What We Believe
GOD
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ,
and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man.
Deuteronomy 6:4, Ephesians 4:4-6 Colossians 2:9, 1 Timothy 3:16
THE BIBLE
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the
authority for salvation and Christian living.
2 Timothy 3:15-17
SIN
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith
based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:23-25, 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9
REPENTANCE
We must repent (turn away from) of our sins. We do this by asking Jesus to forgive us.
Repentance removes the barrier that sin erected. It is the first act of faith where
we recognize our sin, confess it to God, and willfully decide to forsake it.
If we desire to receive the Spirit of God in our lives, we must live a repentant life.
Matthew 4:17
THE HOLY GHOST
Jesus promised the Spirit to those who believe.
John 7:38-39, Like 24:49, Acts 1:5
Speaking in tongues is the initial sign of receiving the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:4, Acts 2:33, Acts 10:45-46; Acts 19:6
God promised His Spirit to all who ask, believe, and obey His Word.
Luke 11:13, John 7:38-39, Acts 5:32
BAPTISM
We must be water-baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins.
John 3:5, Acts 2:38, 8:48, 19:5
Baptism was taught by Jesus as part of the new birth experience.
John 3:5, Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16
Baptism is for the remission of sins. It must done by immersion in
water, in the name of Jesus Christ. Acts 2:38
