We believe in the entire Word of God, visit this site and that the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is the inspired Word of God. Not only do we get God’s historical account of creation and the fall of man, we receive the plan of salvation from God’s Holy Word. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (II Timothy 3:16).
We are follow and teach what Jesus Christ taught and instructed His chosen apostles to teach us. Matthew 28:20 states, “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
One God
God revealed Himself to mankind as the Father (Creator), the Son (Savior), and the Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit of the resurrected Jesus Christ). We believe in one God, and Jesus Christ is that one God, Lord and Savior of the world.
Jesus Christ is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; St. John 1:1; Isaiah 43:11; Matthew 1:21; I Timothy 3:16), and we must live a holy life (I Peter 1:16; Leviticus 11:44; Leviticus 20:7; II Timothy 2:19).
Sin
The Word of God teaches that sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). We have all sinned, which is a result of the fall and disobedience of Adam, and are in need of a Redeemer. The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23).
The Plan of Salvation
We believe God’s plan of salvation is revealed in His Holy Word. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. Salvation delivers us from the power of sin. In order to be saved, the Scriptures teach we must repent of our sins, be baptized (submerged) in water in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission (removal) of sins, and receive the gift (baptism) of the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance, or the ability. Afterwards, we must live a holy and godly life before God and men.
46And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48And ye are witnesses of these things. 49And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Jesus commanded the disciples to, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19). Name (without an -s) is singular, and that one name is Jesus Christ. The disciples understood Jesus is the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost—the only name that saves.
