We believe the Bible (Scripture) is the mind and the plan of God revealed. All that we need to know about God is written in the Bible. (II Timothy 3:16-17)

We believe in One God (Strict Monotheism). He is the Eternal and the Infinite One. (Isaiah 42:8; 43:11; 45:5-6)

We embrace the doctrine of

the Trinity as a plausible explanation relative to the composition of the Godhead; however, we believe that the Trinity/Godhead is best explained through Oneness Theology. There is only one Eternal "Spirit-Being" God (Isaiah 44:6, 24), who is pleased to manifest Himself in many ways but most particularly as the Father (I Corinthians 8:6), the Son (Colossians 1:12-20) and the Holy Ghost (St. He is personified and distinct in operation but not separate in the economy of His Divinity. The Father is God positionally. He precedes all things and all things have come from Him. He is Immutable, Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. There is no place in the universe where God is not present. The Son is the eternal Word of God and the visible manifestation of God the Father (St. John 1:1, 14; 14:6-9). The Holy Spirit is the nature of God, the Spirit of Truth, the energizer of life and movement. He indwells, empowers, and guides the Believer into all truth. John 16:13-16)

We believe that salvation is for all those who hear, believe and respond affirmatively to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. John 3:16)

New Birth is accomplished when one accepts the finished work of Christ, repents of sin and confesses the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. Water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ according to Acts 2:38; 19:5-6, Matthew 28:19 and being filled with the gift of the Holy Spirit is an immediate response to new birth. The conflict between Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38; 8:16; 10:48 and 19:5 continues to be problematic among Christians today. However, some have moved away from this perceived conflict. Water baptism is a divine requirement and the name of JESUS should be invoked over all believers when they are being baptized. Clearly, neither Matthew 28:19 nor the accounts in Acts are inappropriate or derogatory statements. Therefore, the variance over which name to use for baptism can be settled by invoking, "I now baptize you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ - in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. "This is a resolution, not a compromise and can be invoked over the believer within ten seconds. Thus, we have moved away from this age old conflict relative to which name to use when administering water baptism. The ultimate sign of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is when one supernaturally speaks in tongues (other languages) as the Spirit of God gives the utterance. (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46)

The believer should strive to live a victorious life through holiness and sanctification of oneself. (Hebrews 12:14)

We believe in the rapture, the second coming of Christ and the final judgment of the quick (living) and the dead. (I Thessalonians. 4:16-18; II Timothy 4:1; Revelations 20:1-5, 20:7-15)
