AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

​

•  We believe in One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism  (Ephesians 4:5)

​

•  We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God. It is true! It contains the keys to our heritage, eternal life, and it           reveals the mystery of our faith.  (John 5:39 / Deut. 29:29)

​

•  We believe in the oneness of God, who was the father in creation, the son in redemption, and today, He is the Holy Ghost in the church.  (1 Timothy 3:16)

​

•  We believe that Jesus is God, for in Christ all the fullness of the deity lives in bodily form. We proclaim Lord Jesus Christ is the Name of God that was given to this generation, as the only Name whereby the people of this grace dispensation of time can be saved.  (Col. 2:9 / Acts 4:12)

​

•  We accept God’s plan of salvation of Baptism by water and spirit, who was our perfect example, through sinless, was baptized to fulfill righteous.  (John 3:5 / Matthew 3:15)

​

•  We believe that water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ is essential for forgiveness of sins, and confirms our belief that Jesus Christ is God.  (Acts 2:38 / 8:37)   

​

•  We believe that rebirth by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential today as was in the days of the Apostles.  (Acts 2:4)

​

•  We believe that the Word of God must be proclaimed throughout all of the world, according to God’s commandment.  (Matthew 28:19 / Mark 16:15)

​

​

Our blessed hope lies in Christ Jesus our Lord who has given us the victory over death and hell, therefore standing firm on His promise, we anticipate the second coming of Jesus Christ – that great day of resurrection -  which shall surely come. On that day, the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and remain will be changed, and caught up together with them in the air, and so shall we forever be with our Lord and savior Jesus.  

( John 4:3 / 1Cor. 15:51-58 / 1 Thessalonians 4: 15-17)
