Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. We adhere to the doctrines of the Apostles as taught to them by Jesus Christ. And we are “Pentecostal” by experience as modeled for us on the Day of Pentecost, Acts 2 and we are Holiness in lifestyle. ABOUT THE BIBLE We Believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God. II Timothy 3:16; Ephesians 3:5; II Peter 3:2 ABOUT GOD We believe that there is only one God, who revealed Himself to humanity in the person of Jesus Christ. Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 14:9 ABOUT JESUS CHRIST We believe that salvation is only found in Jesus Christ and is appropriated to humanity by God’s grace through the New Testament new-birth experience. Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8; John 3:3-7 ABOUT SALVATION We believe that the new-birth experience is comprised of repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost. This is the New Testament pattern for all believers to follow as a result of their faith in Jesus Christ. Acts 2:38; Luke 13:1-5; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:5-6 ABOUT THE HOLY GHOST We believe that when a person receives the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that person will speak with other tongues under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:4; Acts 19:6; Isaiah 28:11) We believe that believers are called to live a holy, pure life before God and all humanity. 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; Hebrews 12:14 ABOUT THE NAME OF JESUS The authority of God is vested in the Name of Jesus (Philippians 2:9-10; Matthew 7:22; Mark 16:7; John 14:14; Acts 4:12). All that the believer does “in word or deed” is to be done in Jesus’ Name (Colossians 3:17). The Name of Jesus becomes our new “family name” (I Corinthians 1:12-15; Romans 6:4; II Corinthians 5:17), The authority of the Godhead is vested in the Name of Jesus! Philippians 2:9-10; Matthew 7:22; Mark 16:7; John 14:14 ABOUT THE SECOND COMING We believe that the church will be raptured by Jesus Christ and will exist with Him forever in eternity. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 1:10 ABOUT MIRACLES We believe that God’s power is still active in the church and that healing, signs, and miracles are available to God’s people through faith in Jesus Christ.
