WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Bible is our all-sufficient rule for faith and patience.
1. THE SCRIPTURES INSPIRED -- The scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
2. THE ONE TRUE GOD -- The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM”, the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind.
3. THE DEITY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST -- The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.
4. THE FALL OF MAN -- Man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
5. THE SALVATION OF MAN -- Man’s only hope is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
6. THE ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH -- (1) Baptism in Water and (2) Holy Communion.
7. THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST -- All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect and earnestly seek, the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
8. THE EVIDENCE OF THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST -- The Baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues.
9. SANCTIFICATION -- Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God.
10. 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.
11. THE FIVE-FOLD MINISTRY -- A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry provided by our Lord for a two-fold purpose: (1) The equipping of the saints, and (2) The edifying of the Body of Christ.
12. DIVINE HEALTH -- God’s will is for His people to walk in Divine Health.
13. THE BLESSED HOPE -- The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord.
