BELIEFS
THE SCRIPTURES INSPIRED
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the
revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:15-
17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
2. THE ONE TRUE GOD
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I Am,” the Creator of
heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying
the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4;
Isaiah 43:10, 11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).
3. THE DEITY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare:
a. His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31, 35)
b. His sinless life (Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22)
c.His miracles (Acts 2:22; 10:38)
d.His substitutionary work of the cross (1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21)
e.His bodily resurrection from the dead (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:4)
f.His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9, 11; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3)
4. THE FALL OF MAN
Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness.” However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical
death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God (Genesis 1:26, 27; 2:17; 3:6;
Romans 5:12-19).
5. THE SALVATION OF MAN
Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the son of God.
a. Conditions to salvation: Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith
toward the Lord Jesus Christ by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy
Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God according to
the hope of eternal life (Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8; Titus
2:11; 3:5-7)
b. The evidence of salvation: The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the
Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true
holiness (Ephesians 4:24; Titus 2:12).
6. THE ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH
a. Baptism in Water: The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded in the
Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized.
Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have
been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Mark 17:16; Acts
10:47, 48; Romans 6:4)
b. Holy Communion: The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements – bread and the fruit of
the vine – is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ
(2 Peter 1:4); a memorial of His suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26) and a
prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26); and is enjoined on all believers
“till He come.”
7. THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
All believers are entitled to and are encouraged to seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the
promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian church. With it
comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses
in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31). This experience is
distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 15:7-9). With the baptism in the Holy Spirit come such experiences as an overflowing fullness of the Spirit (John 7:37-39; Acts 4:8), a deepened reverence for God (Acts 2:43; Hebrews 12:28), and intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work (Acts 2:42), and a more active love for Christ, for His work, and for the lost.
8. THE EVIDENCE OF THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking
with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4). The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift in tongues (1 Corinthians 12:4-10, 28), but different in purpose and use.
9. SANCTIFICATION
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God
(Romans 12:1, 2; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12). The Scriptures teach a life of “holiness
without which no man shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). By the power of the Holy Spirit we
are able to obey the command: “Be ye holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15, 16). Sanctification is
realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:1-13; Romans 8:1, 2, 13; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 2:12, 13; 1 Peter 1:5).
10. THE CHURCH
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine
appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an
integral part of the Church of the first-born, which are written in heaven
(Ephesians 1:22, 23; Hebrews 12:23).
Since God’s purpose concerning man is to seek and to save that which is lost, to be worshipped
by man, and to build a body of believers in the image of His Son, as part of the church is:
a) To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world (Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:19,20; and Mark
16:15,16).
b) To be a corporate body in which man may worship God (1 Corinthians 12:13).
c) To be a channel of God’s purpose to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of
His Son (Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Corinthians 12:28; 14:12)
11. THE MINISTRY
A divinely called and Scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a twofold
purpose:
a. The evangelization of the world, and
b. The edifying of the Body of Christ (Mark 16:15-20; Ephesians 4:11-13)
12. DIVINE HEALING
Divine healing is an integral part of the Gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the
atonement, and is the privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4, 5; Matthew 8:16, 17; James 5:14-16).
13. THE BLESSED HOPE
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with
those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope
of the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52).
14. THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST
The Second Coming of Christ includes the rapture of the Saints, which is our blessed hope,
followed by the visible return of Christ with His Saints to reign on the earth for one thousand
years (Zechariah 14:5; Matthew 24:27, 30; Revelation 1:7; 19:11-14; 20:1-6). This millennial
reign will bring the salvation of national Israel (Ezekiel 37:21, 22; Zephaniah 3:19, 20; Romans
11:26, 27) and the establishment of universal peace (Isaiah 11:6-9; Psalm 72:3-8; Micah 4:3, 4).
15. THE FINAL JUDGMENT
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to
their works. Whosoever is not found written in the book of life, together with the devil and his
angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 19:20; 20:11-15; 21:8).
16. THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH
“We, according to His promise, look for a new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness” (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:22).
