1. The Scriptures:
The Bible is the divine word of God written by Holy men of old as they were moved upon by the Holy
Spirit. (Hebrews 4:12-13)
2. The Godhead:
Our God is one, but manifested in three persons; The Father, The Son,
and the Holy Spirit, being co-equal.
(John 1:1-2, Mark 1:10-11)
3. The New Birth:
Man was created in a state
of innocency, but because of the fall of Adam, sin was imputed to all mankind, and all human beings are born with a sinful
nature. Jesus died for our sins, becoming a substitute sacrifice, and all that repent and believe on him may be saved. (2Cor
5:17, 1Thess 5:23)
4. Eternal Life:
Those who are born-again receive eternal life of God, at the time of the new
birth and will experience joy and life in the presence of God. Those not saved shall experience everlasting torment and death.
(Deut 30:19, John 3:16)
5. The Church:
The church is the body of Christ of which he is the head. The true church
consists of those who have been born again accepting the provisions, which Christ made for our salvation. (Matt 16:18)
6.
Water Baptism:
Baptism is the immersion in water and is a direct commandment by our Lord, and is for believers only. The
ordinance is a symbol of the Christians identification with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection. (1Pet 3:21, Acts
2:38-39)
7. Baptism of the Holy Ghost:
The Baptism of the Holy Ghost is a gift of God to all believers and is accompanied
by the speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. (Acts 2:1-4, Eph 5:14-21)
8. Sanctification:
Sanctification
is a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation
of salvation. (John 17:15, 1Thess 4:1-12)
9. Divine Healing:
Healing is for the physical, emotional and spiritual
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 it is the privilege of every member of the church today.
(Isaiah 53:4-5, 1Pet
2:24)
