The Scriptures:

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.  The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in the matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine (II Timothy 3:15; I Thessalonians 2:13 and II Peter 1:21)

The Godhead:

Our God is one, but manifested in three persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, being co-equal (Philippians 2:6).  I John 5:7 states that there are that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one.

God the Father is the greater than all: the Source of word (Logos) and the Begetter (John 4:28; John 16:28; John 1:14).  

The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning (John 1:1; John 1:18 and John 1:14).  

The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 15:26).  

Man, His Fall and Redemption:

Man us a created being, made in the likeness and image of God (Genesis 1:26), but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world. Romans 5:14 and Romans 3:10.  Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God (I 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 ( (Romans 6:23 and Ephesians 2:8-10).

Eternal Life and the New Birth:

Man’s first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that worketh repentance.  The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when fulfilled produces eternal life (II Corinthians 7:10; I John 5:12 and John 3:3-5)

Water Baptism:

Baptism in water by immersion is a direct commandment of our Lord and is for believers only.  The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4, Col 2:12 and Acts 8:36-39).

Baptism in the Holy Ghost:

Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gif from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers and received subsequent to the New birth.  This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (Matthew 3:11, John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8, Acts 2:38; Acts 19:1-7 and Acts 2:4)

Sanctification:

The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see God.  We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation (Hebrews 12:14; I Thessalonians 5:23; II Peter 3:18, II Corinthians 3:18; and Philippians 3:12-14).

Divine Healing:

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 16:18; James 5:14-25; I Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:4-5 and Matt 8:17)

Resurrection of the Just and the return of our Lord:

Act 1:11, I Thessalonians 4:16-17.  “The same Jesus shall so come in like manner”.  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.  Following the tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of kings and Lord of Lords, together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests.  He will reign for a thousand years (Revelation 20:6).

Hell and Eternal Retribution:

The one who physically dies in his sins without Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the Lake of Fire and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting.  The Lake of Fire is literal.  The terms “eternal” and “everlasting” as used in describing the duration of the punishment of the dammed 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)
