BELIEFS

The basic and fundamental doctrine of this Church shall be the Bible standard of salvation (Acts 2:36-47) which is:

• Acceptance and confession of the truth that Jesus Christ is the One and Only LORD GOD ALMIGHTY incarnate to be our Saviour (He is both the Deity and also Human: Acts 2:36-37A; Isaiah 43:10-12; John 8:19-24; Colossians 2:8-10; Acts 4:10-12);

• Recognition of one’s fallen, sinful condition (Acts 2:37A; Jeremiah 17:9; John 3:19-21; 1 John 1:8-10; Acts 7:51-53);

• Sincere seeking after the will of God for one’s own life (Acts 2:37B; Isaiah 55:6; John 5:39; Hebrews 11:6; Acts 17:27);

• Repentance (Acts 2:38A; Ezekiel 14:6-8; Luke 13:3; 2 Corinthians 7:10; Acts 26:20);

• Baptism by immersion in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38B; Isaiah 1:16-18; Luke 24:45-48; Hebrews 10:17-18; Acts 10:43);

• Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:38C-39; Joel 2:28-29; John 20:22; Ephesians 5:18; Acts 19:5-6);

• Living a life of holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord, which includes abiding by the standards of righteousness established by the Pastor of this congregation (Acts 2:40-46A; Ezekiel 36:27-28; John 15:1-17; 2 John 9-12; Acts 11:22-26); and

• Being a faithful witness unto the Lord as He enables (Acts 2:46B-47; Isaiah 44:6-8; Matthew 10:24-27; 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10; Acts 1:8).
