A place where the lost find Salvation, and the Saved Assemble to Worship God.
Inspired Word Of God. The Scripture, both the Old and New Testaments, are the written inspired word of God and are His words and revelations to man. They are infallible, authoritative, rules and laws of faith and conduct of life. (1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:21)
The One True God. The One True God revealed as the eternally self-existent Creator of Heaven and Earth. The Creator of all Mankind. He has further revealed Himself thru the ministry of teaching and preaching by His Son Jesus Christ who brought us the living word of God. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 43:10-11)
The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare the following about the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ:
A. His Virgin Birth (Matthew 1:23, Luke 1: 31, 35)
B. His Sinless Life (Hebrews 7:26, 1 Peter 2:22)
C. His Miracles (Acts 2:22, Acts 10:38)
D. His Substitution Work on the Cross (1 Corinthians 15:3, 2 Corinthians 5:21)
E. His Bodily Resurrection from the Dead (Matthew 28:6, Luke 24:39, 1 Corinthians 15:4)
F. His Exaltation to the Right Hand of God (Acts 1:9, Acts 2:33, Philippians 2:9-11, Hebrews 1:1-3)
The fall of Man. Man was created good and upright for God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and incurred not only a physical death, but a spiritual death, which is separation from God our Creator. (Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 2:17, Genesis 3:6, Romans 5:12-19)
The Salvation of Man. Man's only hope of redemption is through and by the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
A. Conditions of Salvation: Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost (Spirit), being justified by Grace through Faith, man becomes an heir (child) of God according to the hope of Eternal Life. (Luke 24:47, John 3:3, Romans 10:9-15, Titus 2:11, Titus 3:5-7)
B. The Evidence of Salvation: The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness, which encompass righteous and holy living. (Ephesians 4:24, Titus 2:12)
That Hell and the Lake of Fire are Real. Man's destination without the acceptance of salvation is eternal torment and punishment. (Matthew 10:28, Matthew 25:41, Revelation 20:15)
That Marriage is a Sacred Union between a Man and a Woman. God who is the creator of all mankind not only created Male and Female, but blessed their union one with another for the propafation of the human race. Any Sexual relations other than what God has set in motion from the foundation of the world is an abomination in the sight of God and is therefore accepted as such by the church body. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, transgender, bi-sexual, or non-binary and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift of sex. (Genesis 2:23-24, Genesis 1:27-28; Genesis 19:5,13; Leviticus 18:1-30; Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:26-29; 1 Corinthian 6:9, Hebrews 13:4, Mark 10:6-8, Leviticus 18:22)
The Chruch is the body of Christ. Each Believer, born of the Spirit, understands that they are an integral part of the body and fellowship of "the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in Heaven." We are the body of Christ with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission in this world. (Hebrews 12:23, Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:22)
Doctrine of Human life. We believe that human life begins at conception and the the unborn child is a living human being. We believe that the unjustified, unexcused taking of human life such as abortion, euthanasia, and infanticide is murder.
Lawsuits Between Believers. We believe that Christians are prohibited from bringing civil lawsuits against other Christians of the church to resolve personal disputes. We believe that the church possesses all the resources necessary to resolve personal disputes between members. (1 Corinthians 6:1-8, Ephesians 4:31-32)
Missions. We believe that God has given the church a great commission to proclaim the Gospel to all nations so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethnic group, and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. As Ambassadors of Christ, we must use all available means to go to the foreign nations and not wait for them to come to us. (Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:46-48, John 20:21, Acts 1:8, 2 Corinthians 5:20)
Separation. We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord. God commands His people to separate from all religious apostasy, all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations. (Romans 12:1-2, Romans 14:13, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 2 Corinthians 6:14, 2 Timothy 3:1-5, John 2:15-17, 2 John 9-11)
The Personality of Satan. We believe that Satan, Lucifer, or the Devil, is a person, the author of sin and the cause of the Fall of Man; that he is open and declared enemy of God and man; and he shall be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire. (Job 1:6-7, Isiah 14:12-17, Matthew 4:2-11, Revelation 20:10)
Creation. We believe that God created the universe in six literal days. We reject evolution, the Gap-Theory, the Day-Age Theory, and Theistic Evolution as unscriptural theories of origin. (Genesis 1-2, Exodus 20-11)
Holiness. To be Gods standard of living for His people.
We the body of Christ, encourage you to partake in all that God has to offer the individual Believer. We understand that the list of Encouragements if not observed will in no wise disqualify one from being a member or one from heaven or from a position in the church. The only way one enters into life eternal in heaven is by repentance and accepting Jesus Christ into one's heart. We do however encourage the believer to:
Be Baptized. We are taught the process of being baptized by water as outlined in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord should if at all possible be baptized. The believer is declaring to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in the Newness of Life. (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4)
Partake in Communion Foot-washing. Communion consists of the elements of bread and the fruit of the vine. It is a memorial and a symbolic expression of His suffering, death, and divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ. Foot-washing, or the washing of the feet, is a symbolic way to show our humility and hospitality to others and Christ and is a way to show our obedience to Christ. (Communion.....2 Peter 1:4, 1 Corinthians 11:24-26) (Foot-Washing...........John 13:1-17, Matthew 24:16)
Seek the full Baptism of the Holy Ghost (Spirit). All believers are entitled to, and earnestly should seek the Promise of the Father, which is the Baptism of the Holy Ghost (Spirit) and Fire. With it comes the enduement of Power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts in the work of the ministry. We encourage not just one of the gifts but rather we encourage any and all the gifts, for they each have their rightful place in ministry. (1 Corinthians 12:4-10, 1 Corinthians 12:28, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 4:8, Acts 10:44-46, Acts 11:14-16, 1 Corinthians 14:1, 1 Corinthians 14:12)
Sanctify yourselves daily. The believer is further encouraged to continue to sanctify themselves daily to God. Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God. The scriptures teach a life of "holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." (Hebrews 12:14) By the power of the Holy Ghost (Spirit) we are able to obey the command: "Be ye holy; for I am Holy." (1 Peter 1:15-16) Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his/her identifcation with Christ in his death and resurrection, and by faith in Him. (Galatians 2:20, Philippians 2:12-13, 1 Peter 1:5, Romans 8:13, Romans 8:1-2, Romans 6:11, Romans 12:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Hebrews 13:12, Luke 9:23)
