We Believe...

 
  1. We believe the Bible is verbally inspired by God. 2nd Tim 3:16; 2nd Peter 1:20,21
  2. We believe in one God who manifested himself in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Gen 1:26; James 2:19; Matt 28:19; Matt 3:16,17; Gal 4:6, 1 John 5:7
  3. We believe Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. He is the only begotten Son of God. Matt 1:20-23
  4. We believe Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. Today he sits at the right hand of God as the Intercessor. Matt 17:22,23; Luke 24:3-6; Rom 8:34
  5. We believe we are all sinners saved by grace. We believe in the New Birth. We all fall short of the glory of God and repentance is the only way to receive forgiveness. John 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23; 1 John 3:9; Mark 1:15;  Luke 13:3; Acts 3:19
  6. We believe sanctification is both immediate through the new birth by the blood of Jesus Christ and progressive daily through the Word of God. Romans 5:2; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Hebrews 13:12
  7. We believe Holiness is a lifestyle and not a denomination. It is God's desire for His people. Luke 1:75; 1 Thessalonians 4:7; Hebrews 12:14
  8. We believe in being baptized in water by immersion. Every believer should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost immediately after salvation. Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:9, 1 0; John 3:22, 23; Acts 8:36, 38
  9. We believe in the baptism with the Holy Ghost. Matt 3:11, Luke 24:49,53, Acts 1:4-8, Acts 2:1-18
  10. We believe in speaking with other tongues as the spirit of God gives the utterance. Tongues cannot be taught by man. It is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost. Matthew 3:11; Luke 24:49, 53; Acts 1:4-8;  John 15:26; Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:1-7

  13. We believe the Fruit of the Spirit should be visible in all who are born again. Romans 6:22; Galatians 5:22, 23; Ephesians 5:9; Philippians 1: 11

  18. We believe in the resurrection where the spirit and the body will be reunited. John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15; Revelation 20:5, 6
  19. We believe in the pre-millennial second coming of Jesus to reign on the earth a thousand years. Zechariah 14:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:14; 2  Thessalonians 1:7-10; Jude 14, 15; Revelation 5:10; 19:11-21;   20:4-6
