The Truth & Life Tabernacle believes that there is one God, who has revealed Himself as Father; through His Son, in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit, by emanation. He is both God and man. (See Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.) We believe that saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessaloni
ans 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection). (See I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.) We believe that Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (See II Timothy 3:15-17.) Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (See Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.) As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (See Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10.) The General Conference of the United Pentecostal Church International is an annual conference, happening yearly since 1945, and is the highest governing body of the UPCI. Attendees of the conference conduct business, receive training, network with colleagues, participate in worship sessions, and raise funds for various ministries.
