The Bible is the infallible, inspired, written Word of God and is the final authority in all things relating to Doctrine and Faith. (I Thessalonians 2:13; II Timothy 3:1617; II Peter 1:21)
-
The one true God has revealed himself as the eternally selfexistent "I AM" manifested in three persons as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, which is the basis for the doctrine of the Trinity. (I John 5:7).
-
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, and the Scriptures declare (a) His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31, 35); (b) His sinless life (Hebrews 7:26: I Peter 2:22); (c) His miracles (Acts 2:22; Acts 10:38; (d) His substitutionary work on the Cross (I Corinthians 15:3; II Corinthians 5:21); (e) His bodily resurrection from the dead (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; I Corinthians 15:4); (f) His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9,11; Acts 2:33; Phillipians 2:911; Hebrews 1:3).
-
Man was created in the image of God and through man's transgression, he fell from grace and incurred not only physical death but spiritual death as well, which is eternal separation from God, thereby making God's work of redemption necessary.
-
Mankind's only hope of Redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, through grace not works, and it comes only when a person repents of his sin, believes in his heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God raised from the dead and acknowledges openly before men that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior of his life, by which he becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life. (John 3:3; Romans 10:911, Ephesians 2:89; Titus 3:57).
-
All believers are entitled to and should earnestly expect and seek the promise of the Father, being the baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ, as this was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church and is available to all believers today. With the Baptism of the Holy Spirit come the endowment of power for life and service and the bestowment of supernatural gifts for use in the work of the ministry. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8; Acts 2:14; I Corinthians 12:131).

Our Lord Jesus Christ shall return in the second coming, which will include the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to establish His Kingdom upon the Earth for a thousand years. (Zechariah 14:5; Matthew 24:27,30; Revelation 1:7; 19:1114; 20:16) After the millennial reign, will come the final judgment of God (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:4348; Revelation 19:20; 20:15; 21:8) and "We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." (2 Peter 3:13; see also Revelation 21 and 22)
