Tenets of Faith

We believe in one Triune God – who is manifested in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that He created all things.  (Deuteronomy 6:4; Nehemiah 9:6; I John 5:7)
 
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was the only begotten Son of God, the Father, that He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, buried, and resurrected on the third day, subsequently He ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is both fully God and fully man.  (Matthew 1:18, 23; Acts 10:39-40; Romans 8:34; Philippians 2:6-8)
 
We believe that the Bible in its entirety is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We accept the Bible as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to life and doctrine.   (2 Timothy 3:16-17; I Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
 
We believe that all men have sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God.  (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; I John 1:8)
 
We believe there is only one name under heaven in which man may be saved and restored to right relationship with God.  (Acts 4:12; Galatians 3:22)
 
We believe that Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the Law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God.  (Ephesians 2:8-10; I John 1:9).
 
We believe that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Acts 2:21;
Romans 10:8-10, 13)
 
We believe that salvation is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and that it provides for the forgiveness of sin, eternal life, divine health and prosperity in every area of our lives. Shalom.  (Matthew 8:17; John 10:10; I Peter 2:24)
 
We believe in continued sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit.  (Romans 12:2; Titus 3:5)
 
We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, and the laying on of hands.  (Mark 16:18; James 5:14-16)
 
We believe in water baptism by immersion and that it is a direct commandment of our Lord. In this we identify with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.   (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12)
 
We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and that it is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the new birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance. (Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 2:38-39; Acts 19:1-7)
 
We believe in the eminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.   (John 14:3; Acts 1:9-11; Titus 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:16)
