WE BELIEVE that God is One (Deuteronomy 6:4).  Omnipotent (Possessing All Power); Omniscient (Having All Knowledge); and Omnipresent (Whose Presence Fills The Universe).  He is the Father in creation, Son in redemption, and Holy Ghost in His comforting, keeping and transforming power.

 

WE BELIEVE that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself (II Corinthians 5:19); that Jesus is the incarnate Word, God made flesh. (John 1:14).

 

WE BELIEVE that God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory (I Timothy 3:16).

One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism

WE BELIEVE that the angel told Joseph, call his name "JESUS".  For He shall save his people from their sins (Matthew 1:21), and "There is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

 

WE BELIEVE in baptism by immersion, and the only way to fulfill the commission of our Lord, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" is to observe the way Christ's hand picked, authorized apostles carried it out and then we do as they did (Matthew 28:19, 20).  They baptized "In The Name of the Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 2:38, 8:16; 10:47; 19:5):  For Jesus said, "I come in my Father's name," (John 5:43), and "the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name" (John 14:26), and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem". (Luke 24:47)

No Other Name Under Heaven Whereby We Must Be Saved

WE BELIEVE that God created man in His own image, innocent, pure and holy; that man's fall and banishment from the Garden of Eden was because of sin (Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23; 5:12)

WE BELIEVE that as "in Adam all die, so in Christ all are made alive". (I Corinthians 15:22)

WE BELIEVE that "He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrew 11:6); However, to profess having faith is not enough.  Faith must be accompanied by works.  "...but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." (James 1:25).  Therefore, as soon as one believes, he should show works of repentance from sin, followed by baptism in water in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost.  (Acts 2:38).

Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God

WE BELIEVE that in order to enter the Kingdom of God, one must be born of water and of the Spirit.  (John 3:5).

 

WE BELIEVE that when the Holy Spirit comes into one's heart he will speak in other tongues just as they did in Bible times. (Acts 2:4; 10:46; 19:6).

 

WE BELIEVE that "denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world." (Titus 2:12).

 

WE BELIEVE in the second coming of Christ (Matthew 24:30; Acts 1:11; 3:19-21; Philppians 3:20), at which time the true church shall be caught away with him into the heavens before the great tribulation (Isaiah 26:20, Revelation 4:1).

 

WE BELIEVE in the final judgment (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:7-15; 21:8):  A literal heaven and a burning hell (Revelation 20:15; 21:1-8).  That Jesus Christ is the answer to all of your problems and we recommend HIM TO YOU!!!
