The church accepts
the scripture as the revealed Will of God and adopts
these Statements of Fundamental Truths and Doctrine.
1) The Bible is the Inspired
Word of God and revealed will of God
(Tim.
3:15-17;1 Peter 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12).
2)
There is one true Godhead
comprised of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
All are co-equal and co-eternal [Matt. 28:19; 1 John 5:7]. Jesus Christ.
God manifest in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead [Is. 9:6,
John 1:1,14].
3) Man was created in
God's image. By voluntary transgression he fell and
his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God [Gen. 1:26-
31; 3:1-7; Rom 5:12-21].
4) Salvation Man:
a) Man's only hope of redemtion is through
the the shed blood of Jesus
Christ. On the cross Jesus Christ became sin and sickness,
providing both salvation and healing for all mankind [Ps. 103:31]
This salvation come by believing in your heart that God raised
Jesus from the dead and confessing with your mouth, Jesus as Lord
[Rom. 3:24, 10:8-10; Eph. 2:8].
b) The inward evidence to the
believer is the direct witness of the
Spirit [Rom 8:16]. The outward evidence to all men is a life of
true holiness and love [1 John.3:23; John 13:35].
c) Salvation is by faith in Jesus
Christ and not by human works,
however our works are evidence of our faith and will
determine our reward in eternity.
[Acts.16:3; Rom. 10:9-10 ,
4:10-12; П Cor. 5:10; Eph. 2:8-9;
Titus 3:5-7; James 2:18]
П Cor. 5:10; Eph 2:8-9; Titus3:5-7; James 2:18].
5)
Baptism in water is a declaration to the world that a believer has
died with Christ and that they have been raised with him to walk
in newness of life [Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Rom. 6:4 ]
6)
The celebration of the Lord's supper by eating of the bread
and Drinking of the cup a remembrance of jesus [1 Cor. 11:24-30]
7) All Believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect and earnestly
see, the promise of the father, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
according to the command of Jesus Christ. With this comes
the endowment of power of life and service, the bestowment of gifts
and their uses in the work of the ministry. This experience of the
new birth [Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:38,39 10:44-46, 11:14-16,
14:7-9; 1 Cor. 12:1-31].
8) The evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit:
The
full consummation of the baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is
is evidence by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tonques
as the Spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation of
spiritual power in public testimony and service [Acts 2:4, 10:44-46,
19:2,6, 1:8].
9) The Church is the body of christ. Each believer is an integral part
[Eph. 1:22, 2:19-22; Heb. 12:23].
10) Total Prosperity.
a. Spiritual [John 3:3, 11:П
Cor. 5:17-21; Rom. 10:9-10]
b. Mental [
П Tim. 1:7; Rom. 12:1; Isa. 26:3].

1:2; Mal. 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; П Cor. 9:6-10;
Deut. 28: 1-4].
e Social [Prov. 3:4].
11) Blessed Hope: Jesus is comming again to gather all His Saints to Heaven
[1 Cor. 15: 51-52; 1 Thess. 4:16-17; П Thess. 2:11].
12) Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will
suffer eternal seperation from the Godhead. They will burn in the lake
of fire [Rev. 19:20, 20:10-15].
13) The Millennial Reign of Jesus: The return of our Lord Jesus Christ with
His Saints from Heaven to rule and reign for one thousand years on earth
as the Scripture promised [Rom. 11:25, 27: П Thess. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16,
20: 1-7] after this there will be a New Heaven and a New Earth [
Rev. 21}.
