STATEMENT OF FAITH

 

We believe that there is one God eternally existence in three persons: God the Father, the Word (Son), and the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit). (1 Jn. 5:7)

 

We believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired and only infallible Word of God. (2 Ti. 3:16)

 

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8&9), believing and confessing in the Lord Jesus and His resurrection (Ro. 10:9&10).  That one must repent of his sins (Luk. 13:3) calling on the name of the Lord (Ro.10:13) and that water baptism is essential to salvation. (Mk. 16:16, Ac. 2:21&38)

 

We believe that the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross, faith in Him, asking in prayer, believing, and anointing with oil, provides healing and deliverance.  We also believe that by His stripes we were/ are spiritually healed, and that there is physical healing of our temple per Ja. 5:13-16 and Mrk. 16:18 - laying hands on the sick and also through the gifts of healing-1Co. 12:9. (1Pe. 2:24, Is. 53:5, Tit. 2:14, Ja. 5:14, Mt. 21:22)

 

We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, which is given to believers who obey God.  We believe in the acts of Pentecost and speaking in other and unknown tongues. We believe in what occurred in Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Ghost (Spirit) filled all that were gathered and they all spoke with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.  Further, we fully accept the teachings of 1Co. 12:10 and all Biblical teachings referencing the gifts of the Holy Spirit; to include 1 Co.14th chap. (Ac.1:8, Ac. 2:1-4, Ac. 5:32, Ac. 10:44-48, Ac. 19:1-12)

 

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost by whose indwelling the Saints are enabled to live a holy and separated life in this present world. (Eze. 36:27, Ro. 15:16, He.10:10, 1Pe. 1:2)

 

We believe in the teaching and administration of the Gospels and that all the gifts of the Holy Ghost are operative today. (He. 13:8, 1Co.12) 

 

We believe in the blessed hope, which is the rapture of the Church upon Jesus Christ's return.  We also believe the holy Bible’s teachings on eschatology - end time doctrine (heaven and hell). (1Th. 4:13-17, Tit. 2:13, Rev 1st, 20, 21 & 22nd Chapters)
