The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and conduct and is superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason. 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Peter 1:23-25, Hebrews 4:12.
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed "I Am." He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29, Isaiah 43:10, Matthew 28:19.
Man was created good and upright. For God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness." But man, by voluntary transgression, fell. Mans only hope of redemption is through the blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Genesis 1:26-31; 3:1-7, Romans 5:12-21
The condition of salvation is through the grace of God. It is presented to all men through the preaching of repentance toward God and Faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. Man is saved by the washing and regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life. The evidence of salvation is seen both inward and outward. The inward evidence is the direct witness of the Spirit to show the believer his salvation. The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness. Titus 2:11, Romans 10:13-15, Luke 24:47, Titus 3:5-7, Romans 8:16.
The ordinance of baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the scriptures. It should be obtained by all who have truly repented and in their hearts truly believed as Christ as Savior and Lord. In doing so, they declared to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also be raised with Him to walk in newness of life. Matthew 28:19, Acts 10:47, Romans 6:4
The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements of bread and that fruit of the vine, is the symbol of expressing our gratitude of Christ's broken body and spilled blood for us on the cross. It is a memorial of His suffering and death as well as a remembrance of the prophecy of His second coming. This should be enjoyed by all believers until He returns. John 6:48, Luke 22:19-20, 2 Peter 1:4, 1 Corinthians 11:26.
All believers are entitled to, should ardently expect, and earnestly seek the promise of the Father and the baptism in the Holy Ghost according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early christian church. With it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts of the Spirit and their uses in the work of the ministry. This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of Salvation. Luke 24:49, 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, Acts 1:4-8; 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9.
The full consummation of the baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with of tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. This is then followed by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service. Acts 1:8; 2:4, 42-43; 10:44-46; 19:2.
The scriptures teach a life of holiness. Without this no man shall see the Lord. By the power of the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command, "Be ye holy, for I am holy." Entire sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God's Word. Hebrews 12:14, 1 Peter 1:15-16, 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, 1 John 2:6, Romans 8:3-4
The church is the body of Christ and the habitation of God through the Spirit with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and church of the firstborn which is written in Heaven. Ephesians 1:22; 2:19-22, Hebrews 12:13.
A divine call and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a twofold purpose. (1) The evangelization of the world, and (2) the edifying of the body of Christ. Mark 16:15; 16:20, Ephesians 4:11-13.
Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers. Isaiah 53:4, Matthew 8:16-17, Mark 16:18, John 5:14.
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is imminent and is the blessed hope of the Church. 1 Thessalonians 4:16,18 Romans 8:23, Titus 2:13, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52.
The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven, the salvation of the nation of Israel, and the millennial reign of Christ on the Earth is the scriptural promise and the world's hope. 2 Thessalonians 1:7, Revelation 19:11-16, Romans 11:25; 27, Revelation 20:1-7.
The devil, his angels, the beast, the false prophet, and whoever is not found written in the Book of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. This is the second death. Revelation 19:20; 20:10-15.
We "according ton His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness." 2 Peter 3:13, Revelation 21:1.
