We Believe:
- The Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments is the inspired word
of God; it is a perfect revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and
is the divine rule and authority in faith and life.
- There is one God, eternally existing in a trinity of three
persons--Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
- Jesus Christ was true God and true man. He was conceived of the Holy
Ghost and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross, the just for the
unjust as a sacrfice for sin. He arose from the dead according to the
Scriptures, ascended on high, and is now at the right hand of God the Father
as our great High Priest. He is the only sufficient Mediator between God and
Man.
- Man was originally created in the image of God; he fell by voluntary
transgression and thereby incurred spiritual death in the human family.
- Upon sincere repentance of sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the
sinner is justified, regenerated, and saved from the dominion of sin and is
adopted into the family of God.
- It is the will of God for each believer to be baptized in the Holy Ghost
and fire. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the
bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. This
wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of
the new birth. The full consumation of the baptism of believers in the Holy
Ghost is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other
tongues as the spirit gives utterance.
- The Scriptures teach a life of "holiness without which no man shall see
the Lord." By the power of the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command,
"Be ye holy for I am holy." Entire sanctification is the will of God for all
in obedience to God's word.
- Every Christian should manifest a victorious Christian Life, be fully
consecrated to the will of God, and be earnest and zealous for the cause of
Christ and evangelization of the world.
- Jesus Christ is the physician of His people. Deliverance from sickness
is provided for in the atonement and is the privilege of all believers.
- The imminent return of Christ for the Church, His bride, is the blessed
and living hope of all believers.
- The revelation of Christ from Heaven, the salvation of national Israel,
and the millennial reign of Christ on the earth is the scriptural promise
and world's hope.
- They which are written in the Lamb's book of life shall enter into the
Holy City, New Jerusalem, but whosever was not found written in the Book of
Life was cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
