The Sacred Scripture
We teach the scriptures as original written are the inspired Word of God and that it is infallible and must be taken as a sum of the whole. We teach the out-and-out authority of the scripture to rule the faith and practice of the affairs of men. We teach that the Bible is God's written revelation to man, and thus the 66 books of the Bible given to us by the Holy Spirit comprise the comprehensive (inspired equally in all parts) Word of God.We teach The holy writers of God's Holy word wrote as God Move upon them and is with out error in the original.
( Psalm 119:160; Matt 5:18; 1 Cor 2:7-14; 2 Tim 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Rev 1:1-2; Rev 1:11 ).
We teach that interpretation of God's Holy Word should be under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit
( John 7:17; John 16:12-15; 1 Cor. 2:7-15; Col 3:16; 1 John 2:20 ).
God
We teach that there is but one true God which is alive today (Deut. 6:4; Is. 45:5-7; 1 Cor. 8:4). The true living God exists in a Godhead as one but three person ( trinity). God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14)Sin and Mankind
We teach that the man was created in the image and likeness of God by God ( Gen. 2:7, 15-25; 1 Thess 5:3; James 3:9 ). Man, Man (Adam) and women (Eve) in the garden of Eden were innocence and fell from his sinless state voluntary thereby passing this sin debt to all mankind. ( Isa 53:6; Heb. 2:9; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 2:2 ). We teach Man was created as a free moral Agent. ( Gen 2:7, 15-25; James 3:9 ).We teach man lost his innocence and incurred ( inherited ) the penalty of spiritual and physical death from Adam's sin causing all of the human race to fall.
( Romans 3:10; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12 ).
We teach man is born a sinner there by needing Jesus Christ As Saviour and Lord of their life. ( Romans 10:9-10 ).
We teach Man is is incapable of remedying his lost and depraved Soul ( Gen 1:26; 3:1-24; Romans 3:10-18; Romans 5:12; Eph 2:1-3).
Death mean separation. Adam having no recuperative power to redeemed himself. ( Gen 3:6-24; Gen 3:21 ).
Man's Salvation is wholly ( not shared ) of God's unmerited Grace through the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ ( Gen 2:16-17; Gen 3:1-19; John 3:36; Romans. 3:23; Romans 6:23; 1 Cor 2:14; Eph 2:1-3; 1 Tim 2:13, 14; 1 John 1:8 ). Also called the gospel ( 1 Cor 15 ).
We teach All men are thus sinners by nature, by choice, and by divine declaration. ( Psalm 14:1-3; Jer. 17:9; Romans 3:9-18, 23; 5:10-12 ).
We teach man was created by God some man could Glorify God the Creator. we teach man should live in God's will there by enjoying fellowship with God.
( Isa 43:7; Col 1:16; Rev 4:11 ).
We teach Salvation is a Free Gift given with love by faith in the work and person of Jesus Christ. ( Romans 5:8; Romans 5:15-18; Romans 6:23; Eph 2:8-9 ).
The Lord Jesus Christ
We teach Jesus Christ is the second person of the trinity ( Godhead). He is coequal, consubstantial, and coeternal with the Father ( John 10:30; John 14:9 ) We teach that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God; that He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virginthere by being sinless.
We teach the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. ( Isa 7:14; Matt 1:23, 25; Luke 1:26-35 ).
We teach the sinless humanity and the deity of Jesus Christ. ( Phil. 2:5-8; Col. 2:9 ).
We teach that in Jesus became God-Man (incarnate). ( Mat 1:23; John 1:1; John 1:14 ).
We teach Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God. ( John 3:16; Mat 3:17; Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22 ).
We teach Jesus Christ death was Voluntary (John 19:30), Victorious, and Substitutionary, Propitatory, and redemptive. ( John 10:15; Romans 3:24-25; Romans 5:8; 1 Peter 2:24 ).
We teach in His substitutionary death for all men, His resurrection, and His eventual return to judge the world. ( Matt. 1:18-20; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:22; John 10:30; John 1:1, 14; 2 Cor. 5:19 ).
We teach that Jesus Christ ascended to the right hand of His Father where He intercedes on behalf of those who trust Him ( John 1:1-2,14,18; Luke 1:34-35; Romans 3:24-26; Romans 8:34).
