What We Believe

 

  • THE SCRIPTURES - The Bible is the inspired Word of God.
  • THE GODHEAD - Our God is one, but manifest in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  • MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION - Man is a created in the image and likeness of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world.
  • ETERNAL LIFE AND THE NEW BIRTH - Man’s first step toward salvation is Godly sorrow that works repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced produces eternal life.
  • WATER BAPTISM - Baptism in water by immersion is a direct commandment of our Lord, as an ordinance of the church it represents Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.
  • THE LORD’S TABLE – The second ordinance of the church is the remembrance of the price Christ paid at Calvary by the elements of the bread and the cup.
  • BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT - The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the New Birth.
  • SANCTIFICATION - The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite yet progressive work of grace.
  • DIVINE HEALING - Healing is for the physical ills of the human body that is wrought by the power of God and is provided for in the atonement of Christ.
  • THE GREAT COMMISSION - The Bible commands us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to everyone as well as make disciples in every nation.
  • THE RETURN OF OUR LORD - Jesus will come just as he ascended, in the clouds, catching up His believers.
  • HELL AND ETERNAL RETRIBUTION - Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels, but will also be the eternal home of all those who reject Christ.
  • THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE – Marriage should only be between one man and one woman as is the Biblical pattern since the garden.
  • THE ASCENSION GIFTS OF CHRIST – Jesus Himself gave gifts to men upon His ascension. These gifts consist of: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers.
  • THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – The Holy Spirit gives supernatural gifts to members of the Body of Christ who have received the Baptism Of The Holy Spirit. These nine gifts consist of: The Word Of Knowledge, The Word Of Wisdom, The Discerning Of Spirits, The Gifts Of Healing (s), The Working Of Miracles, The Gift Of (Special) Faith, Tongues, The Interpretation Of Tongues and Prophecy.
