Core Beliefs
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, irrefutable Word of God.
Matthew 24:35 - 2 Timothy 3:16 - 2 Peter 1:21
GOD
We believe that there is only one God. He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living beings. He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), as the Son (Savior), and as the Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit).
Deuteronomy 6:4 - 2 Corinthians 5:19 - 1 Timothy 3:16
NEW TESTAMENT PLAN OF SALVATION
Jesus proclaimed in Luke 24:46-49, “…thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that (1) repentance and (2) remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And, behold, (3) I send the promise of my Father upon you…”
Peter preached in Acts 2:38-39, “Then Peter said unto them, (1) Repent, and (2) be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and (3) ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
REPENTANCE
We believe in repentance as the necessary first response of our faith in God.
Luke 13:13 - Acts 17:30 - 1 John 1:9
BAPTISM
We believe in water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin.
Acts 2:38 - Romans 6:3-6 - Colossians 2:11-14
THE HOLY GHOST
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues.
Acts 2:4 - Acts 19:6 - Acts 10:44-48
GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit. God still ministers to the church through: tongues; interpretation of tongues; prophecy; words of knowledge and wisdom; discerning of spirits; faith; working of miracles; healing; helps and government.
Mark 16:15-18 - Acts 5:16 - 2 Corinthians 12:1-11
CHRISTIAN LIVING
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. Mark 12:28-3 - II Corinthians 2 7:1 - Hebrews 12:14 - I Corinthians 12:8-10
THE FUTURE
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death.
I Thessalonians 4:16-17 - Revelation 20:11-15
