WHAT WE BELIEVE
FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINE
The basic and fundamental doctrine shall be the Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for there mission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
About the Bible
The Bible is the infallible word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
About God
There is one God, who has revealed himself as our father, in his son Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16).
About Sin and Salvation
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9).
About the Gospel
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (Resurrection) (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4).
About Christian Living
As Christians, we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today (Mark 12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12:8-10).
About the Future
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15).
OUR WORSHIP
We pray together aloud because in the Bible we read, “they lifted up their voice to God with one accord.” (Acts 4:24)
We lift our hands in praise because in the Bible we read, “lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.” (Psalm 134:2)
We sing with all our hearts because in the Bible we read, “make a joyful noise until the Lord, all the earth; make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.” (Psalm 98:4)
We play musical instruments because in the Bible we read, “and all the house of Israel played before the Lord in all manner of instruments.” (2 Samuel 6:5)
We dance before the Lord because in the Bible we read, “Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: praise Him with the stringed instruments and organs.” (Psalm 150:4)
We testify publicly because in the Bible we read, “I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.” (Psalm 22:22)
We anoint with oil for divine healing because in the Bible we read, “is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” (James 5:14)
We allow the operation of the spiritual gifts because in the Bible we read, “when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation.” (1 Corinthians 14:26)
