WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Scriptures
We believe in the divine inspiration of the whole Bible, the infallibility of the original manuscripts, and that the teachings in the Bible is truth without any error and is inspired even to the very words and is therefore the in scripted Word of God, to be practiced under the direction of the Holy Ghost.
Salvation
The Bible states salvation is brought by grace. Ephesians 2:8-9, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.The Bible explains salvation is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other (unlearned) tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. (Acts Chapter Two) The evidence of a transformed life is the operation of the fruit of the Spiri in a believer.
The Godhead
We believe in one eternal God, infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purpose, and possessing absolute indivisible deity. This one true God has revealed Himself in these last days as Father in creation, through His Son in redemption, and through the Holy Ghost in emanation. (1 Cor. 8:6, Eph. 4:6, 2 Cor. 5:19, Joel 2:28)
The Son of God
The one true God, the Jehovah of the Old Testament, took upon Himself the form of man, as the Son of man, was born of the virgin Mary. As Paul says, “and without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” (1 Tim. 3:16)
Healing
We believe that the vicarious suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ paid for the healing of our bodies, as for the salvation of our souls. “Himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses.” (Matt. 8:17) Jesus said of believers – “they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” (Mark 16:18) “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up.” (James 5:14-16)
Resurrection
One day there will be a resurrection of all of the dead, both just and unjust. “Marvel not this: for the hours is coming, in the which all that are in graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29) (Read Revelation 20:12-13)
Judgment
“It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Read Hebrews 9:27) For this reason there will be a resurrection for everyone. “For all we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (II Corinthians 5:10). (Read Matthew 25:32-34, 41, 46)
