WE BELIEVE
Acts 2:42
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship with one another, the breaking of bread and prayer.
==========================
In one true and living God, eternally existing and revealed to us as the Father, Creator of all things; the Son, Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, and the Holy Spirit.
In the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, death for our sins, bodily resurrection, ascension unto God, and imminent return in power and glory.
The Holy Scriptures are the inspired record and instruction providing a complete revelation of God’s will concerning man’s salvation by faith through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are saved solely through faith in God’s grace as displayed in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In water baptism as a public declaration that a believer has died with Christ and risen with Him to walk a life of holiness and love.
We believe that the fullness of God the Father was in God the Son while on earth. Jesus was and is the exact representation of the Father. He clearly revealed the character, nature and will of the Father as recorded in the Gospels. Therefore the earthly life and ministry of Jesus Christ is perfect theology. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)
In the unity of all true believers (in Christ alone) as members of the universal body of Christ regardless of denominational affiliation.
In the celebration of the Lord’s Supper as a remembrance of Jesus death.
In that God is our physical Healer (Jehovah Rapha) as unequivocally exemplified in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ while in the flesh. ALL who came to Him then were healed. “Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever.” (Heb. 13:8) And “By His stripes we WERE healed.” (1 Peter2:24) It is finished. All who believe it to be already done in faith will see healing manifest if we continue in what we believe. Therefore, we believe that healing is always God’s will (as much as is salvation) for those who truly believe “…and do not waver.” (James 1:6) Any contrary evidence or experience to God’s unchangeable character and nature do not bring into question His will; rather other reasons whether known or unknown for lack of result. “We walk by faith.” (2 Corinthians 5:7)
In the ministry of the Holy Spirit: To convict the world of sin and unto salvation. i. by the inward witness of salvation to the believer. ii. by daily guidance and the growth of Christ-like character. iii. by the baptism of the Spirit with endued power, an experience distinct from and following the new birth, predominantly evidenced by the ability to speak with other tongues and the manifestation of spiritual power in our public witness, testimony and service. iv. by the manifestation of the supernatural gifts of the Spirit as listed in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.
In that Jesus Christ is coming again to gather all His saints to Himself. Those who have rejected His redemptive work on their behalf will incur eternal separation from the Godhead and burn in the lake of fire. That following His return Jesus Christ will rule and reign for one thousand years on the earth. After this, there will be a new heaven and a new earth where the Saints will rule and reign with Christ Jesus forever and ever more.
