FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS
1.There is one God who is eternally existent in three persons.God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.God is infinitely perfect and is the Creator of all things
(Genesis 1:26 ) (Deuteronomy 6:4) ( Isaiah 40:28) (Matthew 28:19) ( John 14:26) (2 Corinthians 13:14)
2. The Bible is the inspired word of God and is without error in the original autographs. It is the Divine revelation of God's will,His plan of salvation and is the complete authority for all who choose to believe in him
(John1:1-2) (2 Timothy 3:16)
3. In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, In His virgin birth, In His sinless life,In His miracles. He gave his life as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, In His bodily resurrection, In his ascension to the right hand of the Father, In His personal future return to the earth in power and glory to rule for a thousand years.
(John Ch 1) ( Matthew 1:18) ( Matthew 28:5-6) ( Revelation 20:4)
4.The blood of Jesus provides justification and salvation for those who believe in Him. Mankind was created in the image of God, But because of the original sin,is therefore lost.Only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation be obtained and spiritual life restored. Only those who believe in and receive Jesus Christ as both Savior and Lord are born of God
(1 John 1:7 ) ( John Ch. 3 ) (John 14:6 ) ( 1 Corinthians 15:22 ) (Titus 3:5 )
5.The Holy Spirit is the Divine nature of God whose primary work is to convict the lost with the message of the gospel and to guide, Instruct in righteousness,regenerate and comfort the believer. The baptism of the Holy Spirit supernaturally empowers believers to be witness and equips them for service and ministry.The gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit glorify Jesus Christ and are manifested in the life of the believer daily.
( John 14:26 ) ( John 16:7-8 ) (Acts 2:4 ) ( 1 Corinthians Ch.12 ) (Galatians 5:16-25 )
6.Salvation is a covenant relationship with God the Father and as such can be broken by mankind. The Bible is clear that eternal security is conditional and maintained by the believer's continuing faith in Jesus Christ and submission to His Lordship.
(John 15:1-17 )
7. Water baptism by immersion and communion are ordinances to be observed by the church, but are not to be regarded as means of salvation. They are to be followed until Jesus Christ returns
( Matthew 28:16-20) (Luke 22:7-20) (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
8.Divine healing of the human body provided through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross in answer to believing prayer
(James 5:16-17) ( 1 Peter 2:24)
9.In pubic witness of the believer's life as a light that shines in darkness. The believer's life as a witness of the indwelling presence of God.As such each believer must study the Bible and pray daily to progressively reflect the image of Jesus Christ through his or her life. There should be no fellowship with unfruitful works of darkness. We should love the sinner and hate the sin.Our love must be expressed in compassionate concern for the physical as well as the spiritual well being of all humanity
(Matthew 5:14-16) ( Matthew 18:21-35) ( John 13:34-35) ( 2 Corinthians 6:14-18) ( 1 Peter 3:8-9) ( 1 Peter 4:8)
10.In the five ministry offices given to the church for the purpose of equipping the saints
( Ephesians 4:12-16)
11.The gospel is to be proclaimed to all creation, not only in word but also express in deeds with signs and wonders following.
( Matthew 28:18-20) (Mark:15-18 ) (James 2:14-18)
12.We believe in the blessed hope, the soon return of Jesus Christ to receive his bride at His coming. In the new heaven and the new earth and the Holy Jerusalem, the city of God,descending out of heven and filled with God's glory. In the resurrection and final judgment of both the saved and the lost, the first to everlasting life and the second to everlasting damnation.
(Titus 2:13-14 ) ( Revelation 20:11-15 ) ( Revelation 21:1-2,10 )
