- The Scriptures Inspired
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, revealing the will of
God. It is the infallible rule of faith and practice for our
journey through life. II Tim. 3:16-17; I Pet. 1:23-25; Heb.
4:12; Ps. 119:89; Matt. 5:18; Isa. 40:8
- The One True God
The One True God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent,
self-revealing “I AM,” and has further revealed
Himself in the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Deut.
6:4; Mark 12:29; Isa. 40:10-31, 43:10; I Tim. 6:15-16; I John
5:7; Matt. 28:19
- Man, His Fall, and Redemption
Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us
make man in our image, after our likeness.” Man, by voluntary
transgressions, fell into sin, and his only hope of redemption
is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Gen. 1:26, 31; Psa.
8:4-8; Gen. 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-21; I Cor. 15:21-22; II Cor. 5:17
- The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus, eternally with the Father, took upon
Himself the form of man, being born of the Virgin Mary, lived
a sinless life and gave His life on the cross as the supreme
sacrifice for our sins, purchasing our redemption with His blood.
Being raised the third day from the dead, He ascended into heaven
and is seated at God the Father’s right hand. Matt.
3:17, 17:5; Luke 3:22; John 1:14, 18; John 3:16, 18; I John
4:9; Isa. 9:6; John 1:33, 34; Matt. 1:18-25; Phil. 2:7-11
- The Salvation of Man
Salvation is found only in Jesus Christ. Christ came to seek
and to save the lost. It is in Him that we have redemption through
His blood and the forgiveness of sins. While salvation was provided
by the shed blood of Jesus Christ our Lord, it is our responsibility
to receive this salvation of grace through faith, knowing that
it is not of ourselves but is indeed a gift of God. The inward
witness to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness
of the Holy Spirit to our spirit that we are the children of
God. The outward witness is a life lived in obedience to the
will of God in all holiness by the power of the indwelling Christ.
John 3:16, 17; Heb. 12:2; Acts 4:12; Luke 19:10; Eph. 1:7;
John 10:9; Eph. 2:8; Rom. 8:16
- Baptism in Water
Believers are commanded to be baptized after they have repented
of their sin and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. In so doing,
they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and
have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. We believe
immersion in water is the scriptural expression of baptism (the
Greek word used for baptism = “to be made fully
wet”). Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Rom. 6:3-5;
Col. 2:12; Acts 8:36, 38; Acts 16:14, 15; Acts 10:47, 48
- The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
This is the promise of the Father that all believers are entitled
to and should expect to receive. This was the normal experience
of all the early Christian churches. With it comes power for
life and service, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and their uses
in the work of the ministry. Speaking in tongues as a prayer
language is available to all who are baptized in the Holy Spirit.
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is distinct from and subsequent
to the New Birth. Acts 1:4-8; Luke 24:49; Acts 2:1-4; Acts
10:44-46; Acts 19:1-6; John 7:37-39; Joel 2:28-29; Mark 16:17;
I Cor. 12-14
- Communion
Jesus Himself instituted this ordinance of communion, and we
are to observe it until He comes again. The bread and the wine
represent the broken body and shed blood of Jesus Christ and
are a memorial of His suffering and death and a prophecy of
His Second Coming. All believers are encouraged to participate
with reverence and understanding.
Luke 22:19-20; Matt. 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-25; John 6:48-58;
I Cor. 11:23-29
- Sanctification
The Scriptures teach a life of holiness. By the power of the
Holy Spirit, we are able to obey the Word of God and not be
dominated by sin. Heb. 12:14; I Pet. 1:14-16; I Thess. 5:23-24;
I John 2:6; Rom. 8:3
- Divine Healing
Sickness and death are the result of the curse that came upon
the earth when man sinned in the Garden of Eden. Christ came
to set us free from the law of sin and death and purchased our
physical healing in the atonement. The words of Jesus before
He ascended into heaven were, “They shall lay hands on
the sick and they shall recover.” All believers have been
given this privilege. Healing can also be received through faith
in God’s Word, the gifts of the Spirit, and by anointing
with oil. Rom. 5:12; Rom. 8:2; Gal. 3:13; I Pet. 2:24; Matt.
8:16,17; Mark 16:15-20; Jas. 5:14-15; Matt. 9:29
- Tithing
We believe and teach the giving of ten percent of one’s
income to be an integral part of the Christian’s walk
with the Lord. Abraham paid tithe before the Law was given,
and in the New Testament Christ affirmed the paying of tithes.
God’s blessings of prosperity are promised to those who
tithe. Thithing demonstrates God’s ownership in our lives.
Gen. 14:20; Gen. 28:22; Lev. 27:30; II Chron. 31:5; Mal.
3:8-10; Matt. 23:23; Luke 11:42; Heb. 7:6-8
- The Rapture of the Church
The resurrection of the dead in Christ and their translation
together with those who are alive and remain at Jesus Christ’s
Second Coming is imminent, and is the blessed hope of the church.
We are looking for the coming of our great God and Savior Jesus
Christ when we will be changed and will be like Him. I Thess.
4:13-17; Titus 2:11-14; I Cor. 15:51-52; Heb. 9:28; II Thess.
2:1; I John 3:2
- Heaven and Hell
Heaven is a real place that God the Father has prepared for
all those who follow after His Son, Jesus Christ. There will
be a new heaven and a new earth where we will forever be with
our Lord. The Devil and his angels, the Beast and the False
Prophet, and whoever is not found written in the Book of Life,
will be confined to everlasting punishment in the lake that
burns with fire and brimstone. This is the second death. Rev.
19:20; Mark 16:16; Rev. 20:10-15; John 14:2-3; Rev. 21:1-3;
I Cor. 2:9
