STATEMENT OF BELIEFS

  • THE BIBLE is the inspired Word of God – 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Corinthians 10:11

  • JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN – All must be “born again” to enter the kingdom of God, to obtain His blessings, to have peace with God, and to meet Him in the air as His bride, without spot or blemish. Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9, John 3:3
  • WATER BAPTISM – Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts 8:36–39.
  • BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST – The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the new birth. John 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:1–7; Acts 2:1–4
  • SANCTIFICATION – The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. 2 Corinthians 7:1, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 NKJV, 1 Thessalonians 4:7, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:24-27
  • DIVINE HEALING – Healing is for the physical 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. James 5:14,15; Mark 16:18; Isa. 53:4,5; Matt. 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24
  • TITHING – All believers are to tithe the first tenth of all their increase and honor God with their substance. Proverbs 3:9-10, Malachi 3:8-12 Tithing was initiated before the law, though taught in both the Old and New Testaments. Matthew 23:23, Hebrews 7:2, Hebrews 7:5
  • AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER – All believers have power over all the power of the enemy and they are to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils, and preach the good news. Luke 10:19, Matthew10:7,8
  • ETERNAL JUDGMENT – All will be judged: the saints for their works, the sinners to damnation, and Satan and all his demons to the lake of fire. 1 Corinthians 3:13-15, Revelation 20
  • THE LORD’S SECOND COMING – A distinct, separate event from the rapture of the Church. The personal, imminent return of Christ at the end of the seven-year tribulation, when He will personally and visibly return, with His saints. Revelation 19:11-16, Revelation 1:7, Matthew 24:30, Zechariah 14:4-6, 1 Thessalonians 1:10, Titus 2:13
