ABOUT 

Our God is one, but manifested in three Persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, being co-equal. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Philippians 2:6) God the Father is the Sender of the Word (logos) and the Begetter (John 14:28, 16:28, 1:14). Jesus is the second member of the Godhead, and is God manifested in the flesh. (John 1:1-5, 14) The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 14:16, 15:26).

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by Holy Spirit. We accept the New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 Thessalonians. 2:13)

Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God (Genesis 1:26-31), but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world Genesis 3:1-7). The Bible says, “…all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” and “…there is none righteous, no not one” (Romans 3:23, 3:10) Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the works of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God (Romans 5:14; John 3:8). Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the Law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God. (Ephesians 2:8-10)

Christ, the Son of God, became man, by taking to Himself a true body and a reasonable soul, being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and born of her yet without sin. (Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:11-17; Luke 2:27-35)

Man’s first step towards salvation is Godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The new birth is necessary to all men and, when experienced, produces eternal life. (2 Corinthians 7:10; 1 John 5:12; John 3:3) The Evidences of Salvation: The inward evidence to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit. (Romans 8:16; I John 3:18-19, 24) The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness. “You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16-20)

Baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation. With it comes the endowment of power for life and service along with the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. (Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31) This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the New Birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; Matthew 3:11; John 14:16)

Baptism in water is a declaration to the world that a believer has died with Christ and that they have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 10:47; Romans 6:4)

We celebrate the Lord’s supper by the eating of the bread and drinking of the cup in remembrance of what Jesus did for us on the cross. (1 Corinthians 11:24-30)

Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the Atonement of Christ and is the privilege of every member of the Church today. (Mark 16:16; James 5:14, 15; 1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17; Isaiah 53:4,5)

Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit in order to

complete the development of Christ’s character in us. It is through the present ministry of the

Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. (I

Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, Romans 8:29, 12:1-2, 2 Cor 3:18,

Hebrews 2:11, 12:14, 2 Pe 3:18)

The angels said to Jesus’ disciples “….this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” His coming is imminent. When He comes, “… the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air….” (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17). Following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of kings and Lord of lords, and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests; He shall reign a thousand years. (Revelation 5:10, 20:6)

The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the Lake of Fire and has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel and repenting.

The Lake of Fire is literal. The terms “eternal” and “everlasting” as used in describing the duration of the punishment of the damned in the Lake of Fire carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of saints in the Presence of God. (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 19:20, 20:10-15)
