THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the Word of GOD and contains one harmonious and sufficiently complete system of doctrine. We believe in the full inspiration of the Word of GOD. We hold the Word of God to be the only authority in all matters and assert that no doctrine can be true or essential if it does not find a place in this Word.

​

THE FATHER
We believe in GOD, the Father Almighty, the Author and Creator of all things. The Old Testament reveals GOD in diverse manners, by manifesting His nature, character, and dominions. The Gospels in the New Testament give us knowledge of GOD the "Father", or "My Father," showing the relationship of GOD to JESUS as Father, or representing Him as the Father in the Godhead, and JESUS himself that Son (St. John 15:8, 14:20). JESUS also gives GOD the distinction of "Fatherhood" to all believers when He explains GOD in the light of “Your Father in Heaven" (St. Matthew 6:8).

​

THE SON
We believe that JESUS CHRIST is the Son of GOD, the second in the Godhead of the Trinity or Triune Godhead. We believe that JESUS was and is eternal in His person and nature as the Son of GOD who was with GOD in the beginning of creation (St. John 1:1). We believe that JESUS CHRIST was born of a virgin called Mary according to the Scripture (St. Matthew 1:18), thus giving rise to our fundamental belief in the Virgin Birth and to all of the miraculous events surrounding the phenomenon (St. Matthew 1:18-25). We believe that JESUS CHRIST became the "suffering servant" to man; this suffering servant came seeking to redeem man from sin and to reconcile him to GOD, his Father (Romans 5:10). We believe that JESUS CHRIST is standing now as mediator between GOD and man (I Tim​othy 2:5).

​

THE HOLY GHOST
We believe the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity; proceeds from the Father and the Son; is of the same substance, equal to power and glory; and is together with the Father and the Son, to be believed in, obeyed, and worshipped. The Holy Spirit is a gift bestowed upon the believer for the purpose of equipping and empowering the believer, making him or her more effective witness for service in the world. He teaches and guides one into all truth (John 16:13; Acts 1:8, 8:39).

​

THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST
We believe the Baptism of the Holy Ghost is an  experience subsequent to conversion and sanctification and that tongue-speaking is the consequence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost with the manifestations of the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23; Acts 10:46, 19:1-6). We believe that we are not baptized with the Holy Ghost in order to be saved (Acts 19:1-6; John 3:5). When one receives a baptismal Holy Ghost experience, we believe one will speak with a tongue unknown to one according to the sovereign will of Christ. To be filled with the Spirit means to be Spirit controlled as expressed by Paul in Ephesians 5:18, 19. Since the charismatic demonstrations were necessary to help the early church to be successful in command of Christ, we, therefore, believe that a Holy Ghost experience is mandatory for all believers today.

 

MAN
We believe that humankind was created holy by God, composed of body and soul. We believe that humankind, by nature, is sinful and unholy. Being born in sin, a person needs to be born again, sanctified and cleansed from all sins by the blood of Jesus. We believe that one is saved by confessing and forsaking one's sins, and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and that having become a child of God, by being born again and adopted into the family of God, one may, and should, claim the inheritance of the sons of God, namely the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

 

SIN
Sin the Bible teaches, began in the angelic world (Ezekiel 28:11-19; Isaiah 14:12-20) and is transmitted into the blood of the human race through disobedience and deception motivated by unbelief (1 Timothy 2:14). Adam's sin, committed by eating of the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, carried with it permanent pollution or depraved human nature to all his descendants. This is called "original sin". Sin can now be defined as a volitional transgression against God and a lack of conformity to the will of God. We therefore, conclude that humankind by nature is sinful and has fallen from a glorious and righteous state from which we were created; and has become unrighteous and unholy. We therefore, must be restored to the state of holiness from which we have fallen by being born again (St. John 3:7).

SALVATION
Salvation deals with the application of the work of redemption to the sinner with restoration to divine favor and communion with God.
