WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Word of God - The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God. The infallible word of God is the basis for any statement of faith. All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for instruction, doctrine, reproof, correction, and righteousness. (2nd Timothy 3:16)
Scriptural Authority - The Bible is the only God given authority which Man possesses. Therefore, all doctrine, faith hope and all instructions for the church must be based upon and harmonized with the Bible. It is to be read and studied by all men everywhere. And can only be clearly understood by those who are anointed by the Holy Ghost. (1st John 2:27)
Prophecy in Order - No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old times by the word of man but Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2nd Peter 1:20-21)
Excellence - The church subscribes to the doctrine of statement of the visions pursuing excellence. (VPE). No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old times by the word of Man, but Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2nd Peter 1:20-21)
The Baptized Body - We band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ, personally committed to sharing the Good News of salvation to a lost Mankind.
Church Ordinances - The ordinances of the Church are confession and believing that Jesus Christ is the Almighty God, baptism in the name of the Jesus Christ, the Lord’s Supper, feet washing, marriage, and burial services.
