Word Of God

The Bible, consisting of the SIXTY-SIX BOOKS, is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to mankind, inerrant and infallible in the original writings, and they are the supreme and final authority for faith and practice. (Heb. 4: 12; II Pet. 1:20,21; II Tim. 3: 15-17)

Man. His Fall and Redemption

Man was created good and upright, for God said, “let Us make man in our image, after Our likeness”. But man fell by voluntary transgression and his only hope of redemption is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Gen. 1: 26-31; 3:1-7 and Rom. 5:12-21)

Baptism in Water

The ordinance of baptism should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures by all who have genuinely repented, and in their hearts have truly believed that they have died with Jesus, and that they have also been raised with Him, to walk in newness of life. It shall be by immersion, in the name of the Father, Son and

Holy Spirit (Matt. 22: 17-20; Acts 10:47; Rom 6:4)

The Promise of the Father

All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father – The Baptism of the Holy Spirit- according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit gives the power for life and service, and bestows the gifts for the edification of the Body of Christ. (Luke 24 :29; Acts 1 :8; I Cor. 12: 1-31). This wonderful experience is distinct from, and subsequent to, the experience of new birth. (Acts. 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9; 19:2)

Sanctification

The Scriptures teach a life of Holiness without which no man shall see God. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to obey the command, “Be ye holy, for I am Holy”. Sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to the Word of God. (Rom. 8:3,4; I Thess. 5:23,24; I Peter 1:15,16; I John 2:6; II Cor. 7:1)

Divine Healing

Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers. (Isa. 53:4; Matt. 8:16,17; Mark 16: 18-20; James 5: 14-16)

The Millennial Reign of Jesus

The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from Heaven, the salvation of all Israel, and the Millennial reign of Christ on the earth, is the scriptural promise, and the world’s hope. (Rom. 11:25-27; II Thess. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16; 20:1-.7)

One True God

The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally, self-existent, self-revealed “I AM” and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association of the Trinity as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Isa. 43:10,11; Matt. 3:16,17; 28: 19; Mark 12:29; John 14: 16, 17)

The Salvation of Mankind

Condition of Salvation: The grace of God, which brings Salvation, has appeared to all mankind through the preaching of repentance toward God, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ – His Life, Death, and Resurrection. Mankind is saved by the washing of The Blood, which brings regeneration and by the renewing of the mind through the Word of God; and being justified by grace through faith, he becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life. (Luke 24:47; Rom 10:13-15; Titus 2:11,3:5-7)

The Evidence of Salvation. The evidence of Salvation is to confess with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and Savior, and to live a consistent life of righteousness and true holiness. (Rom. 10:9; 6:22)

The Lord’s Table

The ordinance of the Lord’s Table, consisting of the elements of bread and the fruit of the vine, is a memorial of His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined on all believers “until He comes”. The Lord’s Table shall be observed regularly in the Church (Luke 22; 17-20; I Cor.10:16,17; 11:23-32)

The Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit

The infilling of the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and by the subsequent manifestation of Spiritual Gifts and Fruits in public testimony and service. (Acts. 1 :8; 2:4,42,43; 10:44-46)

The Church

The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God, through the Holy Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of His Great Commission. Each believer born of the Holy Spirit is an integral part of the Universal Body of Christ. (Eph. 1:22, 23; 2: 19-22; Heb. 12:23)

The Blessed Hope

The Pre- Millennial Second coming of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ, together with those who are alive in Christ, and remain unto the coming of the Lord, is imminent, and is the Blessed Hope of the Church. (Rom. 8:23; I Cor. 15: 51,52; I Thess. 4:16-18; Titus 2:13)

The Final Judgment

The devil and his angels, the beast, and the false prophet, and whosoever is not found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, shall be cast into everlasting punishment into the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Rev. 19:20; 20: 10-15)

The New Heaven and the New Earth

We, “according to His promise, look for a New Heaven and a New Earth, wherein dwells righteousness”. (II Peter 3: 13; Rev. 21: 1)
