Statement of Faith

For my Statement of Faith, I offer the historical Nicene Creed, adopted in the city of Nicaea by the First Council of Nicaea in 325 CE. I believe in the truth of its every word.

The Nicene Creed represents the core beliefs shared by Christians across centuries and traditions. By affirming this creed, I stand on the foundation of historic Christian orthodoxy while embracing the fullness of the Holy Spirit's work today.

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirit
He became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered death and was buried.

On the third day He rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son He is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. AMEN.

Understanding This Site's Theological Perspective

While the Nicene Creed establishes the foundational Christian beliefs I hold, I want to be transparent about the specific biblical perspective that shapes the content throughout the Kingdom Anointing site.

All articles are written from a Spirit-filled, non-denominational perspective — meaning I believe that the baptism with the Holy Spirit (as described in Acts 2) and all spiritual gifts described in Scripture, including speaking in tongues, continue today and remain available to all believers.

What I Believe Scripture Teaches

  • The Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God and the final authority for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21).
  • Salvation is a gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by works (Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 3:23–24).
  • Water baptism by immersion is an outward expression of inward faith and obedience to Christ's command (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3–4).
  • The baptism with the Holy Spirit is a distinct experience available to all believers (Acts 1:8; 2:1–4).
  • Speaking in tongues is a supernatural prayer language for personal edification (1 Corinthians 14:2–4).
  • All nine spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12, including tongues, remain active in the Church today (1 Corinthians 12:7–11).
  • All five ministry gifts remain active in the Church today (Ephesians 4:11–13).
  • These gifts are given by God's grace, not earned through human effort (1 Corinthians 12:11).
  • Jesus Christ will return visibly and gloriously to establish His Kingdom on earth and judge all nations (Matthew 24:30; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11–16).

What This Statement of Faith Means for You as a Reader

Now that you understand what I believe and teach, let me explain what this means for you as a reader of Kingdom Anointing.

For Cessationist Readers

If you come from a dispensationalist or cessationist background — believing the gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased with the apostles — you may disagree with my theological foundation. I respect your position and welcome you to read with discernment. My goal isn't to win a theological debate but to serve those who embrace, or are exploring, the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God.

For Spirit-Filled Believers

If you're already Spirit-filled and practice speaking in tongues, the articles on this site will help you maximize the faith-building potential of your spiritual gifts.

For Seekers and Explorers

If you're somewhere in between — curious, uncertain, or newly exploring — I pray this resource provides biblical clarity and practical guidance.

My Commitment to You

I do my best to ensure everything I teach is grounded in Scripture, presented with care, and offered in a spirit of humility. I don't claim to have all the answers (Philippians 3:12–16), but I'm passionate about helping believers grow in faith and draw closer to God and His Kingdom. This statement of faith serves as the theological foundation for all the teaching and resources you'll find here.

May the Holy Spirit guide you as you read, and may these articles bless you wherever you are on your spiritual journey.

Blessings,

Don Bell
