Statement of Faith
We believe in the one living, eternal God; infinite in power, Holy in nature, attributes andpurposes, and possessing absolute, indivisible deity. This one true God has revealed Himselfas Father, through His son, in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit, by emancipation. (ICorinthians. 8:6; Ephesians 4:6, Corinthians 5:19; Joel 2:28)
One True God
Son of God
The one true God, the Jehovah of the Old Testament, took upon Himself the form of man,and as the Son of Man, was born of the Virgin Mary. We believe that.” In Him (Jesus)dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” (Colossians. 2.9) Therefore, Jesus in hishumanity was man, in His deity was and is God. His flesh was the lamb, or the sacrifice ofGod. He is the only minister between God and man. “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (I Timothy 2:5)
The Name
God uses different titles, such as “God Elohim”, “God Almighty”, “El Shaddai”, “Jehovah”,and especially, “Jehovah Lord”, the redemptive name in the Old Testament. This prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled when the Son of God was named. (Isaiah 9:6) ”And shall bring forth a son, and thou salt call his name Jesus: HE shall save his people from their sins. “ Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under the heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
Statement of Faith
Pardon and forgiveness of sins is obtained by genuine repentance, a confessing andforsaking of sins. We are justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). John theBaptist preached repentance, Jesus proclaimed it, and the Apostles emphasized it to bothJews and Gentiles. (Acts 2:38, 11:18, 17:30)
Repentence
Water Baptism
The scriptural mode of baptism is immersion, and is only for those who have repented, having turned from their sins to love the word of God. It should be administered in obedience to the Word of God by immersing him or her in the name of Lord Jesus Christ according to the Acts of Apostles. (Act 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, and 19:5; thus obeying andfulfilling; Matthew 28:19)
Holy Spirit
Luke tells us in Acts 2:4, “ They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak withother tongues (languages) as the Spirit gave them utterance.” It is scriptural to expect all whoreceive the power of the Holy Ghost ( Holy Spirit) also experiences the initial sign ofspeaking with other tongues. Further, “... the promise is unto you, and to your children,and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord, our God shall call.” (Acts 2:39)
Second Coming of Christ
Jesus is coming again the second time in person, just as He went away. This is clearly setforth by the Lord Jesus, Himself, and was preached and taught in the early Christian churchby the apostles; hence, the children of God today are earnestly, hopefully, looking forward tothe glorious event. (Matthew 24; Acts 1:11; 3:19-21, I Corinthians 11: 26, Philippians3:20-21, I Thessalonians 4:14-17; Titus 2:13-14)
