The Scriptures

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine. (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 Thess. 2:13)

The Godhead

Our God is one, but manifested in three persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, being co-equal (Deut. 6:4; Phil. 2:6)

God the Father is greater than all; the Sender of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter (John 14:28; John 16:28; John 1:14)

The Son is the Word flesh - covered, the Only Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning (John 1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14)

The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal. (John 14:16; 15:26).

Water Baptism

Baptism in water by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for Believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian's identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts 8:36-39)

Baptism In The Holy Ghost

The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all Believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the New Birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (Matt. 3:11; John 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:1-7; Acts 2:1-4).
