17 Fundamental Truths

  1. We believe in the One True God, Who exists in Three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; The Three being one and equal and eternally self-existent as the Great “I Am.” (Mt 28:16-20; Jn 14:26; Jn 15:26; 2 Cor 13:14; 1 Pet 1:2; 1 Jn 5:7)
  2. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son, born of a virgin, who ministered the love and the will of the Father, who was and is, the very God and Creator of all things. (Jn 3:16; Matt 1:18; Lk 1:34; Isaiah 7:14; Jn 1:1-3; John 8:8-29)
  3. We believe that He was crucified and died for all men, and then overcame death through his resurrection from the grave on the third day that man might have new life through faith in Him. (Acts 2:36; 1Cor 15:3,4; 2Cor 5:17; John 20:31)
  4. We believe that He ascended to the Father.
  5. We believe that this Jesus is Lord of all. (Acts 2:36; Rev 17:14)
  6. We believe that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. (John 14:6)
  7. We believe that He will baptize believers with the Holy Ghost and fire. This is according to Acts, Chapters One and Two with the evidence of signs and wonders including speaking in other tongues. (Acts 1:4-5; 2:4-38; Luke 3:16; Acts 10:44-48; 19:2-7; 1Cor 14:18)
  8. We believe that all of the gifts of the Spirit are operable in the Church of Jesus Christ today. (1Cor 12, 13, 14; Rom 12; Eph 4)
  9. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. (2Tim 3:16)
  10. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will return to a victorious church to rule in the earth forever. (1Thes 4:14-18; Acts 1:9-11; Rom 5:17; 1Cor 15:20-28; Rev 5:8-9)
  11. We believe in the unity of believers of all denominations in the fellowship of the “Church” in love and worship of Jesus Christ as Lord, in one accord. (John 17:1-26; Eph 4:4; 1Cor 12:12-27)
  12. We believe that God is no respecter of persons, for in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek; neither bond or free, neither male nor female, for we are all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal 3:28; Acts 10:34)
  13. We believe that as believers we have been given a universal commission to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel…” (Mark 16:15-20; Matt 28:18-20)
  14. We believe that as believers we must not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, and all the more in these last days. (Heb 10:25)
  15. We believe that church attendance, fellowship, and submission one to another, will play a very important part in our deliverance from this world. (Acts 2:42; Heb 10:25; Heb 13:7-17)
  16. We believe that God has set in the Church the five-fold ministry gifts of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ. (Eph 4:10-16)
  17. We Believe The Kingdom of God. (John 3:3, Matt 6:33, Luke 17:20-21)

These are the words of Jesus Christ.
