     THE SCRIPTURES INSPIRED. The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from

     God to man. (2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12)

           

     THE ONE TRUE GODHEAD. The triune Godhead is comprised of three separate and

     distinct persons, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, who are eternally self-

     existent, self-revealed, and function as one entity. (Phil. 2:6; John 14:28; John 16:28;

     John 1,1,14,18; John 15:26; 1 John 5:7)

           

     MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION. Man was created good and upright, but man, by

     voluntary transgression, fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son

     of God. (Gen. 1:26-31; Gen. 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-21)

           

     THE SALVATION OF MAN.

a.                   Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. (Psalm 103:3; Rom. 3:24; Eph. 2:8; Rom. 10:8-10) 

b.                  The inward evidence to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Rom. 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness. (1 John 3:23) 

c.                   Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works will determine the rewards in eternity. (Rom. 10:9,10; 2 Cor. 5:10)

     SANCTIFICATION. The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord.
     (Heb. 12:14; 1 Thess. 5:23; 2 Peter 3:18; 2 Cor. 3:18; Phil. 3:12-14; 1 Cor. 1:30)

     BAPTISM IN WATER. The ordinance of baptism by burial with Christ should be 
     observed as commanded in the scriptures by all who have really repented and in 

     their
 hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they declare
     to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have also been raised with
     Him to walk in newness of life. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10: 44-48; Rom. 6:4)
       

     DIVINE HEALING. Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is provided for

     in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the Church today.

     (Mark 16:18; James 5:14,15; 1 Peter 2:24; Matt. 8:17; Isaiah 53:4,5)

           

     THE LORD’S SUPPER.  (1 Cor. 11:24-28)

           

     THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER. All believers are entitled to, and should ardently

     expect and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit,

     according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Cor.

     12:1-31). This experience is distinct and subsequent to the experience of the new

     birth. (Acts 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9)

           

     THE EVIDENCE OF THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. The full consummation of

     the baptism of the believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of

     speaking with tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:2,6; 1:8)

           

     THE CHURCH. The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the

     Spirit, with divine appointments for fulfilling of her great commission. (Eph. 1:22;

     2:19-22; Heb. 12:23)

           

     TOTAL PROSPERITY

a.                  Spiritual. (John 3:3,11; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Rom. 10:9,10)

b.                  Mental. (2 Tim. 1:7; Rom. 12:2; Isaiah 26:3)

c.                   Physical. (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matt. 8:17; 1 Pet. 2:24)

d.                  Financial. (3 John 2; Malachi 3:10,11; Luke 6:38; 2 Cor. 9:6-19; Deut. 28:1-14)

e.                   Social. (Proverbs 3:4)

 

     THE BLESSED HOPE. Jesus is coming again to gather all His saints to ever be with 

     Him. (1 Cor. 15:51,52; 1 Thess. 4:16,17; 2 Thess. 2:1)

           

     THE LAKE OF FIRE. Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus

     Christ will suffer eternal separation from God. (Rev. 19:20; 20:10-15)

 

     THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST. The return of our Lord Jesus Christ with

     His saints from heaven to rule and reign one thousand years on earth as the

     Scriptures promised (Rom. 11:25, 27; 2 Thess. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16; 20:1-7). After

     this, there shall be a new heaven and a new earth (Rev. 21).
