The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed
will of God |
|
(II Tim. 3:15-17; I 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 |
|
(Mt.
28:19, I Jn. 1:1, 14). |
|
|

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) |
|

Salvation of man |
|
(a)
Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood
of Jesus Christ. On the cross Jesus Christ became sin and
sickness providing both salvation and healing for all
mankind (Ps. 103:3). This salvation comes 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 (I Jn. 3:23;
Jn. 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 rewards in eternity (Rom. 10:9-10,
14:10-12; II Cor. 5:10; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; James
2:18). |

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 |
|
(Mt. 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 is a remembrance of Jesus |
|
(I
Cor. 11:24-30) |
|
|
| 7.
All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect
and earnestly seek, 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 for life
and service, the bestowal of gifts and their uses in the
work of the ministry: This experience is distinct from and
subsequent to the experience of the new birth |
|
(Lk. 24:49;
Acts 1:4-8, 2:38-39, 10:44-46, 11:14-16, 15:7-9; I Cor.
12:1-31) |
|
|
| 8.
The evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. The full
consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy
Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of
speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance
and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in
public testimony and service |
|
(Acts 1:8, 2:4, 10:44-46,
19:2,6) |
|
|
| 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 (Jn. 3:3, 11; II Cor. 5:17-21;Rom. 10:9-10).
(b) Mental (II Tim. 1:7; Rom. 12:2; Is. 26:3).
(c) Physical (Is. 53:4-5; Mt. 8:17).
(d) Financial (III Jn. 2; Lk. 6:38; II Cor. 9:6-10; Phil.
4:19).
(e) Social (Pr. 3:4). |

Blessed Hope: Jesus is coming to gather all His saints to
Heaven |
|
(I Cor. 15:51-52; I Thess. 4:16-17; II Thess.
2:1) |
|
|
| 12.
Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus
Christ will suffer eternal separation 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; II Thess. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16, 20:1-7). |
|
|
|
After this, there will be a new earth
|
|
(Rev.
21)
