Our Creed, Discipline and Doctrine
We fully believe in the mystery of the Godhead. We believe that
Jesus was both human and divine, and further, that the Godhead be understood to mean all of the fullness of God (Colossians
1:19 and 2:10).
We believe that the only grounds upon which God will accept a sinner
is repentance from the heart for the sins he has committed. A broken and contrite heart, He will not despise (Psalms 51:17).
We believe a person must be baptized in the name of Jesus and filled with the Holy Ghost by the evidence of speaking
in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:38). We earnestly contend for God's standard of salvation. In
the word of God, we find nothing short of a Holy, Spirit-filled life with signs following as on the day of Pentecost (Mark
16:16-17; Acts 2:4; 8:14-17; 9:17; 10:44-48; 19:1-6).
We believe that in order to escape the judgement of God and to
have hope of enjoying the glory of life eternal, one must be thoroughly saved from his sins, and that a wholly sanctified
life is the only true standard of Christian life (Hebrews 12:14; Ist Peter 1:15-17).
We believe that the time draweth near for the coming of the Lord to
make a change in the present order of things, and at that time all the righteous dead shall rise from the graves, and
"we that are alive" and living righteous before God shall be translated or "caught up to meet the Lord in the
air" Matthew 24:36; Luke 17:20, 37; 1st Corinthians 15:51-54; Philipians 3:20-21; 1st Thessalonians 4:13, 17).
Moreover we believe that the distrss upon the world is the 'begining
of sorrows" and will become more intense until there "shall be a time os trouble such as there never was since there was
a nation even to that time, (Matthew 24:3-8; Daniel 12:1), and that period of tribulation will be followed by the dawn of
a better day on earth, and that for one thousand years there shall be "peace on earth, good will toward men" (Revelation 20:1-5;
Isaiah 65:17-25; Matthew 5:5; Daniel 7:27; Micah 4:1-2; Habbakuk 2:14).
When the thousand years are finished there shall be a ressurection
of the dead, who shall be summoned before the Great White Throne for their final judgement; all those whose names are not
found written in the Book of Life shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, burning with brimstone, which God hath prepared for
the devil and his angels, Satan being cast first (Revelation 20:7-15; Matthew 24:41-46; Revelation 21:8).
