1. We believe that the Bible is the Inspired (God breathed) Word of God (All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. II Timothy 3:16)
2. We believe that God Created all things (For by Him [God] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him. And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. Colossians 1:16-17)
3. We believe in the virgin birth (And the angel answered and said unto her (Mary), the Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest (Father God) shall over-shadow you; therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you, shall be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35)
4. We believe in the incarnation (The word was made flesh, and dwelt among us full of grace and truth. John 1:14)
5. We believe in the Godhead, the holy trinity (tri-unity) God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit and these three are ONE God. (For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, and Word (Son), and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. I John 5:7)
6. We believe in the New Covenant. (For where a testament [covenant, will, agreement] is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is valid and can be in forced after the testators death, otherwise the covenant has no validity at all while the testator lives Hebrews 9:16-17)
7. We believe that the precious Blood of Jesus Christ guaranteed (made valid, ratified) the New Covenant. (But Christ. . .by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Hebrews 9:11, 12, 14)
8. We believe in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. (For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. I Corinthians 15:3-4)
9. We believe in Jesus Christ’s work of Redemption. (For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. I Peter 1:18-19).
10. We believe in Salvation by Grace. (For by grace are you saved through faith: and not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:9-10)
11. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells believers. (...And I will pray the Father and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever. Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive because it sees Him not, neither knows Him; but you know Him; for He dwells with you, and shall be in you. If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and WE will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. John 14:16-17, 23)
12. We believe in Baptism with Water, Baptism with the Holy Ghost, Baptism of Repentance and the Laying on of Hands. (For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. . .And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. . .Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. Acts 1:5, 2:4, 19:4-6)
13. We believe in Holy Communion [the Lord’s Supper]. (For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying. This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as you drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord’s death till He comes. I Corinthians 11:23-26)
14. We believe in Feet Washing. (If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet, for I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. (John 13:14-15)
15. We believe in the manifestation of the Gifts of the Spirit. (Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us. . .Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. . .But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When He ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Romans 12:6, I Corinthians 12:4, Ephesians 4:7, 8)
16. We believe in the Great Commission. (Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Matthew 28:19-20)
