Salvation
Hebrews 11:6 – Ephesians 2:8-9 – 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 – Acts 2:38
Salvation is made necessary by man’s inherited failure. Salvation is made possible only by the grace and mercy of God. Christ, God robed in flesh, shed his blood for the satisfaction of God’s redemptive economy. Accepting this sacrificial act on Calvary, as one’s personal propitiation, (1John 2:2) will in fact begin the salvation process. Obedience to the Gospel – Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ – is necessary for one to receive salvation.
Salvation from man’s fallen nature is made possible by God’s mercy through the shedding of His blood on Calvary. The salvation plan starts at belief (Heb. 11:6, Ephesians 2:8-9). We must believe on Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, then is established by repentance (1 John 1:9), baptism in Jesus’ name (1 Peter 3:21), and the infilling of the Holy Ghost evidenced by speaking in tongues.(Acts 10:45-46)
We experience the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ through our obedience to the God’s word(Acts 2:29-39). Repentance, baptism in Jesus name and the receiving of the Holy Ghost.
The application of the Gospel must, of necessity, be made in our lives through an obedience to our personal death, burial and resurrection. Peter proclaimed this message in Acts 2:38. He preached a death by repentance, a burial by baptism in Jesus name and a resurrection by receiving the Holy Ghost and walking in newness of life.
Jesus
Deuteronomy 6:4 – Colossians 1:19 – Colossians 1:14-15 – Hebrews 10:5 – I Timothy 3:15-16
Jesus is God manifest in flesh; the image of the invisible God. God is a spirit and according to Jesus himself, a spirit hath not flesh and bones. Harmonizing with Acts 20:28, the Mighty God shed his blood, through the body that hung on the cross. Revelation 4:2 says, “. . . and one sat on the throne.” Jesus Christ is God come to earth as a man, to die for man’s sin.
Lifestyle
Colossians 1:13 – 2 Corinthians 6:17 – 1 Peter 2:9-10
We believe that we have been called out of darkness and into this marvelous light. Therefore we should show forth the praises of him that hath called us out of darkness. We believe that we, as Christians, should live a holy, seperated lifestyle according to the word of God.
Resurrection & Eternity
2 Peter 3:12 – 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18
There is a day coming in which the elements shall melt with fervent heat. Before that day comes however there will be a catching away of the church, living and dead.
God is One
Hebrews 1:3; John 14:4-9; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 44:6-8; John 1:1-14; I John 5:20; Matthew 28:18-19; I Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6; II Corinthians 5:19; Joel 2:28
God is one, who was manifest as the Father in Creation; as the Son in Redemption; and as the Holy Ghost in regeneration of the believer individually and the Church collectively. Not three persons, but three successive manifestations of One True God. We believe in the One Everlasting, Eternal God; Infinite in power, Holy in Nature, Attributes and Purpose; and possessing absolute, indivisible deity. As an eternal Spirit, He is everywhere at once, and cannot be seen, except in the person and face of Jesus Christ.
The Church
Ephesians 4:4-6; Acts 2:38,39; John 3:1-11
There is one Body or Church; and but one way to enter it. Namely, by faith, as evidenced by true repentance; water baptism in Jesus name; and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which constitutes the new birth. We are Christians who trace our scriptural history back to Pentecost.
Holiness
Godly living should characterize the life of every living child of the Lord, and we should live according to the pattern and example given in the Word of God. “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.” (Titus 2:11-12) “For even hereunto were ye called; because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:” (I Peter 2:21-23) See also:
