The Bible
The Bible
 is the inspired Word of God and is of the highest Authority. It contains a true account of historical events, and has no errors.

God

There is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), in the son (Savior), and as the Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit).


Sin
Sin
is disobeying the law, or commandments of God (I John 3:4).Everyone has sinned. (Romans 3:23). The consequence of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

Salvation

The New Testament experience of salvation consists of repentance from sin, water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:36-41).

Repentance

Repentance is a change of direction, from following our own desires to following God

Water Baptism
Water baptism
is an essential part of salvation and not merely a symbolic ritual. It is not just a part of local church membership. (John 3:5; Galatians 3:27).

Mode of Baptism
We baptize under full immersion of water in Jesus name as the Lord commanded & as the Apostles did in the book of Acts.


Baptism of the Holy Spirit
The baptism of the Holy Ghost is the spirit part of new birth. It is necessary for salvation. (John 3:5). The Holy Ghost was first poured out on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4).

Tongues
Speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gives the ability, is the sign God has given us, for the baptism of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4; 10:46; 19:6).

Holiness
Without holiness no one shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). We should earnestly seek to be like Jesus and follow His
​teachings.

Divine Healing

Jesus went everywhere healing those who were sick (Matthew 4:23-24), and He commanded His disciples to do the same (Matthew 10:8). He said concerning those who believe the gospel, "They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mark 16:18).


Second Coming of Christ

Jesus Christ is coming back to Earth in bodily form, just as He went away (Acts 1:11).
