STATEMENT OF FAITH, DOCTRINE AND RELIGIOUS TENETS OF
WE BELIEVE:
1. That the Bible is Word of GOD, not that it merely the Word of GOD. It is plenary and verbally inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT and therefore it is infallible, inerrant, and the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct. (1 Tim. 3:16; Pet. 1:16-21; Heb. 4:12).
2.IN the Godhead who has revealed Himself as one GOD, eternally existing in Three Persons, FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT, distinguishable but indivisible (Deut. 6:4; Mt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14
3. IN the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the SON of GOD, only begotten of the FATHER, not that He is a SON of GOD in the sense all men are. Distinct from the FATHER and the HOLY SPIRIT. His birth was supernatural. He was virgin-born and of the HOLY GHOST without a human father ( Gen. 3:15; Isa. 7:14; 9:6; Mt. 1:34-35; 1 Tim. 3:16).
4. IN the death, burial bodily resurrection, and bodily ascension of CHRIST. His death is expiatory not exemplary. He died not only for few men but for all men. His blood is the inly atonement for sin and by His stripes we are healed. He is now seated at the right hand of GOD to represent men before GOD as their High Priest and Savior. (Isa. 7:14; 9:6-7; Mt. 1:18-25; Jn. 1:14; Isa. 53; 1Pet 2:24; 1 Jn. 2:12; Heb. 1:1-3; Rev. 1:5, 5:8-10; JN 3:16)
5.IN the second coming of CHRIST bodily, in like manner when He ascended to heaven, to rule the world eternally, put down rebellion, restore Man’s dominion and GOD’S kingdom overall as before the fall of Adam (LK.24:50-52; Act 1:11; 1 Cor. 15;24-28; Thes, 1:7-10; Jude 14; Rev. 19: 11-21; Zech.14)
6. IN the HOLY SPIRIT as a person, separate and distinct from the FATHER and the SON. His present ministry is indwelling, sealing, infilling, guiding men into al truth revealing the things of JESUS, imparting gifts to men, baptizing men into the Body of Christ , the One JESUS baptizes men into, convicts men of sin, leading men into CHRIST and many others. He is equal with the FATHER and SON in power and glory and other divine attributes and He is GOD as much as the FATHER and the SON. (Acts 5:4; Mt. 28:19; Jn. 16:7-9, 13;14:16 Mt. 3:11; 1 Cor. 12: 7-10; 13:4-8)
7.IN the creation that both heavenly things including angels and all spirit beings, stars and all heavenly bodies and earthy things including man, plants, and animals, and both visible things were all created by GOD. (Gen. 1;1, 2:7, 19; Ps. 8:1-9; Jn 1:1-3, Eph. 3:9; Col. 1:15-18; Heb. 1:1; Rev. 4:11).
8. THAT man was created in the image of GOD, sinless, fully mature, and highly intelligent, entrusted dominion over GOD’S creation, placed in a test of obedience if he is true to GOD and to the task and responsibility GOD entrusted him. That GOD’S original plan for man was to help him administer the affairs to the universe and enjoy GOD’S infinite blessings and goodness. (Gen. 1:1, 26-28; 2:7, 15-17; Ps. 8:3-8; Jn 14:1-3; Rev. 21-22).
9. IN the fall of man. This fall caused degeneration of man himself, as well as animals and plant-life and are under a curse. Sin, death, sickness, diseases, and sufferings of earth were all of his fall. That man is totally bankrupt and spiritually depraved ad unable to attain divine righteousness. That man chooses to continue in sin, suffering and misery. And that man will eventually confine to hell or lake of fire as a penalty for his sin if he continue choosing the life of sin, suffering, and misery and refuse to accept GOD’S offer salvation. (Gen. 3; Jn 3:16-18; 1 Tim. 2:4; Rev. 20: 11-15; Isa. 1:18; Eze. 3:20-21 33:8-9, 18-19).
10. THAT man can ony be justified by faith in tha toning blood of JESUS CHRIST resulting in a supernatural regeneration from above. That man present suffering can be changed through the acceptance and faith in the blood of JESUS CHRIST. Man’s glorious destiny is in CHRIST, and through his redemption will the whole creation be restored to original perfection and goodness. All men who accept CHRIST will be saved from hell and receive GOD’S infinite blessings and goodness in heaven. (Isa. 1:8; Jn. 3: 16; 15:1-3; Ro. 5: 12-21; 8:17-24; 2 Pt. 3;7-13; Rev. 21: 1-22:5).
11. IN the LORD’S supper commonly called the “Communion” and should be practiced and celebrated by the believers as often as we gather for worship. (1 Cor. 11:23-26).
12 IN the Water Baptism by immersion in the name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT in order to fulfill the command of the LORD JESUS CHRIST in which He Himself gave us an example to follow. (Mt. 3:15-17; 28: 18-19).
13 IN the infant dedication to the LORD like when the infant JESUS brought by his earthy parents to the temple and dedicated Him to the LORD. (Lk. 2:21-23).
14. IN the Sanctity of Marriage, the Holy Matrimony, as instituted by GOD. That nothing can separate the husband and the wife except those grounds allowed by the Bible. That husbands should love their wives and the wives should submit to their husbands. That ‘till death do them part. Sexual affairs outside marriage is we firmly believe, result to commission of adultery. (Gen. 2:21-24; Mt. 19: 3-9; Eph. 5:22-23).
15. IN the security of salvation so long as the believer and remains and abides in the teaching of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. That GOD id the keeper of our salvation and no man can snatch us out from GOD’S hand, and nothing can separate us from the love of CHRISAT as long as we remain true to him. (Jn. 10:29; 17:12; Ro. 8:35-39; Jn 3:16-18; Heb. 6:4-8 10:26-27).
16. IN the reality of the devil, fallen angels, and evil angels and demons. They caused the fall of man and have to do with the present suffering and misery of men. He also causes the spiritual blindness of men so that the can not see the glorious gospel and plan of GOD. He is now the god of the present system of the world. He works for the children of disobedience. GOD will judge and punish him including all his evil angels and demons subjects and all men who would not conform to GOD’S plan of salvation revealed in the Bible. Their doom will be the lake of fire forever and ever (1 Cor. 4:4; Eph 2:1-4; Mt. 25:41; Rev. 20:10).
17. IN the resurrection of all the dead both believers and unbelievers. The believers before the Second Coming of CHRIST and the unbelievers after the One Thousand years physical, literal reigning of CHRIST on earth which will begin at His Second Advent. The believers will reigning with CHRIST eternally and help Him administer the affairs of the universe and the unbelievers will be confined to hell forever and ever. (Isa. 9:6; Jn. 4:28-29; 1Cor. 16; Mt. 24:29-31; Rev. 19:11-21; Jn. 14:1-3; Rev. 20:4, 11-15; 21:1-22:6).
18. THAT government is ordained of GOD and the powers, authorities, and rulers are ordained as ministers of GOD to us for good. Resisting the rulers and authorities are resisting the ordinance of GOD. We therefore pledge our loyalty to the government not for the wrath sake but for conscience sake, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor, and support whoever leader GOD may appoint and assist him in every possible way consistent with our faith and belief as a Christian citizens of the land. (Ro. 13; 1 Tim. 2; 1-14).
19. IN the SPIRIT- filled life, of separation from the world, and perfecting in holiness in the fear of GOD as expressed in the Christian Faith. ( Ro. 12:1-2; Eph. 5:18).
