We believe that the Bible, comprising the Old Testament (Old Covenant) and the New Testament (New Covenant), is solely and exclusively the Word of God, consisting of 66 divine texts. We believe in the entirety of the Bible, that it is without error in its original manuscripts, unaltered, and divinely inspired. We believe that the Bible always teaches absolute truth on various subjects, both spiritual and so-called secular. We believe that the Bible is the law for the church and the law for every Christian believer. We believe that each text of the Bible has only one correct interpretation, which can be discovered through the application of the principles of hermeneutics and reliance on the guidance of the Holy Spirit in prayer. Interpretation of the Bible is not subject to personal whims and desires; only after obtaining the one true interpretation can multiple correct applications of the read text be derived. Each text has only one interpretation but can have multiple applications. We believe in one God who has existed eternally in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each of the three persons possesses the full divine essence, meaning they are one in essence but three in personhood. We believe in the Holy Trinity and that the God of the Bible is the one true God. We believe that Jesus Christ has existed eternally and was born of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, without being tainted by human sinfulness. He is begotten but not created and is the Creator. He is fully God and fully man. We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Holy Trinity, is God and worthy of worship, dwelling fully in the hearts of all believers in Christ. We believe that there is only one true and Biblical anointing, which is the anointing of the Holy Spirit that all Christian believers receive. We believe that humanity was created in the image of God but fell into sin, bringing with it physical, spiritual, and eternal death. Due to spiritual death, humanity's relationship with the holy God was severed. Consequently, all humans are born with a sinful nature, and all people, including true prophets of God, have been sinners; the only sinless person is our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ, the Lord, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and to glorify God the Father. He was buried and rose from the dead on the third day. His death on the cross paid the penalty for our sins, and anyone who sincerely repents and believes in Him is saved from eternal punishment in the lake of fire. We believe that this salvation is by God's grace alone and through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily and spiritual resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead on the third day after His crucifixion, with a glorified body, and His ascension to the Heavenly Father. We believe that when a person sincerely repents of their sins and believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, their sins are forgiven, they are born of the Spirit of God, experience a new birth and receive eternal life, become a child of God, and part of the divine family. At the moment of faith, and not after it, the Lord Jesus Christ baptizes them in the Holy Spirit. These events are distinct but occur immediately upon a person's faith in Christ. We believe that immediately after a person's faith in Christ, the baptism of the Holy Spirit is performed by the Lord Jesus Christ. The believer in Christ is equipped with spiritual gifts for the glory of God and service to the Church of Christ through the baptism in the Holy Spirit. We believe that all Christian believers possess the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Throughout the Bible, there is not a single verse commanding Christian believers to be baptized in the Holy Spirit because they receive it upon believing. We believe that the experience of baptism in the Holy Spirit is distinct and separate from the experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit. We believe in the experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit based on Ephesians 5:18, and that being filled with the Holy Spirit is equivalent to being filled with the written Word of God (Colossians 3:16-4:6). This means that various aspects of a believer's life are controlled by the Word of God in the hands of the Spirit of God. The signs of being filled with the Holy Spirit are listed following the command to be filled with the Holy Spirit in Ephesians 5:19-6:20, which do not include speaking in tongues. We believe in the eternal security of the salvation of all Christian believers in Jesus Christ. A true Christian believer never loses their heavenly salvation because of Christ's faithfulness. We believe that the sacred ordinance of baptism by complete immersion in water, following a confession of faith, is performed in obedience to the command of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the presence of the Church. This ordinance symbolizes the union with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe in the sacred ordinance of the Lord's Supper (Communion), performed in remembrance of the death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross and in obedience to His command in the Church. The bread and wine in this ordinance do not transform into the body and blood of Christ, but the spiritual presence of the Lord Jesus Christ exists in these elements. We believe in the sacred ordinance of marriage in the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, between only one man and only one woman. We teach that the marriage covenant is holy in the presence of the Heavenly Father and is intended for a lifetime. We believe that the Church is the gathering of Christian believers who worship and serve the true God under the church leadership structure outlined in the Bible, especially in 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. Only those who have been born again in Christ and received heavenly salvation through the blood of Christ and faith in Him are part of the Church. We believe in the rapture of Christian believers to heaven before the outpouring of God's wrath on the world and the start of the seven-year tribulation period on earth. We believe that Jesus Christ will return triumphantly in the same manner as He ascended to heaven and will establish His thousand-year reign on earth in righteousness and visibly. We believe in the resurrection of all the dead, both the righteous in Christ and the sinners. The righteous in Christ will rise for eternal life, and the sinners who have rejected Christ's forgiveness will rise for eternal punishment. We believe that after salvation, we are disciples and witnesses of Christ in this world, and our purpose is to glorify Him and spread the good news of the Gospel through the Church. We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit for equipping Christian believers for service and glorifying the Lord. The gifts of tongues and prophecy, as they existed in the first century AD and in the New Testament (the Holy Gospel and the Apostles' Letters), have ceased, and what is now commonly known as the gift of tongues and the gift of prophecy is false and not what is described in the Bible. We believe in the power of prayer and fasting for the salvation of people from sin and the healing of the sick according to God's will, and for the glory and advancement of God's kingdom in the world.
