What We Believe
 

We believe in the BIBLE to be the inspired Word of God.

We believe that there is ONE GOD, eternally existing in three persons: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST; that Christ is the only begotten Son of God, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Christ died for our sins, was buried, and raised from the dead, that He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor.

We believe that ALL HAVE SINNED and come short of the glory of God. And that repentance is necessary for the forgiveness of sins.

We believe that JUSTIFICATION IS BY FAITH, and that regeneration or the new-birth through faith is in the blood of Christ is absolutely essential.

We believe in the SANCTIFICATION as subsequent to regeneration and is a definite act of grace; obtained by faith on the part of the fully justified believer.

We believe that the PENTECOSTAL BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS AN ENDUEMENT OF POWER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CLEAN HEARTS, and the initial evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.

We believe that the saved should receive WATER BAPTISM, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, as a testimony to the world that he has accepted
Christ as Savior and Lord.

We believe in DIVINE HEALING as provided in the Atonement.

We believe in the SACRAMENT OF THE LORD´S SUPPER as commemorating Christ’s death and anticipating His Second Coming. And feet washing.

We believe in the PERSONAL, PRE-MILLENIAL, SECOND COMING OF CHRIST; first, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to meet Him in the air; second, to reign with His saints on earth a thousand years.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of BOTH SAVED AND THE LOST; the saved to life eternal, and the lost to everlasting punishment.
