L.A. Artis Ministries, Inc. is dedicated to proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world and operates under sound Biblical principles that are the basis for its existence. These principles are upheld in the following tenets of faith by which we live, preach, teach and minister the unadulterated gospel:

• We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, written by holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20 - 21 )
• We are committed to preserving the original holy and sacred  covenant of marriage that being the union of a MAN and a WOMAN in HOLY MATRIMONY.
• We believe in one God who is infinite in power - holy in nature, attributes and purposes, as well as omniscient and omnipresent. We believe that He was revealed to us as Father in creation, as Son in redemption, and as Holy Spirit in power and grace that never leaves those who trust in Him. (Genesis 1:1, Galatians 3:13, Romans 15:13, 19; Revelation 19:6)
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; and we believe in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. (I Corinthians 12:4 - 12)
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (I Corinthians 12:13)
• We believe that in Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, for it pleased the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell. (Colossians 2:9)
• We believe in the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that He ascended on high and sent His Holy Spirit which was poured out in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost 2000 or so years ago; and we believe that it is this same Spirit that is filling the hearts of those who diligently seek Him today. (Romans 6:3 - 10, I Corinthians 15:3 - 4, Acts 1:9, Joel 2:28 - 29)
• We believe in spiritual new birth (John 3:3 - 7) and in the baptism of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 3:11).
• We believe in the power of a holy and sanctified life and in divine healing and deliverance. (Leviticus 20:7, Luke 4:18)
• We believe in the glorious catching away ("the rapture") of the saints when Jesus returns in the clouds in glory to take His bride to dwell with Him forever. (II Thessalonians 4:16 - 17)
