DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

We Believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible (unalterable) Word of God, written by holy men of old, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

We Believe in one God who is infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purposes, as well as omniscient and omnipresent.

We Believe that He was revealed to us as Father in creation, as Son in redemption, and as the Holy Spirit in His comforting grace that never leaves those who trust Him.

We Believe that in Jesus, dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, for it pleased the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell.

We Believe in the virgin birth.  Jesus was both human and divine.  He was God manifested in the flesh.

We Believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.  We believe that He ascended on high and has sent His Spirit (the Holy Ghost), which was poured out at Jerusalem over 1900 years ago, and it is this same Spirit that is filling the hearts of those who diligently seek Him today.

We Believe in baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.  This constitutes the new birth.

We Believe in a holy, sanctified life.  We believe in divine healing, communion and foot washing.  We believe also in the glorious catching away of the saints when Jesus returns in the clouds in glory to take His people to heaven (the Rapture).

Our Chief Aim is to glorify the Savior, who is Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

NEW TESTAMENT PLAN OF SALVATION

Step 1: Repentance

Jesus died and so must we by repentance. Have faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior and repent. Believe Jesus Christ is Lord and died for you. Be sorry for your sins and recognize your need of the Savior in Acts 3:19. Determine to turn from sin and give your life completely to Him. 

Not to be confused with: Salvation itself. Believing is necessary and leads to the other steps. See Acts 8:12-17 and Acts 11:14-18.

Step 2: Water Baptism

 Jesus was buried and so must we by baptism. Be baptized by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ. Be buried with him by total immersion in water. Have the saving name of Jesus Christ pronounced over you as in Acts 22:16. Obtain remission of sins in baptism through obedience and faith in His name.

Not to be confused with: Repeating the titles “Father, Son, Holy Ghost” and sprinkling or pouring. See Acts 8:35-38 and Acts 19:1-6.

Step 3: Baptism of the Holy Ghost

Jesus rose and so must we by receiving the Holy Ghost. Receive the Holy Ghost baptism evidenced by tongues. Meet the conditions of repentance, faith and obedience. Believe God has promised it and that you can receive it as in Acts 2:4. Know that tongues is the initial evidence of receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Not to be confused with: Tongues as a prayer language or one of the optional gifts of the Spirit. See John 7:38-39 and Acts 10:44-48.
