Fire & Grace Church

Opelika, AL

An Opelika congregation led by Pastor Dean Odle with an extensive official sermon archive and direct evidence for every Church Finder doctrinal gate.

STATEMENT OF FAITH SUMMARY

What this congregation teaches

Fire & Grace teaches one true God, Jesus Christ as God manifested in flesh and the fulness of the Godhead, salvation through genuine repentance and faith with regeneration by the Holy Spirit, believer immersion after salvation, subsequent Spirit baptism with tongues as its initial sign, and the possibility of final apostasy. An eight-sermon review confirmed that the church's Godhead terminology does not mean three separate gods and that Spirit baptism is not a condition of initial salvation.

Godhead

The church teaches one God and Jesus Christ as God manifested in flesh; Pastor Odle rejects three separate divine individuals and teaches the fulness of the Godhead in Christ.

New birth

Salvation comes through repentant faith and Spirit regeneration; water baptism follows salvation, while Spirit baptism is a subsequent work with tongues as the initial sign.

Scripture

The Bible is described as the inspired and only infallible Word of God.

Perseverance

The ministry explicitly rejects unconditional eternal security and teaches endurance in faith.