Salvation
We teach all men are born with a sinful nature and that the work of the Cross was to redeem man from the power and penalty of sin. We teach that this salvation is available to all who will receive it, through Christ Jesus our Lord. Salvation is a free Gift of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. (John 4:10; Romans 6:23; Eph 2:8; Eph 2:9,) while rewards are earned by works; ( Matt 10:42 ; Luke 19:17; 1 Cor 9:24; 1 Cor 9:25; 2 Tim 4:7; 2 Tim 4:8; Rev 2:10; Rev 22:12 ).We teach that Whosoever may be saved by Faith . ( Matt. 7:24; Matt 10:32; Matt 18:4; John 3:15-16; John 11:26; John 12:46 ; Act 2:21; Act 10:43; Romans 9:33; Romans 10:11; Romans 10:13; Eph 2:8-9; 1 John 4:15; 1 John 5:1; 1 John 5:13; Cp Rev 20:15 ).
We teach Salvation is a finish work of Jesus Christ. We teach that salvation is wholly of God by grace through the redemption work of Jesus Christ, the merit of His shed blood, and not on the basis of human merit or works. God provided the way without man's help. ( John 1:12; Eph. 1:4-7; Eph 2:8-10; 1 Peter 1:18, 19 ).
We teach Salvation is present possession ( now ) ( Luke 7:50; John 3:36; John 5:24; John 6:47 ) while rewards are a future payoff, to be give away at the coming of the Lord; (Matt 16:27; 2 Tim 4:8; Rev 22:12).
We teach it is a privilege of a believer or group of Believers to rejoice in the assurance of the salvation of their soul by God through the redemptive work Of God's only begotten son Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:2; Phil 2:16; Phil 3:3; Phil 4:4; 1 Peter 1:8; 1 Peter 4:13.)
We teach that even though a true believer is under the Grace and not under the law for their soul's Salvation the perfect law of liberty give one the excuse to live sinful and fleshly. ( Romans 6:15-22; Romans 13:13-14; Gal 5:13, 16, 17, 25, 26; Titus 2:11-14 ).
We teach A Christian lives their life in God's will because a Christian is bought with a price. ( 1 Cor 6:20; 1 Cor 7:23 ).
The Holy Spirit
We teach in the existence of the Holy Spirit as the divine third person of the Trinity and in His interaction with man. We teach the Holy Spirit is the force in a believers life and in this world. The Holy Spirit has power in calling all things to remembrance. The Holy Spirit is the guiding force in both the church and each believer. The Holy Spirits indwells each believe from the time of accepting Christ as their saviour. ( Matt 28:19; Luke 24:49; John 14:16, 17; John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:7-15; Acts 1:4, 5, 8; Acts 2:1-4 ).Perseverance of The Saints
We teach all redeemed are saved by the blood of Christ on the cross of calvary and God raising Him from the grave are eternality saved by the power of God. This, there by making all true believers secure in Jesus Christ evermore. ( John 5:24; John 6:37-40; John 10:27-30; Romans 5:9-10; Romans 8:1, 31-39; 1 Cor 1:4-9; Eph 4:30; Heb 7:25; 13:5; 1 Peter 1:4, 5; Jude 1:24 ). We teach that a true believer has the assurance of God's Salvation in their Heart. ( Romans 8:16; 1 John 5:10; 1 John 5:13 ).The Church
We teach the Church is the eternal and universal Body of Christ consisting of all those who have accepted the work Jesus Christ. ( Romans 5:8; Romans 6:23 ).We teach that membership in the local visible church is by accepting Jesus Christ as both Lord and Saviour of their soul and have followed the Lord in water immersion Baptism performed by the authority of a local visible church. We teach the need for a visible local assembly of believers for the purpose of evangelism and edification with each member having a vote in all affairs of the local church.
We teach the authority of the local visible independence church governed by itself answering only to God. Believe in members voting on affairs involving the church.
( Matt 28:19, 20; Acts 8:12, 38; Romans 6:4; 1 Cor. 5:11-13; 1 Cor. 11:1, 2, 17-20, 26 ; Acts 15:22-23 ).
We teach a true believers in Jesus Christ place their faith for Salvation of their soul are at once indwell and sealed by the Holy Spirit ( Eph 1:13; Eph 4:30 ). At the moment of Acceptance of Christ as Lord and Saviour each believer is united in one Spiritual body the church ( 1 Cor 12:12-13 ) also called the bride of Christ .
