The Bible

The Bible is inspired by God; the infallible Word of God. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).

One God

There is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living beings. He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), as the Son (Savior), and as the Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit in the church today).

Repentance

Pardon and forgiveness of sins are obtained by genuine repentance, a confessing and forsaking of sins. We are justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). Jesus said, -except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). Luke 24:47 says, “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”

Water Baptism

The scriptural mode of baptism is the immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Through baptism, we identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:3-6, Colossians 2:11-14, Acts 2:38).

Holy Spirit

We receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues (Acts 2:4). John the Baptist, in Matthew 3:11, said, “…He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.”

We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy; words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, healing, helps and government (Mark 16:15-18, Acts 5:16, 2 Corinthians 12:1-11).

Holiness

God, who is holy, calls each of us into a relationship with Him. This relationship manifests itself in every aspect of our lives, including our families. Godly living should characterize the life of every child of the Lord, and we should live according to the pattern and examples that are given in the Word of God. “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and Godly, in this present world” (Titus 2:11,12). “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Heb. 12:14).
