Our Church accepts the Scriptures as the revealed Will of God, the all sufficient rule of faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity, adopts these Statements of Fundamental Truths and Doctrine.
The Scriptures Inspired. The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to man, the infallible rule faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason
(2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25, Heb. 4:12
The Triune Being. The triune Godhead is comprised of three (3) separate and distinct personalities, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, who are eternally self-existent, self-revealed and function as one entity. Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh, is the second member of the God head, co-equal and co-eternal with The Father and The Holy Spirit. (Deut 6:4, Mark 12:29, 1 John 5:7)
Man, His Fall and Redemption. Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in Our image, after our likeness”. But, man, by voluntary transgression, fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).
The Salvation of Man. (a) Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross Jesus Christ became sin and sickness providing both salvation and divine healing for all the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. (Romans 3:24; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:8-10.)
(b) The evidence of Salvation. The inward evidence to the believer of his salvation, is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is life of righteousness and true holiness. 1 John 3:23.
(c) Faith and Works. Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works will determine the rewards in eternity. (Romans 10:9-1 and II Cor. 5:10). Water Baptism. The ordinance of baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures by all who have really repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47, 48; Romans 6:4).
The Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. The full consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Sprit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:2, 6; 1:9).
The Lord’s Supper. “And when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” “Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup” (1 Cor.11:24; 25,28).
The Promise of the Father. All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Ghost 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 endowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
(Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:1-31). This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-6; 15:7-9).
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 general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in Heaven. (Ephesians 1:22; 2:19-22, Hebrews 12:23)
Total Prosperity. (a) Spiritual. John 3:3, 11; II Cor. 5:17-21; Romans 10:9-10.(b) Mental. II Tim. 1:7; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 26:3.(c) Physical. Isaiah 53:4, 5; Matt. 8:17; I Peter 2:24.(d) Financial. III John 1:2; Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; II Cor. 9:6-10; Deut. 28:1-14.(e) Social. Proverbs 3:4.
Blessed Hope. Jesus is coming again to gather all His Saints to Heaven. Awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the great god and Saviour Jesus-The Christ
(I Cor. 15:51-52; I Thess.4:16-17; and II Thess.2:1, Tit 2:13).
The Millennial Reign of Jesus. The return of our Lord Jesus Christ with His Saints from Heaven to rule and reign for one thousand years on earth as the Scriptures promised
(Romans 11:25, 27; 2 Thess. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16; 20:1-7. After this, there shall be a new heaven and a new earth (Rev. 21).
