what we believe
the bible
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to man, giving a true history of thecreation of heaven, earth, and humanity and containing a correct prophecy of the ages to comeregarding heaven, earth, and the destiny of humanity. Moreover, there is no salvation outside ofwhat is taught in its pages (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25 2 Peter 1:20-21; Hebrews 4:12).
divine healing
God has made Himself known through the ages by miraculous healings and has made specialprovisions in the age of grace to heal all who will come to Him in faith and obedience. Divinehealing was purchased for us by the blood of Jesus Christ, especially by His stripes (Isaiah 53:5;Matthew 8:16-17; I Peter 2:24) There is no sickness or disease too hard for God. Any of us, ourchildren, or our friends can be healed by the power of God. “Is any sick among you? let him callfor the elders of the church; and let them pray over him , anointing him with oil in the name ofthe Lord shall raise him up: and if he have committed sins they shall be forgiven him. Confessyour faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed” (James 5:14-16).
second coming of jesus christ
Jesus Christ is coming back to earth in bodily form, just as He went away (Acts 1:11). He will catch away a holy people (His bride, His church) who have accepted redemption through His blood, by birth of water and of the Spirit, and who are found faithful when He comes. “For theLord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and withthe trump of God: and 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: and so shall we everbe with the Lord” (I Thessalonians 4:16-17).
sin
Sin is the transgression of the law, or commandments of God (I John 3:4). The guilt of sin hasfallen upon all humanity from Adam until now (Romans 3:23). The wages of sin is eternal death(Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:14) to all those who refuse to accept salvation as set forthin the Word of God.
THE LAKE OF FIRE
Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separationfrom the God. The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and anyone whose namewas not found written in the book of life, shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in thelake of fire which burns with brimstone. This is the second death, the lake of fire(Rev. 19:20; 20:10-15).
SALVATION
Salvation consists of deliverance from all sin and unrighteousness through the blood ofJesus Christ. The New Testament experience of salvation consists of repentance from sin, water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of theHoly Ghost, after which the Christian is to live a godly life (Acts 2:36-41).
HOLINESS
After we are saved from sin, we are commanded, “Go, and sin no more” (John 8:11) We are commanded to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world (Titus 2:12) and warnedthat without holiness no one shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14) We must present ourselves asholy unto God (Romans 12:1), cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit(II Corinthians 7:1), and separate ourselves from all worldliness (James 4:4) If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (I Peter 4:18) No one can livea holy life by his own power, but only through the Holy Spirit. “Ye shall receive power, afterthat the Holy Ghost is come upon you” (Acts 1:8).
GOD
There is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is infinite in power, holy in nature, purpose andattributes. He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living beings. He has revealed Himselfto humanity as the Father (Creator), as the son (Savior), and as the Holy Ghost(indwelling Spirit). Ephesians 4:6; 2Corinthians 5:19. ​​
FATHER
God is a Spirit (John 4:24). He is the Eternal One, the Creator of all things, and the Father of all humanity by creation. He is the First and the Last, and beside Him there is no God (Isaiah 44:6). There was no God formed before Him; neither shall be there any after Him (Isaiah 43:10).
SON
Jesus is the Son of God according to the flesh (Romans 1:3) and the very God Himself according to the Spirit (Matthew 1:23). Jesus is the Christ (Matthew 16:16); the creator of all things (Colossians 1:16-17); God with us (Matthew 1:23); God made flesh (John 1:1-14); God manifested in the flesh (I Timothy 3:16); He which was, which is, and which is to come, the Almighty (Revelation 1:8); the mighty God, everlasting Father, and Prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6). Jesus Himself testified of His identity as God when He said, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (John 14:7-11) and “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30).
HOLY GHOST
The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God (the Creator), the Spirit of the resurrected Christ. The Holy Ghost comes to dwell in the hearts and lives of everyone who believes and obeys the gospel, as the comforter, Sustainer, and keeper (John 14:16-26; Romans 8:9-11).