( 2 Cor 11:2; Eph 5:23-32; Rev 19:7- 8 ).
We teach that Christ is Head of this body. ( Eph 1:22; Eph 4:15; Col 1:18 ).
We teach the church is to:
Glorify God ( Eph 3:21 ).
Strengthen believers in faith ( Eph 4:13-16 ).
Instruction in the word ( John 14:26; Acts 8:30-31 ; 2 Tim 2:2, 15; 2 Tim 3:16-17 ).
Believers fellowship and fellowship with God ( Acts 2:47; 1 John 1:3 ).
Churches are to perform the ordinance of Water immersion Baptism and the Lord's Supper. ( Mat 28:19; Luke 22:19 ).
The Church as a family ( Cp Gal 3:26; 1 John 4:4 ) can pool their resources for furtherance and convey the Gospel to the World as a whole. ( Mat 28:19; Acts 1:8 ).
Prayer and Praise
We teach the worship of the Lord through singing, clapping, and the lifting of hands. We believe in the authority of the believer to ask freely of the Lord for his needs.( Romans 5:11; Romans 14:17; Eph 5:19; Gal 5:22; Eph 1:14; Phil 4:8; Col 3:16; Heb 13:15; 1 Thess 1:6; 1 Thess 2:19 ).
Anointing with oil
We teach the ministry of the Holy Spirit to the Church body through the anointing of oil by the elders of the church. ( James 5:14; Cp Mark 6:13; Acts 14:23 ).Evangelism
We teach that evangelism is the obligation of every follower of Jesus Christ. The Lord commands us to go out and make disciples of all the Earth.We teach that each person is first responsible to evangelism in their own family ( Acts 16:15; 1 Cor 1:16 ) as the Holy Spirit leads them and gives them the ability. ( Matt 28:19; Acts 1:18; Acts 11:14; Acts 16:30-31; Cp Matt 10:7 ).
Water Baptism
We teach in the ordinance of water baptism by immersion in obedience to the Word of God. All those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior should be baptized in water as a public profession of their faith in Christ. ( Acts 2:41; Act 8:12-13; Acts 8:36-38; Acts 9:18; Acts 10:48; 1 Cor 1:16 ).Our Commitment to Israel
We teach in the promise of Genesis 12:3 regarding the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.We teach that this is an eternal covenant between God and the seed of Abraham to which God is faithful. "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."( Gen 12:3 )
That true Christians are: I. A Chosen Generation. II. A Royal Priesthood. III. A Holy nation. IV. A Peculiar people.
We teach that every believer has a unique relationship to the Lord. As His children, every Christian has immediate access to the throne of Grace and the ability to manifest the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in ministry. ( 1 Peter 2:5-9; Rev 1:6; Rev 5:10 ).Creation
We teach the Genesis account of Creation. (Gen. chapters 1 & 2).In the Genesis Account we teach that something happen between verse 1 and verse 2.
We teach this created Act in Verse one refers to dateless past. The word used means to create something new, out of nothing, god spoke it into being. Sin caused this perfect creation to fall in chaos. We teach That god never created anything that was not perfect. ( Isa 14:12 ; Eze 28:13-17; Luke 10:18; 2 Peter 2:4; Rev 12:7-10 ). "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. " Genesis 1:1-2.
" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." John 1:1-3.
"For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him." Colossians 1:16. ( 2 Peter 3:8 ).
"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." ( 2 Peter 3:8 )
( Gen 1:31; Exodus 31:17 ).
Trinity
We teach the personal triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection. ( Gen 1:26; Matt 28:19 ). ChastisementWe believe that God deals with believers as His children, that He chastises the disobedient, and that He rewards the obedient.
( Matt 16:27; Matt. 25:14-23; John 1:12; Heb 12:5-11; 2 John 8; Rev. 22:12 ).
Satan
We teach that Satan is a fallen angel, the archenemy of God and man, the unholy god of this world, and that his destiny is the eternal lake of fire. ( Isa 14:12-15; Ezek 28:11-19; Matt 25:41; 2 Cor 4:4; Eph 6:10-17; Rev 20:10 ).
