The Scriptures

All scripture is given by inspiration of God; The Word of God is final authority
in the earth (II Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:21, I Thessalonians 2:13).

The Godhead

Our God is One, but manifested in three Persons-The Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit, being coequal (Deut. 6:4, Philippians 2:60, I John 5:7).

All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God and are in need of salvation – Through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world (Romans 3:10, 23).

Salvation has been provided for through Jesus Christ – There is no other name given among men whereby you must be saved (Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9, 10). Jesus Christ gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God (Romans 5:15-19).

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

The infilling of the Holy Spirit is an experience subsequent to
salvation, and it’s the Will of God that all be filled. (Acts 2:1-4, Acts 19:2-6).

Divine Healing

It’s provided for in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and is available to
every believer. (I Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:5). Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith and the laying on of hands. (Mark 16:18, James 5:14,15).

Sanctification

The Bible teaches that without holiness no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a progressive work of grace (II Peter 3:18, I Corinthians 1:30).

Resurrection of the Just and the Return of our Lord – The angels said to Jesus disciples, “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.” His coming is imminent (Acts 1:11). When He return the Bible says that the dead in Christ shall rise first then we that are alive and remain shall be
caught up to meet the lord in the air. (I Thessalonians 4:16, 17).

Hell and Eternal Retribution

Everyone will be judged one day according to what they did
upon the earth (Hebrews 9:27). Hell is a literal place reserved for those who fail to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior (Revelations 19:20, Luke 16:22-31).

Water Baptism and the Observance of the Lord’s Supper

Baptism in water is by immersion, it’s a direct commandment from our Lord Jesus for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ’s death, burial and resurrection (Matthew 28; 19 & Romans 6:3-5). In Communion we reflect back on the Death, burial and
resurrection of our Lord. The sacraments (juice and bread) represents the body and blood of our Lord and Savior, as we partake we can expect to receive continued forgiveness, deliverance, victory and healing (I Corinthians 11:23-31).
