We believe that the Scriptures in the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to all man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:12)
We believe the One true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind, the “I AM”. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).
We believe that the Baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4). The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:4-10, 28), but different in purpose and use.
We believe in water baptism by immersion, submersion and emergence. The believer has been crucified with Christ, buried with Him and raised together with Him to walk in newness of life (Galatians 2:20; Romans 6:4).
We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in I Corinthians 12-14, and as manifested in the early Church. These gifts are to be operated decently and in order. I Corinthians 12:7-11, 14:40
We believe in the healing of the body by Divine healing in its varied aspects practiced in the Early Church. Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; I Corinthians 12:9; James 5:1. Divine Healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness and affliction is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers. Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; James 5:14-16).
We believe in regularly partaking in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion or the Lord’s Supper, for believers. I Corinthians 11:28-32
We believe that the New testament Church ordains elders and deacons, and should be structured under the leadership of apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists as God placed them in the local assembly and the universal church. Ephesians 4:11-14; I Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:5
