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, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine.
(2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1: 21)
Our God is One, but manifested in three persons - the Father; the Son, Jesus
Christ; and the Holy Spirit; being co-equal. (Philippians 2:6)
- God the Father is the sender of the Word and the Begetter
(John 14:28; John 16:28; John 1:14)
- The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten and has existed with the Father
from the beginning.
(John 1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14)
- The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from the Father and Son and is eternal. (John 15:26)
We affirm the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His
vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His Ascension to
the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of
God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world. “All have sinned and
come short of the glory of GOD.” “As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.” Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life and shed
His blood to redeem and restore man back to GOD. (Romans 5:14; Romans 3:10; Romans 3:23;
1 John 3:8)
Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the law, and is made operative by
grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God.
(Ephesians 2:8)
Man’s first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that worketh
repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced produces eternal
life.
(2 Corinthians 7:10; 1 John 5:12, John 3:3-5)
Baptism in water by immersion is a direct commandment of the Lord and is for
believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His
death, burial, and resurrection.
(Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12; Acts 8:36-39)
Communion, or partaking of the Lord’s Table, is a divinely instituted
ordinance. The bread and wine are symbolic of the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and
the ordinance is a memorial of His death for our redemption. “For as often as ye eat this bread
and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death til he come.” Believers are commanded to
participate in this ordinance after examining themselves.
(Matthew 26:26-29; Luke 22:19,29; 1
Corinthians 11:23-26)
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by Whose
indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We affirm the fullness of the Holy Spirit
as the empowerment of the Christian for witness and service. We believe that the Holy Spirit
provides one or more spiritual gifts to all believers, manifesting them as He wills. We believe
that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are operative today.
(Galatians 5:16-25; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11)
The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as
promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers and is received subsequent to the New Birth.
This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy
Spirit Himself gives utterance.
(Matthew 3:11; John 14:16; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38-39; Acts 19: 1-7; Acts 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 at Christ’s return.
We believe healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by
the power of God through the prayer of faith and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in
the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the Church today. We likewise
recognize the dimensions of God’s healing power for the whole person: spirit, soul, and body.
(Mark 16:18; James 5:14-25; 1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17; Isaiah 52:4-5)
The angels said to Jesus’ disciples, “This
same Jesus shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.” 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...” (Acts
1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). Following the Tribulation, Jesus shall return to earth as King of
kings, and the Lord of lords, and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He
shall reign a thousand years. (Revelation 20:6)
The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost, doomed to the Lake of Fire and therefore, has 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)
We affirm the one, universal Church which is the Body of Christ.
We affirm Christ as its Head. We believe all who are born again are its members (1 Corinthians 12:12-27).
The Church’s purpose is to offer worship to God, fellowship ministry, instruction to
itself, evangelism, and service to the world. We affirm the ministries set forth in Ephesians 4:11 and 1 Corinthians 12:28.
