WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Tenets of Faith
We believe the following:
The Scriptures: The inspired, infallible, revealed will of God. (Tim. 3:15-17, Heb. 4;12, I Peter: 1:23-25)
The One True God: A triune being, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. (Deut. 6:4; Mark 12:29)
Man: Also triune: spirit soul and body. Created good, upright, and in the image and likeness of God; voluntarily transgressed and fell. Redempt
ion for him is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Gen. 1:26-31)
The Salvation of Man: The shed blood of Jesus Christ, grace through faith, believing in the heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and confessing that with the mouth, will result in man�s salvation. (Rom. 3:24, 10:8-10 Eph. 2:8)
Water Baptism: An ordinance of the Church symbolizing to the world that one has died with Jesus and has been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47,48; Rom. 6:4)
The Lord�s Supper: An ordinance of the Church symbolizing the broken body and shed blood of Jesus Christ as the new covenant between God and man. (Cor. 11:24,25,28)
The Evidence of the Infilling of the Holy Ghost: As a fulfillment of the promise of the Father by the initial physical sign of speaking in other tongues as the spirit gives utterance; for the purpose of spiritual power in public testimony and service after the New Birth. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:4, 10:44-46; I Cor. 12:1-31)
The Church: The body of Christ, the home of God through the Spirit. Each believer born of God�s Spirit is an integral part of the general assembly and Church of the first born which is written in heaven. (Eph. 1:22, 2:19-22; Heb. 12:23)
Women in the Ministry: Women are a part of the one Body of Christ which is neither male nor female with gifts differing according to the grace that is in them. (Acts. 18:24-26, 21:8,9 Gal. 3:28; Rom 12:4-6)
Total Prosperity: Spiritual John 3:3,11; II Cor 5:17-21; Mental: II Tim 1:7; Rom. 12:2; Isa. 26:3; Physical: Isa. 53:4,5; Matt. 8:17; I Peter. 2:24;
Financial: III John. 22; Mal. 3:10-11; Social: Prov. 3:4.) The Translation of the Church: �Awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the great God and Savior Jesus Christ�
