Doctrines

1. Holy Scriptures

The Bible, consisting of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, a supernaturally-given revelation from God Himself, concerning Himself, His being, nature, character, will and purposes; and concerning man, his nature, need, duty and destiny. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are without error or misstatement in their moral and spiritual teaching and record of historical facts. They are without error or defect of any kind.

Psalms. 12:6,7 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
 
2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
 
2 Peter 1:20 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."
 
1 Peter 1:23 "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
 
Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
 

2. God - One God Three Persons, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit:

There is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Trinity Presented Together: (Matthew 3:16,17; Matthew 28:18,19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

God the Father. One God and Father (1 Corinthians 8:6), Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:3), Is all Powerful (Ephesians 4:6), Is Unchanging (James 1:17), The Author of our redemption (Galatians 1:3,4), The Father of believers (2 Corinthians 6:17,18).

God the Son. (Messiah, Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son, Son of Man, Son of God, Savoir, Lord, King of kings, Lord of Lords, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Risen from the Dead, Eternal life, Truth, Bridegroom, and the only Way to God.)

God the Holy Spirit. (The Holy Spirit, Spirit of Grace, Spirit of Burning, Spirit of Truth, Spirit of Life, Spirit of Wisdom and Knowledge, Spirit of the Promise, Spirit of Glory, Spirit of God, and of Christ, the Comforter.)
The Holy Spirit is a person and is possessed of all the distinctively divine attributes.  He is God.
 

3. The Doctrine of Humanity (Man and Woman):

Man was created in the image of God, after His likeness, but the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam. All men, until they come to God by repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, are lost, darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, hardened in heart, morally and spiritually dead through their trespasses and sins. They cannot see, nor enter the kingdom of God until they are born again of the Holy Spirit.

4. The Doctrine of Satan:

There is a personal devil, a being of great cunning and power. “The prince of the power of the air.” The prince of this world.” “The god of this age.” He can exert vast power only so far as God suffers him to do so. He shall ultimately be cast into the Lake of Fire and brimstone and shall be tormented day and night forever.

Matthew 13:19, 39—“Then cometh the wicked one.… The enemy that sowed them is the devil.” John 13:2—“The devil having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him.” See also Acts 5:3; 2 Corinthians 11:3,14; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6.

John 8:44—“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.” 1 John 3:8—“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.” Satan is here set forth as a murderer, a liar, a sinner—all elements of personality. He had the “power over death” (Hebrews 2:14), and is the “prince of this world” (John 14:30).


5. Escotology (The End times):

In fulfillment of God’s historical purpose for humanity to rule and establish God’s kingdom on earth (Genesis 1:28; Psalms 8:4-8; Matthew 6:10; Hebrews 2:6-9), the Scriptures teach a millennial reign of Christ with his saints on earth following his literal return. The nation of Israel, having been redeemed, will play a central role in bringing the blessings of salvation to all nations during the millennium in fulfillment of biblical prophecies (e.g., Isaiah 2:1-4; 11:1-12; Jeremiah 23:5-6; Ezekiel 37; Amos 9:9-15; Zechariah 14; Matthew 19:28; Acts 1:6; 3:19-21; Revelation 20:4-7). Following the millennium, this kingdom will be merged into the eternal kingdom (I Corinthians 15:22-28).


6. The Doctrine of Salvation:
See "Life in the Son" by Robert Shank

A. Repentance and Belief.

There is no Salvation apart from Biblical Repentance that is manifested by a change of direction, attitudes and lifestyle, and that is in agreement with the Holiness moral of God’s eternal truth, His Word.

B. Salvation is a Person, Jesus Christ (John 14:6, Romans 1:16).

We completely reject the unbiblical teaching of Calvinism, the so-called Five points of Calvinism. Also we are against any teaching that teaches “Cheap grace” at the expense of God’s holiness. Only those who remain a faithful witness to Jesus Christ, overcoming till the end of their earthly lives or when the Lord’s returns are called “saved” and will reign with Him in the Millennium and then in Eternity future, that is the New Heaven and Earth as the Scriptures teach.

