The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM,” the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association through the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 43:10,11, Matthew 28:19, Luke 3:22

Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness.” However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.

Genesis 1:26,27, Genesis 2:17, Genesis 3:6, Romans 5:12-19, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23

The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness and our sins, enabling all those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is death.

1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians 1:20; Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:9; John 1:29

Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word, His Spirit, and Will in order to complete the development of Christ’s character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

Matt 7:21-23, Romans 12:1,2, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Eph 5:8, Col 1:10-15,, 1 John 1:7, Hebrews 2:11, Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 12:14

Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by the faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 6:1-11, Romans 6:13, Romans 8:1,2, Romans 8:13, Galatians 2:20, Philippians 2:12,13, 1 Peter 1:5

The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus’ great commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is not only an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers but have become a sons/daughter of God. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23, Romans 8:14-17

Church Purpose and Mission on Earth

• To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world (Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:19,20, Mark 16:15,16).
• To be a corporate body in which man may worship God (1 Corinthians 12:13).
• To be a channel of God’s purpose to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son (Ephesians 4:11-16, 1 Corinthians 12:28, 1 Corinthians 14:12).
• To be a people who demonstrate God’s love and compassion for all the world (Psalms 112:9, Galatians 2:10; 6:10, James 1:27).

The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.

Zechariah 14:5, Matthew 24:27, Matthew 24:30, Revelation 1:7, Revelation 19:11-14, Revelation 20:1-6

This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel, (Ezekiel 37:21,22, Zephaniah 3:19,20, Romans 11:26,27) and the establishment of universal peace. (Isaiah 11:6-9, Psalms 72:3-8, Micah 4:3,4)

The Holy Spirit is Divine, the third person in the Godhead, and sent by God through Jesus to regenerate the spirit of them that believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. He convinces the world of sin, of righteousness, judgment, and bears witness of the sonship of believers. He indwells, guides, and teaches believers with purpose of transforming through sanctification. In addition, The Holy Spirit empowers and enables believers to know and carry out the Will of God, The Father.

John 14:15-18, John 16:13; Acts 1:8, John 16:7-11, Romans 8:11-16, 1 Cor 2:9-10

Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. Jesus, sent by God, The Father, is 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.

John 1:1,14, 3:13, 6:38-40, 20:28; 1Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; 1Timothy 2:5

Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God for atonement of sin.

Salvation is received only through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the sacrifice and atonement through Jesus, regeneration and renewing of man’s spirit takes place by the Holy Spirit. Being justified by grace through faith, man becomes a child/heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.

Luke 24:47, John 3:3, John 14:6, Romans 3:23-26, Romans 10:13-15, Ephesians 2:8-9, Col 1:12-14, Titus 2:11, Titus 3:5-7

It is the Will of God that all believers be filled with the Holy Spirit. Believers are entitled to, should ardently expect, and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. With it comes the enduement of power for holy living to be an effective witness for Jesus Christ, the bestowment of the Holy Spirit’s gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry as He wills.

Joel 2:28-29, Matt 3:11, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

This experience is subsequent and distinct from the experience of spiritual regeneration (at conversion), and progressive (recurring) throughout the life of a believer.

Acts 8:12-17, Acts 10:44-46, Acts 11:14-16, Acts 15:7-9, Acts 19:1-6

With the baptism in the Holy Spirit come such experiences as:

• An overflowing fullness of the Spirit, John 7:37-39, Acts 4:8
• A deepened reverence for God, Acts 2:43, Hebrews 12:28
• An intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work, Acts 2:42

The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.

1 Thessalonians 4:16,17, Romans 8:23, Titus 2:13, 1 Corinthians 15:51,52, Revelations 20:4-6
