What We Believe
It is our goal at Citrus Park to worship God according to His Word, the Bible as set forth in the New Testament for the church. We welcome any opportunity to sit down with a bible and study with you.
What must I do to be saved?
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to
Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we
do?" Acts 2:37
Hear
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans
10:17
And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man
named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the
synagogue. Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the
Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing,
believed and were baptized. Acts 18:7,8
Believe
And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he
who does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:15,16
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, to those who believe in His name: John 1:12
Repent
I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
Luke 13:3
"Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also
your rulers. But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all
His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,
so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord Acts
3:17-19
Confess
But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your
heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that
God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart
one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation. Romans 10:8,9
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name
which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the
earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. Phillipians 2:9-11
Be Baptized
Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to
your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God
will call."And with many other words he testified and exhorted them,
saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation." Then those who gladly
received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand
souls were added to them. - Acts 2:38-41
"Then a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a
good testimony with all the Jews who dwelt there, came to me; and he
stood and said to me, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight.' And at that
same hour I looked up at him. Then he said, 'The God of our fathers has
chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and
hear the voice of His mouth. For you will be His witness to all men of
what you have seen and heard. And now why are you waiting? Arise and be
baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'
Acts 22:12-16
Live Faithfully
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of
my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished
the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the
crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give
to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved
His appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7,8
Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10.
