The Tenets of Our Faith
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16, Proverbs 30:5, 1 Peter 1:23).
The Trinity
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, 1 John 5:7).
Jesus the Christ
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1-14), in His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23), in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 1:1-14), and in the blessed hope of His personal, visible return to the earth to receive to Himself His blood bought Church so that we may be with Him forever (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17).
Salvation
We believe that repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ are the only means whereby God cleanses sinners of sin (2 Corinthians 7:10; Romans 3:5). We also believe the regeneration of the Holy Spirit is essential for personal salvation (Titus 3:5).
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
We believe Jesus baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit when they ask Him in faith (Acts 2:32-33; Luke 11:13). Moreover, we believe the ability to speak in an unknown language (tongue), as the Spirit gives utterance, is the initial sign of being baptized in the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4).
Prosperity and Health
We believe the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides not only redemption from sin and eternal death but also redemption from sickness and poverty (Galatians 3:13-14). Hence, we believe that abundance and prosperity are the will of God for every believer so that we, the church, can finance the Great Commission, bless others, and enjoy life (2 Corinthians 9:8).
Holiness
We believe Christians can live holy lives, free of fleshly lusts and habits, by walking in their recreated human spirits (Galatians 5:16), renewing their minds (Ephesians 4:22-24), and controlling the desires and cravings of their bodies (1 Corinthians 9:27).
Heaven and Hell
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost — the saved to everlasting life and the lost to everlasting damnation and torment (Revelation 20:11-15).
