STATEMENT OF FAITH
1. Scripture: We accept the Holy Bible (KJV) as the inspired Word of God given to us by holy men of God as a guideline for salvation, Christian living and all truth ( II Timothy 3:16, 17; II Peter 1:20, 21)
2. God: We believe in one, eternal, almighty God. ( James 2:19 )
3. Creation of Man and His Fall:
God created man . Because of disobedience to
God's Word - man fell from his holy estate and God drove Adam and Eve
from the Garden of Eden. Because of this disobedience sin entered into
the world and upon all mankind. (Genesis 1:27; 3:1019; Romans 5:12, 17,
19, and 3: 10-23; Psalms 14:1-3).
4. Repentance and Conversion:
The pardon of one's sins is brought about by true repentance, being
Godly sorrowful for all past sins and truly forsaking all iniquities.
The remission of one's sins is brought about through true repentance
and by being baptized in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ (Romans
5:1; 10:9, 10,13; Acts 10:43; 22:16; I Peter 3:21).
5. Baptism:
The scriptural practice of water baptism is immersion in the name of
the Lord, Jesus Christ and is only for those who have fully repented
and have turned from their sins and their love for the world/worldly
lusts. It should be administered by a duly authorized minister of the
Gospel in obedience to the Holy Bible and must be in the name of the
Lord, Jesus Christ, in accordance to the Acts of the Apostles (Acts
2:38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5), thus obeying Matthew 28:19.
6. Baptism of the Holy Spirit:
We believe, after having obeyed the command of repentance and being
baptized, we shall receive the baptism of the Spirit. John the Baptist
in Matthew 3:11 prophesied: "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire."
7.The Gifts of the Holy Ghost: I Corinthians 12:4-11, "Now
there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are
differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are
diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in
all.
8. Sabbath: We accept every day as God's day. We also accept Sunday as our special day of worship.
9. Righteous and Wicked: We maintain eternal life for the righteous and destruction for the wicked by God's design and discretion.
