What I Believe
About the Bible: The
Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and
Christian living. ( II
Timothy 3:16)
About God: There is one God, who has
revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16)
About Sin and Salvation: Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation
comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Our
basic and fundamental doctrine shall be the Bible standard of full salvation,
which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of Jesus for the
remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of
speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
(Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John
3:3-5; Acts 2:38; I Peter 3:20,21; Mark 16:16; Titus 3:5)
About the Gospel: The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our
sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to
sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift
of the Holy Spirit (resurrection).
( I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39;
Romans 6:3-4)
About Christian Living: As Christians we are to love God and others.
We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The
supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today.
(Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1;
Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10)
About the Future: Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In
the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous
will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death.
(I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation
20:11-15.)
