DOCTRINE AND BELIEFS
The Scripture Inspired
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God. I Timothy 3:15-17)
The One True Godhead
The triune Godhead is comprised of three separate and distinct personalities: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. The second member of the Godhead, our Lord Jesus Christ, who is God manifest in the flesh, was born of a virgin. (John 1:14, Luke 1:26-38)
Man, His Fall and Redemption
Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression, fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God. (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21)
The Salvation of Man
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ; Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works. On the cross Jesus Christ became sin and sickness providing both salvation and divine healing for all mankind. (Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:8-10; Psalm 103:1-3)
Baptism In Water.
The ordinance of baptism should be observed as commanded in the scriptures identifying a true believer with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 10:47-48,
'Romans 6:4)
The Lord's Supper
Each believer should partake of the bread, signifying the Lord's body, and the cup, signifying the Lord's blood for the new covenant, doing this in remembrance of His work at the cross of Calvary. (1 Corinthians 11:24-28)
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The initial evidence of receiving this free gift is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. With the Spirit comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. (Acts 1:4-8; | Corinthians 12:1-31)
