~Our Faith & Faithfulness to God~
Our Faith & Faithfulness To God Being of the Apostolic faith simply means that we practice our faith the same way the Apostles did and as it is written and established in the book of Acts. The Church of the New Testament has not changed in 2000 years nor will it ever change in regards to your salvation. whatever was true on the day of Pentecost is still true today. As people were filled with the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost, in the upper room 2000 years ago, so are they still being filled today and are still being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, as Peter commanded in Acts 2:38.
"and whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." Colossians 3:17.
Just as the Apostles proclaimed and believed in one God and not three, so do we. "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord" Mark 12:29.
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of the angles, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." Timothy 3;16.
~Doctrine (or Teachings)~
We feel that it is our duty to lift the Apostolic Standard and "earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints," according to the instruction given us by the Apostle Jude
Therefore, these Rules, Regulations and By-Laws are adapted in order to govern and instruct God's people, that they be not led away by the error of the wicked and fall from their own steadfastness, as some have already done, but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (Matthew 11:29,30 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.)
In these last and evil days God's standard of salvation has been lowered among many of the leaders of today, who are supposedly walking with God. But, nevertheless, have lowered the standard and have given heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of the devil. We feel that it is our duty and the expressed will of God to earnestly contend for the Faith and to teach and to warn God's people against the evils of today.
The Doctrine is based solely on the scriptures and its interpretation is subject only to divine inspiration as revealed to the Apostles of Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
