 Articles of Faith: 

 

 There is but One Living and True God, the Great Creator, and there are three persons  in the Godhead. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Genesis 1:1-27; Matthew  28:19; I John 5:7.

 We believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired Word of God. II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-  21.

 We believe we are justified when we repent of our sins, and believe in Jesus Christ.  Mark 1:15; Acts 13:38-39; Romans 5:1.

 We believe Sanctification to be a definite work of Grace, subsequent to Salvation. John  15:2; 17:16-17; Ephesians 5:25-27; I John 1:9.

 We believe in the baptism with the Holy Ghost, and speaking with other tongues, as  the Spirit  gives utterance to be the initiatory evidence of this experience.Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:6. Since the Spirit gives the utterance when one is baptized with the Holy  Ghost, we reject the practice of one telling another what to say in order to speak in  tongues. We also reject the teaching that one who has received the Baptism of the  Holy Ghost can speak in tongues at will, without the Spirit prompting the utterance.

 We believe in divine healing for the body. Acts 3:2-12; 9:32-43; 5:15-16; James 5:14. We  do not condemn medical science.

 We believe every blessing we receive from God including Divinehealing, comes through  the merits of the atonement. Romans 5:11; James 1:16-17.

 We believe in the operation of the nine gifts of the Spirit and encourage our people to  so live that these gifts may be manifested in their lives. I Corinthians 12:1-12.

 We believe in the imminent rapture of the church, and the personal, pre-millennial  Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 1:10-11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18;  Revelation 1:7.

 We, as a church, believe in the eternal redemption of all saints who are faithful to the  end. Matthew 24:13; Revelation 2:10. But we reject the theory of "Once in grace always  in grace" regardless of conduct. I Corinthians 10:12; Galatians 5:4.

 We believe all who die out of Christ will be punished eternally, but those who die in  Him shall share His glory forever. Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46; John 5:29; Jude 7.

 We believe the Bride of Christ is composed of the entire Spiritual Church. I Corinthians  12:25; II Corinthians 11:2; Galatians 3:28-29; Ephesians 4:16; 5:23-33; Revelation 19:7-8.

 We believe in the sacredness of marriage between one man and one woman. We  promote commitment to strong family values. Ephesians 5:31-33; 6:1-4; Hebrews 13:4;  Matthew 19:5; Leviticus 18:22; Genesis 2:24.

 We require all our ministers to speak the same thing, and that there be no division  among us in doctrine concerning our Articles of Faith. I Corinthians 1:10.
