Tenets of Faith

 1. The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the inerrant, infallible, authoritative, and ultimate rule of faith and conduct.

2. The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM”. The Creator of Heaven and Earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principle of relationship and association as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

3. The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.

          A. His Virgin Birth

          B. His Sinless Life

          C. His Miracles

          D. His Substitutionary Work on the Cross

          E. His Bodily Resurrection from the Dead

          F. His Exaltation to the Right Hand of God

4. Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.

5. Man’s only hope of Redemption and Salvation is through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

6. The ordinances of the church:

          A. Baptism in Water by Immersion

          B. Holy Communion

7. The Baptism in the Holy Ghost. All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire, according to the command of the Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the Early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.  The Baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.

8. Sanctification is the act of separation from that which is evil, and full dedication unto God.

9. The Church is the Body of Christ, the Habitation of God through the Spirit, with Divine appointments for the fulfillment of Her great commission.

10. In Divine Healing, and that it is an integral part of the Gospel. It is provided for in the Atonement and is the privilege of all Believers.

11. The Resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ, together with the Translation of Believers who are alive and remain unto the Coming of the Lord, into a glorified body. This is the imminent Hope of the church.

12. In the Second Coming of Christ which includes the Rapture of the Saints. This is our Blessed Hope, followed by the visible Return of Christ with His Saints to reign on this earth for one thousand years.

13. There will be a final judgement in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the Devil and his angels, the Beast and the False Prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the Second Death.

14. We, according to His Promise, look for a new Heaven and new Earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
