The
Church accepts the Scripture as the revealed will of God,
and adopts these Statements of Fundamental Truths and Doctrine:
- The
Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will
of God (2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Pet. 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12).
- There
is one true Godhead comprised of the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. All are co-equal (Matt. 28:19, 1 John 5:7). Jesus
Christ, God manifested in the flesh, is the second member
of the Godhead (Is. 9:6; John 1:1, 14).
- Man
was created in God's image. By voluntary transgression,
he fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ,
the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-21).
- Salvation
of Man:
- Man's
only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of
Jesus Christ. On the cross, Jesus became sin and sickness,
providing both salvation and healing for all mankind
(Ps. 103:3). This salvation comes by believing in your
heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing
with your mouth that Jesus is Lord (Rom. 3:24, 10:8-10:
Eph. 2:8).
- The
inward evidence to the believer is the direct witness
of the Spirit (Rom. 8:16). The outward evidence to all
men is a life of true holiness and love (1 John 3:23;
John 13:35).
- Salvation
comes by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works;
however, our works are evidence of our faith and will
determine our rewards in eternity (Acts 16:3; Rom. 10:9-10,
14:10-12; 2 Cor. 5:10; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; James
2:18).
- Baptism in
water is a declaration to the world that believers have
died with Christ and that they have been raised with Him
to walk in newness of life (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48;
Rom. 6:4).
- The
celebration of the Lord's Supper by eating of the bread
and drinking of the cup is a rememberance of Jesus' sacrifice
for us (1 Cor. 11:24-30).
- All
believers are entitled to, should ardently expect, and earnestly
seek the promise of the Father, that is the Baptism of the
Holy Spirit, according to the command of Jesus Christ. With
this comes the endowment of power for life and service and
the bestowal of gifts and their uses in the work of the
ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent
to the experience of the new birth (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8,
2:38-39, 10:44-46, 11:14-16, 15:7-9; 1 Cor. 12:1-31).
- The
evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit: the full consummation
baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by
the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues
as the Spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation
of spiritual power in public testimony and service (Acts
1:8, 2:4, 10:44-46, 19:2-6).
-
The
Church is the Body of Christ. Each believer is an integral
part (Eph. 1:22, 2:19-22; Heb. 12:23).
-
Total
Prosperity:
-
Spiritual (John 3:3, 11; 2 Cor. 5:7-31;
Rom. 10:9-10)
-
Mental (2 Tim. 1:7; Rom. 12:2; Is.
26:3)
-
Physical (Is. 53:4,5: Matt. 8:17;
1 Pet. 2:24)
-
Financial - the belief in the scriptual
principle of tithing according to the Word of God;
therefore, ten percent (10%) of my income belongs
to my local church (3 John 1:2; Mal. 3:10-11; Luke
6:38; 2 Cor. 9:6-10; Deut. 28:1-14)
-
Social (Prov. 3:4)
- Blessed
hope: Jesus is coming again to gather all His Saints to
Heaven (1 Cor. 15:51-62; 1 Thes. 4:16-17; 2 Thes. 2:1).
- Those who
have not personally accepted the redemptive work of Jesus
Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead.
They will burn in the lake of fire (Rev. 19:20, 20:10-15).
- The Millennial
Reign of Jesus: our Lord Jesus Christ will return with His
Saints from Heaven to rule and reign for one thousand years
on earth as the Scripture has promised (Rom. 11:25, 27;
2 Thes. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16, 10:1-7). After this, there will
be a new heaven and a new earth (Rev. 21:1)
