The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, is what we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine.
(1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)
It is the testimony of both the Old and New Testaments and of the Christian Church that God is both One and Triune. The biblical revelation testifies that there is only one God and that He is eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(1 John 5:7, John 1:14, 14:28, 15:26, 16:28)
Man is a created being, made in the likeness and the image of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10) Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and to give His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God. Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the Law, which is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God.
(1 John 3:8, Ephesians 2:8)
Man’s first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that leads to repentance. The new birth is necessary to all men, and when fulfilled, it produces eternal life.
(John 3:3-5, 2 Corinthians 7:10, 1 John 5:12)
Baptism in water by immersion is a direct commandment of our Lord and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. The following recommendation regarding the water baptism is adopted: “On the confession of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by His authority, I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
(Matthew 28:19, Acts 8:36-39, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12)
When we receive Christ we receive the Holy Spirit, but there is an ongoing work of the Spirit in the day to day living of a believers life. Paul said to keep being filled with the Spirit. He also said that his preaching was not with wise words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power. Jesus did nothing apart from the Holy Spirit. Our understanding of the Spirit either propels us or lack of understanding inhibits us from going richer, deeper, and greater in our relationship with Him. It is important that we learn to keep in step with the Holy Spirit everyday of our lives. As we keep in step with the Spirit, we participate and live life seeing natural needs met in supernatural ways just as Jesus and the disciples did.
(Ephesians 5:18, Matthew 3:11 John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, 2:4, 2:38-39, 19:1-7, 1 Corinthians 2:4)
The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation.
(Hebrews 12:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Peter 3:18, 1 Corinthians 1:30, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Philippians 3:12-14)
Healing is for the physical ills of the human body. It is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith and by the laying on of hands. Healing played an important role in the life of Jesus and His disciples. Jesus sent 72 of His disciples out and told them to heal the sick and tell the people the Kingdom of Heaven has come near you. We believe that is still possible today.
(Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:17, Mark 16:18, James 5:14-16, 1 Peter 2:24)
The angels said, “This same Jesus…shall so come in like manner…” (Acts 1:11) His coming is imminent. When he comes, “…the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air…” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) Follow the tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Then, together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign for a thousand years.
(Revelation 20:6)
The one who physically dies in his sins without Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the Lake of Fire; consequently, there is no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. The Lake of Fire is literal. The terms “eternal” and “everlasting” used in describing the duration of the punishment of the damned in the Lake of Fire carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of saints in the presence of God.
(Hebrews 9:27, Revelation 19:20)
