I. THE HOLY BIBLE is the Divinely inspired Word of God, the infallible rule of faith and conduct; that it was written by Holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. ( 2 Tim. 3:16, 17 , I Peter 2:2 , 2 Peter 1:19, 21 , II Tim. 2:15 )
II. THE HOLY TRINITY composed of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, with all power vested in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Co-existent, Eternal, Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent. ( Deut. 6: 4,5 , Matt. 28:19 , 2Cor. 13:14 , Luke 1:35 , John 1:14 )
III. THE SALVATION OF MAN. Through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ, man is saved by the washing of regeneration, whereupon he is born again, and being justified by grace, through faith, he becomes an heir of God. ( John 3:3,5,7, Titus 2:11, 3:5,7 ) The inward evidence is a witness of the Spirit. ( Romans 8:16 ) The outward evidence is a life of righteousness.
IV. SANCTIFICATION is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word. The Scriptures teach a life of Holiness, without which no man shall see God. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to obey the command, “Be ye Holy, for I am Holy”. ( Hebrews 12:14, I Thess. 5:23-24, I Peter 1:11, 16, I John 2:6 )
V. BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST. We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Ghost is a definite experience subsequent to the New Birth. All who receive this infilling speak with other tongues as on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:4. This is the enduement of power for service unto God. ( Acts 2:1-4 , Acts 8:17 , Acts 10: 44-46 , John 14:17 , I Cor. 3:16 )
VI. THE GIFTS AND FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT. The Holy Spirit has definite spiritual Gifts to bestow upon the believers of Jesus Christ. These gifts are divided to every man severally as the Holy Spirit wills, and should be desired by every believer. ( I Cor. 12: 1-11 , I Cor. 14: 12 ) The Fruits of the Spirit will become evident in the believer’s life. ( Gal. 5:22-23 , Romans 12:6-8 )
VII.DIVINE HEALING IN THE ATONEMENT. “Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses ,” and “ with His stripes we are healed.” ( Isaiah 53:4-5 ) It is our privilege to lay hands on the sick and to anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord and “ the prayer of faith shall save the sick , and the Lord shall raise him up.” ( James 5:14-16 , Acts 4:29-30 , Matt. 8:17 )
VIII. THE PRE - MILLENNIAL SECOND COMING. (A) THE RAPTURE - Jesus Christ shall return in the air for all His saints, first to resurrect those who have died in the Lord and give them a new body, and second to change the living into a new body, and catch them all away to be with Him. ( I Thess. 4:13-18, I Cor. 15:51-52) (B) THE REIGN OF OUR LORD - The return of our Lord with His Raptured Saints to set up His Millennial Reign on earth, is the promise of the Word of God and the world’s only hope.( II Thess. 1:7 , Romans 11:26, 27 , Revelation 19:11-14 , 20:1-7 )
IX. THE RESURRECTION of the crucified body of our Lord. The resurrection of the just before the thousand years of peace, and the unjust after the thousand years of peace. (Acts 2:22-24 , Rom. 8:34 , Dan. 12:2,3 , Rev. 20:4,5 )
X. HEAVEN - Heaven is a place prepared for all those that believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, accept Him as their Saviour, and serve Him as their Lord. Their reward is everlasting life and joy in the presence of the Lord. ( John 14:2 , Revelation 7:14-17, 21:4 , 22:5 )
XI. HELL - Hell is a place prepared for those who have rejected the mercy of the crucified Saviour. They shall be cast into outer darkness, where there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Their punishment is eternal grief, regret and torment from which there is no escape. ( Matt 13:41-42 ,Rev. 20:10-15 , Luke 16:23 )
XII. ORDINANCES- The Lord’s supper should be observed. ( Luke 22: 19-20 , I Cor. 11:23-26 ) Water Baptism by immersion, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. ( Matt, 28:19, Matt. 3: 1-17 , Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-4 )
XIII.NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH - According to His promise, we look for a new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. ( II Peter 3:12 , Revelation 21:1 )
XIV. MINISTRY AND EVANGELISM - We believe in a ministry divinely called by our Lord, for the expressed purpose of soul winning and the carrying of the Everlasting Gospel to the whole world. ( Matthew 28:19-20 , 4:18-22, Acts 2:47, Acts13:2 )
XV. CHURCH RELATIONSHIP - The church is the Body of Christ and that every believer born of the Spirit is a member of that Body, whose names are written in Heaven; and that it is the duty of the believer to identify himself with the visible church upon earth, which is a company of believers associated together for the salvation of souls, and endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace. ( Eph. 5:23, 26, 32 , Romans 12:5 , I Cor. 12:13 , Matt. 17:26 )
