We Believe...

 

THE SCRIPTURES - 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 Tim. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21)

 

THE GODHEAD - Our God is one, but manifest in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Phil. 2:6; Matt. 3:16, 17) God the Father is greater than all; the source of the Word (logos) and the Begatter (John 16:28; John 10:30) Jesus is the sone of God, One with the Father, the Word flesh-covered. the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning. (John 1:14, 18; John 10:30) The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal. (John 15:26).

MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION - 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.” (Rom. 3:23)”As it is written, there is non righteous, no not one.” (Rom. 3:10) Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the works of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God. (Rom. 5:12, 1 John 3:8, Gal. 3:13, 14) 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. (Eph. 2:8)

 

ETERNAL LIFE AND NEW BIRTH - Man’s first step toward salvation is Godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The new birth is necesary to all men, and when fulfilled, produces eternal life. (2 Cor. 7:19, 1 John 5:12, John 3:3-5)

WATER BAPTISM - Baptism in water is by immersion and is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only. This ordinance is a symbol to the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. (Matt. 28:19, Rom. 6:4, Acts 8:26-29)

 

BAPTISM AND THE HOLY GHOST - The baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to those who are believers in this dispensation 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. (Matt. 3:11, John 14:16-17, Acts 2:38-39, Acts 19:1-7, Acts 2:4)

DIVINE HEALING - 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 laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ, and it is the privilege of every member of the church today. (Mark 16:18, James 5:14-20, 1 Peter 2:24, Matt. 8:17, Isaiah 53:4-5)
