THE SCRIPTURES

I believe that the Bible is the correct, unerring and infallible Word of God, written by men divinely inspired by God, and it is profitable for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, according to 2 Timothy, 3-16. I also believe that the beginning of all things began in Genesis 1:1, that all things began then, and nothing existed prior to then, nor did anything die prior to that, but Adam’s sin was the "cause" of all death, decay and sickness in our solar system.

GOD

I believe that there is one God, as it is written in Deut 6-4, Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord. Also, Isaiah 44-6: Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. I believe that the Godhead is a triunity, but all three are one, and Jesus himself is God, according to John 1:1, John 10:30, John 14:9, Isaiah 9:6, 1Timothy 1 to 17, Rev 4:11. I believe that even the disciples did not know who HE was, for Phillip saith unto him, Lord shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father. and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

THE NEW BIRTH/SALVATION

I believe that you must be born again to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:3-5). I believe that salvation is the total work of God, by grace and that men and women are elected to salvation by God.   I believe that we are born again..........by the Word of God, as the scriptures say in 1 Peter 1:23.  I believe that regeneration occurs at the sovereign will of God, without any assistance from the person, and that nothing in the person is the reason for their regeneration, other than their being predestined by God (1 Peter 1:3). I believe that man is spiritually totally depraved because of our fall in Adam, which rendered us dead in sin, according to Ephesians 2:1 and we must be quickened by God to a spiritual awakening first, and whereby, we are able to see and enter the kingdom of God (John 3:3-5, Ephesians 2:1). I believe that our sins are gone. I believe that all of our sins HAVE BEEN been forgiven . Col 2:13 says, "having forgiven you ALL trespasses". The Bible says in Col 1:14 that we have been redeemed (bought back or ransomed) through HIS BLOOD, even the forgiveness of sins. I believe that Jesus Christ took all of our sins upon himself, that he bore them in his own body (1 Peter 2:24) and that we ARE HEALED by HIS stripes.

THE CHRISTIAN COMMITMENT

 I believe that salvation is eternal and it is not contingent on our conduct or faithfulness, nevertheless, our love for God and the scriptures compel us to a life of purity and virtue according to 2 Peter 1:5-7 and Hebrew 6:1:therefore, leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection. I believe that love is the perfection of God, according to 1 John 4:8. According to Matthew 22:37 to 39 Jesus said, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. John 13:34-35 says: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. In conjunction with love, I believe that one must live a holy and sanctified life, according to Hebrews 12:14 and 1 Peter 1:16. And adding to our commitment to love, 1 Cor 1:10 -13 and 1 Cor 12:27-31. In completion, we add the entire chapter of 1 Cor 13.

BAPTISM

I believe in baptism in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, by immersion (in water), as a act of commitment to Jesus Christ our Lord.

TONGUES

I believe that he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries (1 Cor 14-2). I believe he that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself (1 Cor 14:4).

 GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

I believe in all of the gifts of the Spirit as they are channeled by the sound doctrine of scripture, according to 1 Cor 12:1-11, Romans 12:3-8 and 1 Peter 4:10.

THE CHURCH

I believe that Christ is the head of the body, the church  (Ephesians 5:23)who is the beginning, the first born from the dead, that in all things HE might have the preeminence.
