The Scriptures of the Bible are Inspired
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason but not contrary to reason to which nothing can be added or taken way 2 Tim 3:15-17; 1 Peter 2:2, 11:21”

There is Only One True God
We believe there is but one living and true God, everlasting, of infinite power, wisdom and goodness: Maker and Preserver of all things, both visible and invisible. And in the unity of this Godhead, there are three distinct Persons, of one substance of eternal being, and equal in holiness, justice, wisdom, power and dignity: The father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, “Deut 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isa. 43: 10-11; Matt 28:19; Luke 3:22. The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed “I AM”; and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, i.e. as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
We believe that the Son, Who is the Word of the Father and very God, of one substance with the Father, took man’s nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin Mary: so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the Godhead the manhood (the divine and the human) were joined together in one person, never to be divided whereof is one “Christ, very God and prefect, the only Savior who actually suffer, was crucified, dead and buried, to reconcile us to the Father and make atonement for all sins of the whole word both original and actual. “II Cor. 5:18, 21; Isa. 53: 4-12; John 1:14; Luke 1: 27-35; 1 Peter 2:24; 3:18”

Man fell but there is Redemption
Man was created good and upright: for God said “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” But man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God. “Gen. 1 26-31: 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-21”

There is Salvation for Man; Conditions to Salvation
The Grace of God, which bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, and being justified by grace through faith, he becomes and heir of God according to the hope of eternal life. “Titus 2:11; Rom 10:13-15; Luke 24:47

Baptism of Water
The ordinance of Baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures, by those who have really repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they have their body washed in pure water as an outward symbol of cleansing, while their heart has already been sprinkled with the blood of Christ as inner cleansing. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of Life. Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47,48; Rom 6:4; Acts 20:21; Heb 10:22

The Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ “ II Peter 1:4” a memorial of His suffering and death “1 Cor 11:26” and a prophesy of His second coming “1Cor 11:26 and is enjoined on all believer “until He comes”.

Work of Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the 3rd Person of the Triune God who is on the Earth today. Jesus said that the “Parakletos“the (Helper) when he comes. “He will guide you into all truth” John 16:13. He will reveal and guide his people into the fullness of the Kingdom.
The Holy Spirit will enable and empower the individual believer and the corporate gathering of believers in the assembly releasing spiritual gifts for the building up of the Body of Christ.
The Holy Spirit is active and desires to function in the local gathering of believers.

Apostolic Prophetic Government
The direction and function of the assembly is governed by the apostolic, prophetic leadership. The role of Apostles and Prophets are necessary for the full release of Kingdom authority that will facilitate all the ascension gifts referred to in Ephesians 4:11-12 “And he gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors, and teachers for the equipping of the Saints for the work of maturity for the edifying of the Body of Christ.”
9
The Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is here and it is in full operation when the body of believers lives in the authority and the anointing of the Kingdom in every sphere and facet of society. The Kingdom of God is the church but not exclusive to the church. The Kingdom of God encompasses the Marketplace and is to be established in every area of life and living. The mandate of the local assembly of believers is to take dominion over every place of influence in society and establish the rule and reign of Jesus with the purpose of bringing transformation in righteousness.

The Millennial Reign of Jesus
The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven, the salvation of national Israel, and the millennial reign of Christ on the earth is the Scriptural promise and the world’s hope. “II Thess 1:17; Rev 19:11-14; Rom 11:26,27; Rev 20:1-7.”
11
The Lake of Fire
The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet and whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, shall consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth and fire and brimstone, which is the second death. “Rev. 19:20; Rev. 20:10-15.”
12
The New Heavens and New Earth
We, “according to His Promise, look for new heavens and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. “II Peter 3:13; Rev. 21,22.”
