Doctrine

THE BIBLE

-We believe the full inspiration of the Word of God. We hold the Word of God to be the only authority in all matters and assert that no doctrine can be true or essential, if it does not find a place in this Word.

THE FATHER

- We believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Author and Creator of all things.

THE SON

- We believe that Jesus was and is eternal in his person and nature as the Son of God who was with God in the beginning of creation (John 1:1). We believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin called Mary according to the scripture (Matthew 1:18), thus giving the rise to our fundamental-belief in the Virgin Birth and to all the miraculous events surrounding this Phenomenon (Matthew 1:18-25). We believe that Jesus Christ became the "Suffering Servant" to man; this suffering servant came seeking to redeem man from sin and to reconcile him back to God, his Father. (Romans 5:10).

THE HOLY GHOST

- We believe that the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, proceeds from the Father and the Son, is of the same substance equal in power and in glory, and is, together with the Father and the Son, to be believed in, obeyed, and worshipped. The Holy Ghost is a gift bestowed upon the believer for the purpose of equipping and empowering the believer, making him a more effective witness for service in the world.

SALVATION

- Salvation deals with the application of the work of redemption to the sinner with his restoration to divine favor and communion with God. This redemptive operation of the Holy Ghost upon sinners is brought about by repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ which brings about conversion, faith, justification, regeneration, sanctification, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Repentance is the work of God which results in a change of mind in respect of man's relationship to God. (Matthew 3:1,2, 4:17; Acts 20:21).

DIVINE HEALING

- It is a commandment of Jesus to the Apostles ( St. Mark 16:18). Jesus affirms his teachings on healing by explaining to his disciples, who were to be Apostles, that healing the Afflicted is by faith ( St. Luke 9:40- 41). Therefore, we believe that healing by Faith in God has scriptural support and ordained authority. James' writing in his epistles encourage elders to pray for the sick, lay hands upon them and to anoint them with oil, and that prayers with faith shall heal the sick and the Lord shall raise them up.

MIRACLES

- Miracles occur to convince men that the Bible is God's word. A miracle can be defined as an extraordinary visible act of Divine power, wrought by the efficient agency of the will of God, which has as its final cause the vindication of the righteousness of God's Word. We believe that the works of God, which were performed during the beginnings of Christianity do and will occur even today where God is preached, Faith in Christ is exercised, The Holy Ghost is active, and the Gospel is Promulgated in the truth (Acts 5:15; 6:8; 9:40; Luke 4:36; 7:14-15; 5:5-6; Mark 14:15)

THE LORDS SUPPER (HOLY COMMUNION)


- The Lord's Supper symbolizes the Lord's death and suffering for the benefit and in the place of His people. It also symbolizes the believers participation in the Crucified Christ. It represents the death of Christ as the object of faith which unites the believers to Christ, but also the effect of this act as giving life, strength, and joy to the Soul. The communicant by faith enters into a special spiritual union of His soul with the glorified Christ.


Prayer to Receive Jesus As Savior

O Dear Heavenly Father Your Word says


"...him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out?"(John 6:37). So I know you won't cast me out but you take me in and I thank you for it. You also said, "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart of man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10). "You said in your word, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."(Romans 10:13) I am calling on your name, so I know you have saved me now. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe that he was raised from the dead for my justification. And I confess him now as my Lord, Because your Word says, "...with the heart of man believeth unto righteousness" and I do believe with my heart. I have now become the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor. 5:21)and I am saved! Thank you Lord!
