We BELIEVE that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, written by Holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:20-21) We BELIEVE in One God who is infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purpose, as well as omniscient and omnipresent, and omnipotence. We BELIEVE that He was revealed to us as Father in creation as Son in redemption, and as Holy Ghost in His grace that never leaves those who trust Him. We BELIEVE that in Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9) for it pleased the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell (Colossians 1:19) We BELIEVE that Jesus is the only Begotten Son of the Father (St. John 1:14,18) We BELIEVE that Jesus was both human and divine; as the Scripture says, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the received up into glory (1 Timothy 3:16) We BELIEVE in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We BELIEVE that Salvation is found in the formula that Apostle Peter preached on the day of Pentecost, that pricked the hearts and minds of those that heard him asked “what shall we do?” (Acts 2:37). Then Peter said, “Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38). We also BELIEVE that the salvation of the convert is complete once the individual has Spoke in tongues as the Spirit of God give them utterance (John 3:5; Acts 2:1-4; 8:12-17, 10:44-48; 19:1-6). We BELIEVE in a Holy Sanctified life, free from sins (1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Galatians 5:26-25; Colossians 3:5-11; 1 John 3:1-3; Ephesians 5:26-27). We BELIEVE in divine healing, Communion and foot washing (John 13:1-17; Matthew 26:26-28; 1 Corinthians 11:20-30) We BELIEVE in the Catching Away (The Rapture) of the saints when Jesus returns and takes away the Apostolic Church to Heaven (1 Corinthians 15:51-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) |
