- that all scriptures are inspired by the Holy Spirit. We accept the Old & New Testament according to the King James Version 1611 Edition and that the Testaments are the complete, supreme and final authority in faith and life. (Matthew 5:17-19, 1 Timothy 6:1-5, 2 Timothy 3:14-17, 2 Peter 1:20, 21)
- that God is one but manifested in three distinct persons - The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, all co-equal. (Phillippians 2:6) The father is the head (John 14:28) and has sent His Word and begotten Son (John 16:28). The Son is the Word made flesh, the only begotten One, existing with the Father from the beginning. (John 1:14, John 1:18, John 1:1). The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, The Spirit of Truth. The Holy Spirit was first received when Jesus breathed on the Apostles, whereby we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise in our hearts. He will guide us into all truth, will teach you all things and glorify Jesus. (John 14:26,15:26, 20:22; Ephesians 1:13, 2 Corinthians 1:22; John 16:8, John 15:26; 1 John 2:27)
- that man was created in the image of God but through the transgression of Adam, sin entered the world and thereby occurred spiritual and physical death. This death is embodied in total separation from God because of disobedience. All are born in sin and are in need of redemption. Jesus Christ came into the world to destroy the work of satan, father of sin and lies, and to bring man back to God (Genesis 1:27; Romans 5:14, Romans 3:23;1 John 3:8; 1 Peter 3:18). Salvation, apart from works and Law, is a free gift from God, which becomes operative by Grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God (Ephesians 2:8)
- in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ and the ascension of His glorified body into heaven, sitting at the right hand of God interceding as High Priest and Advocate for the saints. (1 Corinthians 15:4-8; Acts 1:9-11; 1 John 2:1; Hebrews 4:14-15; Romans 8:27)
- that all who receive, by faith, the Lord Jesus Christ, are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God (Romans 10:9-10; John 3: 3-7; 1 John 3:2; Galatians 3:26)
- in baptizing born again saints in Jesus name as soon as possible. We believe in full immersion Water Baptism (body fully covered by water symbolizing burial) (Acts 2:38; Acts 8: 16, 38-39; Acts 10: 47-48; Matthew 3:16: Romans 6:4-5)
- that baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire is, an experience subsequent to the new birth, is a gift from God, promised by the Son for all New Testament believers. This gift is evidenced by speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. (Matthew 3:11; John 14: 16-17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38-39, Acts 19:1-7; Acts 2:4)
- in the Five Fold Ministry, as stated in Ephesians 4:8-11 (Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers) and the office of a Bishop, Elder & Deacon. (1 Timothy 3:1-15; 1 Timothy 5: 1,17; Titus 1:5-9, 1 Peter 5: 1-3). No authority exceeds this ministry.
- that the Word teaches that without holiness and sanctification no man can see the Lord. We believe sanctification to be a Bible doctrine. Although a progressive work of grace, this process begins at new birth and continues unto perfection of salvation and the return of Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 12:14; 2 Peter 3:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Philippians 3: 12-14; 1 Corinthians 1:30)
- in the Gifts of the Spirit and that they are in manifestation now. Wrought of the power of God, through the prayer of faith and the laying on of hands, physical healing of the human body is provided for in atonement of Jesus Christ and is the privelege of the born again believer today. (1 Corinthians 12:1-12, 28; 1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17: Isaiah 53:4-5; Mark 16:18)
- that Jesus Christ arose bodily from the grip of death and the grave, and his coming is imminent (Matthew 28:1-20). We believe that upon His return, the dead in Christ will rise and those that are alive will be caught up in the clouds to meet Him (Acts 1:11). The world will go through a seven year tribulation period, the chief results of which will be a Gentile multitude which no man can number, of all nations and kindred's and people and tongues and a conversion of Jewry to the Messiah Jesus Christ. After the tribulation, Jesus shall return to earth as King of kings and Lord of lords and together with His saints, who will be Kings and Priests, shall reign for one thousand years. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; Revelation 20:6; Isaiah 66:7-10; 2 Thessalonians 2:7-9; Romans 11:25-27; Daniel 9: 27; Matthew 24: 21-22; Daniel 11: 32-36; 12:5-11; Zechariah 13:7-9; Revelations 7: 1-14
- that after the one thousand year reign of Jesus Christ on earth there will be a White Throne judgement, in which the dead, small and great shall be judged according to their works and then cast into the lake of fire. The heaven of earth shall pass away and that Holy City of The New Jerusalem shall come down from God out of heaven and the righteous shall dwell in it for eternity with Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God and God the Father. The human person, who physically dies in their sins, rejecting Jesus Christ, is hopelessly lost in the Lake of Fire with no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or for repentance. The Lake of fire is not figurative but literal. (Hebrews 1: 10-12;9:27; 2 Peter 3: 10-13; 1 John 2:17; Revelations 19:20; 20:11-14,21-22
