The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to men, the infallible rule of

faith and conduct, and superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason (2

Tim. 4:1-5; 1 Pet. 1:22-25; Heb. 4:12).

The One True God

The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed “I AM,”

and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and

association, by simultaneously existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Mark

12:29; Isa. 43:10, 11; Matt. 28:19-20, John 15:14)

Man’s Fall and Redemption

Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in our image and after

our likeness.” Man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in

Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31; Gen. 3:17; Ro. 5:12-21).

The Salvation of Man

Conditions of Salvation

The Grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of

repentance toward God and through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the

washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, and being justified by grace, has

become heir of God according to the hope of eternal life (Titus 2:11; 3:5-7; Ro. 10:13-15;

Luke 24:47, James 2:14-26)

Evidences of Salvation

The inward evidence to the believer of his/her salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit

(Ro. 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of holiness (1 Thess. 4:7, 2 Tim.1:8-9).

Baptism in Water

The ordinance of baptism by burial with Christ should be observed (as commanded in the

Scriptures) by all that have repented of their sins and in their hearts have believed on

Christ as their Savior and Lord. In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died

with Christ and that they have also been released to walk with Him in newness of life (Matt.

28:19; Ro. 6:4).

The Lord’s Supper (Communion)

The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and fruit of the vine, is the symbol

expressing our sharing in a memorial to His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His

second coming, and is enjoined to all believers “until He comes” (John 6:48,51,53-57; Luke

22:19,20; 2 Pet. 1:1-4; 1 Cor. 11:25).

The Promise of the Father

All believers should ardently expect and earnestly seek the Promise of the Father, which is

the baptism in the Holy Spirit. With it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and

the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts

1:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:1-31). This experience may be distinct from and subsequent to the

experience of the New Birth (Acts 2:38-39; 10:44-46; 11:13-16; 15:7-9).

Sanctification Process

By the power of the Holy Spirit we strive to obey the command, “Be ye holy, for I am holy.”

Sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by

walking in obedience to God’s Word (Heb. 12:14; 1 Pet. 1:15, 16; 1 Thess. 5:23, 24; 1 John

2:6).

The Church

The church is the holy Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine

appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer is an integral part

of the church, and their names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (I Thess. 2:4)

Ministry

Divinely called and Scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a two-

fold purpose: (1) The evangelization of the world, and (2) The edification of the Body of

Christ (Mark 16:15, 20; Eph. 4:10-16).

Divine Healing

Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of

all believers (Isa. 53:4, 5;17; Mark 16:15-18).

The Blessed Hope

The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation, together

with those who are alive and remain unto the Lord, is imminent and is the blessed hope of

the church (1 Thess. 4:16; Ro. 6:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor. 15:51,52).

The Millennial Reign of Jesus

The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven, the salvation of national Israel, and the

millennial reign of Christ on the earth are Scriptural promises and our hope (2 Thess. 1:7;

Rev. 19:1l-16; Ro. 11:25; Rev. 20:l-7).

The Lake of Fire

The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and whosoever is not found

written in the Lamb’s Book of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake

which burns fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Rev. 19:20; 20:10-15).

The New Heavens and New Earth

We, as promised in the Scriptures, look for a new heavens and a new earth wherein

righteousness dwells (2 Pet. 3:13; Rev. 21: l).

Homosexuality

This organization is vehemently opposed to a homosexual lifestyle as being an alternative

lifestyle. Additionally, this organization holds that a homosexual lifestyle is contrary to

God’s will and purpose for humanity. The Bible instructs that all sin leads to death,

 including homosexuality. Moreover, this organization is instructed

 to love those living such lifestyles, while abhorring their sin. 1 Cor 6:9; Leviticus 20:13. 

This organization will not perform any homosexual marriages. 

It will not condone or recognize such marriages, even if the state

passes laws that provide for recognition of such unions. Any minister ordained by this

organization is forbidden to practice such sin, nor to perform such marriages.
