Our Belief
The Bible
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason (2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Peter 2:2).
GOD
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed “I AM” and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, i.e., Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29, Isaiah 43:10, Isaiah 11, Matthew 28:19).
The Holy Sprit
All believers are entitled to the promise of the Father and the baptism in Holy Spirit according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience in the early Christian Church. With it comes a deeper spiritual life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4, 1 Corinthians 12:1-31). This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 10:44-46, Acts 11:14-16, Acts 15:7-9). The baptism in Holy Spirit is often witnessed with the outward evidence of speaking in tongues, and inward evidence of the fruit of the Spirit (Acts 2:1-39, Gal 5:22-24).
Baptism in Water
The ordinance of baptism is a symbol of burial with Christ and should be observed as commended in the scriptures by all who have repented and believed in Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they have the body submerged in water as an outward symbol of cleansing, while their heart has already been sprinkled with the blood of Christ, through salvation, as in inner cleansing. They declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and been raised with Him to walk in the newness of life (Matthew 28:19, Acts 10:47-48, Romans 6:4).
Salvation
The salvation of man is wholly a work of God's grace and is not the work of man. Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Salvation is received through repentance towards God and faith towards the Lord Jesus Christ. The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Holy Spirit to man’s spirit, and the outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness. (Eph 2:8-10, Rom 3:21-26, 9:30-33, Gal 3:1-14, 22-24, Rom 8:16, Eph 4:24, Titus 2:12)
Divine Healing and Deliverance
Deliverance from sickness is provided for us in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers. By His stripes we were healed (Isaiah 53:4, Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 8:16, Matthew 8:17, 2 Peter 2:24). Deliverance is the children's bread and we are to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and cast out demons, freely we have received freely give. Matthew 10:7-8, Matthew 15:21-28, Eph 4:27.
