What Are Our Doctrinal Beliefs

The Word of God

The Bible is the infallible Word of God as taught and revealed by the Holy Ghost. (John 14:26; I Corinthians 2:9-13). “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for Doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works”. (II Timothy 3:16, 17)

The Godhead 

We fully believe the mystery of the Godhead. We believe that Jesus was both human and divine, and further, that the Godhead be understood to mean all of the fullness of God. (Colossians 1:19; 2:9) We believe that Jesus was Mary’s son and Mary’s God, Creator and creature, God manifest in the flesh; That Jesus was the Eternal Father made visible, apart from whom there is no God. We believe that at the final consummation of all things there will be only God, and that will be our Lord Jesus Christ.

Repentance and Remission of Sins

The only grounds upon which God will accept a sinner is repentance from the heart for the sins that he has committed. “A broken and a contrite heart, He will not despise.” (Psalms 51:17) Jesus said that repentance and remission of sins, should be preached in His name in all nations, beginning at Jerusalem (Luke 24) and Peter fulfilled this command on the day of Pentecost (See also Acts 2).

Salvation

The New Birth (being born again) is God’s standard for salvation to mean repentance of ones sins, the baptism in water by emersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remissions of sins, and the receiving of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. (Acts 2:38; 4:12; 8:12-17; 10:43-48; 19:1-6).  

Living a Sanctified Life

We believe that in order to escape the judgment of God and to have the hope of enjoying the glory of the eternal, one must be thoroughly saved from his sins, wholly sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost. And that a wholly sanctified life is the only true standard of Christian life. (Hebrews 12:14; I Peter 1:15-17)

The Coming of Christ

That Jesus is coming to rapture the saints in these last days as taught by the Apostles (See Matthew 24:1; Acts 1:11; 3:19, 21; I Corinthians 1:7, 8; 11:26; Philippians 3:20, 21; I Thessalonians 4:14-17; Titus 2:13, 14)
