We Believe

bible

The authority and infallibility of the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, to be our rule of faith and conduct.

Trinity

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

​

(Deut. 6:4; Isa. 43:10- 11; Matt. 28:19; Luke 3;22.) 

Jesus

Jesus is true God and true Man.

 

His virgin birth

(Matt.1:23; Luke 1:31,35).

His sinless life

(Heb.7:26; I Pet. 2:22).

His miracles

(Acts 2:22; 10:38).

His sacrifice for the sins of all men

(I Cor.15:3; II Cor. 5:21).

Bodily resurrection from the dead

(Matt. 28:6; Luke 24;39; I Cor.15:4)

His exaltation to the right hand of God

(Acts 1:9,11; 2:33; Phil. 2:9-11;Heb 1:3)

humanity

Man was created in the image of God, yielded to sin which produced spiritual death.

healing

Divine healing is an integral part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

​

Deliverance from sickness and disease is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

 

(Isa.  53:4-5; Matt. 8:17-17; James 5:13-15)

salvation

The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the ONLY grounds for justification and salvation. 

 

(Gen. 1:26;  2:17; 3:6 Rom. 5:12-19; Luke 24:27; John 3:3;  Rom. 10:13-15;  Eph. 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7).

Ordinances

The ordinances of the church during this present age are water baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper. However, these divine ordinances are not to be regarded as a means of salvation. 

 

(Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47;  Rom. 10:13- 15; Eph. 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7).

SECOND COMING

Bodily resurrection of the dead: Of the believer to everlasting joy with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment and to everlasting conscious punishment.

 

(I Thess.4:16-17; Rom. 8:23, Titus 2:13; I Cor.15:51-52).

      

Pre-Millennial return of Jesus for His body (the church). 

 

(Zech.14:5;  Matt. 24:27, 30; Rev. 19:11-14; 20:1-6).

         

The new heaven and the new earth. 

 

(II Pet. 3:13; Revelation 21,22).

holy spirit

Only through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

​

The present, supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. 

 

He indwells, guides, teaches, instructs and empowers the believer for Godly living and service. 

​

Every believer should be encouraged to be filled with the Holy Spirit with speaking in Tongues as the initial physical evidence.

(Luke 24:49; I Cor. 2:1-31; 15:51- 52; Acts 1:4-8; 4:8; 2:42,43; 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-16;15:7, 9; John 7:37-39;  Heb.12:28; Mark 16:20).
