OUR FUNDAMENTALS

A. The Scriptures.

The bible is the infallible word of God. The scriptures are the very words and spirit of God.

Holy men of God wrote the word as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. We believe in both the New and Old Testament (11 Timothy 3:16, II PETER 1:21).

 

B. The Godhead.

God is one but he manifested himself in three distinct forms- The father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17).

 

C. Man-His Fall and Redemption.

Man fell and died spiritually-becoming separated from God (Adam). Causing all to be impacted by the consequences of sin Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for the sins of mankind. His sacrificial death (and his blood has redeemed and restored mankind back to God. (Romans 5:12, Romans 3:23, Romans 3:23, John 3:16. Salvation then is a free gift of God available to all that believe in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8).

 

D. Eternal Life and New Birth

The new birth is the initial step toward salvation. It is necessary for all to enter into the Lord's Kingdom. (1 John 5:12, John 3: 3-5)

 

E. Water Baptism

A direct commandment of the Lord. It is symbolic of the Lords death, burial, and resurrection and also the new godly life of the believer.

(Matthew 28:19, Romans 6: 14)

 

F. Baptism in the Holy Ghost

A free gift from God. Available to all believers who accept Jesus Christ as Lord. It is the spirit of God that endows the believer with power to live for God and Christian service (Matthew

3:11; John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:28-39, Acts 2:4)

 

G. Sanctification

A process of a believing being set apart unto God. A progressive work of grace continuing to the consummation of salvation in the life of the believer (Hebrew 12:14, 1 Thess 5:23, 11

Peter 3:18, II Cor. 3:18, Philippians 3:14).

 

H. Divine Healing

Healing is a covenant right for all believers by faith. It was provided to us by the atonement of Christ ( Mark 16:18; James 5;14-20, I Peter 2:24, Matthew 8:17)

 

I. Hell and Eternal Retribution

The one who refuses to accept Jesus as his personal savior is doomed to a life eternally lost in the lake of fire Hell or Hades (Hebrews 9:27, Rev 19:20, Hebrews 6:1-2).

 

J. Resurrection of the just at the return of Jesus

The secoming of the Lord is imminent. When he comes the dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive shall be called up to meet him in the air (Acts 1:11, I Thess.

4:16-17).

 

K. Communion and the Lords Supper

We commemorated the death of our lord lesus Christ. The bread symbolizes his broken body. The cup represents the New Testament in his blood which provides forgiveness and healing to the believer. (1 Cor: 11-23-31, Isaiah 53:5).

 

L. Laying on of Hands

A belief that power, blessings, and healing can be transmitted to another from touching or laying on of hands. (Mark 10;13-16, Mark 5;22, 23, 41; Acts 28:8, Acts 19:11-12, 1 Tim.
