immersion in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
A definite work of God's grace received after the new birth, in which the believer's heart is purified and made holy through faith in Christ's blood.
The enduement of power given to sanctified believers, accompanied by speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
Ongoing, repeated, returned to — the ordinary rhythms of a believer's life together with the church.
Believers regularly partake of unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine to commemorate the death of Christ and proclaim His sacrifice until He returns.
Walking daily in obedience to God's Word, bearing the fruit of the Spirit, and living a life that glorifies the Lord in all things.
Christ's sacrificial death provides not only redemption from sin but also healing from sickness and disease. Divine health is available to all who believe.
The one step that is not ours to take — it is promised, and it is coming.
The living saints and all believers who have died in Christ will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air — the glorious hope of the Church.
Whether you are taking your very first step of faith or seeking deeper understanding, we would love to walk with you. Join us this Sunday.