C. Grace - See the article "The Truth about Grace" PDF Word
 

7. The Doctrine of Hell:

We believe in the resurrection of the righteous to everlasting life and happiness and of the wicked to everlasting death destruction in the lake of fire; We believe in a literal Hell. (Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:34,41; Acts 24:15-16; 1 Corinthians 15:13; Mark 9:43-49)


8. The Doctrine of Baptisms:

A. Water Baptism:

As an outward sign for true biblical lasting repentance. We do not believe in Regenerational baptism, that is to say water baptism saves you. Secondly we do not baptize children below the age of 11-12, but we dedicate them through prayer, upon birth, unto the Lord (i.e. Christ’s example in the Temple). Thirdly, if a person that is truly repentant and walking with Christ and if he/she dies without having been water baptized or spirit baptized yet he/she is walking/living a biblical repentant life we maintain that for sure they will be in Heaven with Christ (i.e. The thief on the Cross). Our only method is by Immersion in the name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19-20)

B. Baptism of The Holy Spirit: (Matthew 3:11, Acts 1:4,5.)

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Sprit as an experience subsequent to salvation (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14,17; 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14-15). The initial physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is 'Speaking in Tongues,' as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.

C. Baptism of Fire: (Luke 3:16)

When a believer experiences a greater awareness of God’s Holiness and His/her Sinfulness. It causes us to hunger and thirst for more of God and less of the world.

D. Baptism of Blood / Martyrdom: (Matthew 20:22; Luke 12:50, Revelation 12:11)

Some do not live the rest of their potential because they are killed in the line of service in Christ's Kingdom. We do not mean when one commits suicide and ends his/her life, nor do we mean when one kills others in the name of Christ or God.
 

9. The Doctrine of Government:

Please see Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood A Biblical response to Evangelical Feminism by John Piper and Wayne Grudem.

A. We believe in the Five Fold Elders (Trans-local Leadership and ministry) of Ephesians 4:11-13; Acts 13:1; 15:32; 1 Corinthians 12:28 (The New Testament ministry calling of Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, Evangelist, Pastor.)

1. Apostle: Spiritual Fathers who must act in accordance with the canon early Apostles doctrine and conduct. They have no right to Rewrite Scriptures or add or erase any of it. They are to be held to the Final Authority of God's holy written Scriptures. If they do not, then they must be expelled of the fellowship and treated as the false or backsliding brothers who once knew the way but did not persevere in the fight of the faith of Christ and his early faithful canon disciples.

2. New Testament Prophets: Operate in Eldership position and have two gifts such as prophesy and word of knowledge/word of wisdom, etc.. They must teach and evangelize like the rest of the five fold elders.

3. Evangelist:

4. Teachers:

5. Pastors:

B. We believe in basic help Elders (for Local leadership/ministry only, males only) who must remain and be placed under the leadership and operation of the five fold Elders.

C. We believe in Deacons, males who operate under the leadership and authority of all Elders. The Deacons major ministry would be in the practical administrative work of the church, that is the mechanics and practical needs of the kingdom of God. Also operating in any of the nine motivation gifts of the Holy Spirit.

D. We believe in Deaconesses who operate like their male counter parts, but must remember to remain in the order which the Lord assigned unto them in their family, and function under the authority of all male deacons and Elders.

E. We believe in Civil Government. We believe civil laws should be upheld at all times, except in things opposed to the supreme moral will of God. See Article "Christian's Duty to Government" PDF Word
 

10. The Doctrine of Healing:

We believe that God uses doctors, medicines, and other material means for healing, but that divine healing is also provided in the atonement (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16,17) and may be appropriated by laying on of hands by elders (James 5:14-16) or by believers (Mark 16:17-18), by the prayers of any believer gifted for healing the sick (I Cor 12:9), or by a direct act of receiving this provision by faith (Mark 11:23).


11. The Doctrine of Communion:

We believe in the Lord's Supper (Communion) as a scriptural ordinance by Christ to His body. (Matthew 26:17-30; Mark 14:12-26; Luke 22:14-23; John 13:1-4; 1 Corinthians 10:16; 11:28-32)


12. The Doctrine of Giving:

We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving out of a cheerful heart. (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7).
