All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for Doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2nd Timothy 3:16-17
RECORD OF MEMBERSHIP
The names of members are kept on record in Heaven (Luke 10:20). For it is written, "The Lord shall count, when He written up the people, that this man was born there" (Psalms 87:6). All must be "born of water and Spirit" in this dispensation, if they desire their names to be written in Heaven (Hebrews 12:22-23). However, for the matter of legal record we recommend that the name of each individual who is recognized as being subject to the rule of a local organization should be kept in the record of such congregation.
GOD STANDARD OF SALVATION
We earnestly contend for God's standard of Salvation. In the Word of God, we can find nothing short of a Holy, Spirit-filled life with SIGNS FOLLOWING as on the day of Pentecost (Mark 16:16-17)
REPENTANCE AND REMISSION OF SINS
The only grounds upon which God will accept a sinner is repentance from the heart for the sins that he has committed. A broken and a contrite heart, He will not despise (Psalms 51:17) John preached repentance and remission of sins be preached in His name, beginning at Jerusalem (Luke 24:47) Peter fulfilled this command on the Day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:38)
THE GODHEAD
We fully believe in the mystery of the Godhead. We believe that Jesus was both human and divine, and further, that the Godhead be understood to mean all of the fullness of God (Colossians 1:19). We believe that Jesus was Mary's son and Mary's God, Creator and creature, God manifest in the flesh that Jesus was the Eternal Father made visible, apart from whom there is no God. We believe that at the final consummation of all things there will be only one Go, and that will be our Lord Jesus Christ.
DIVINE HEALING
The Lord is our Healer (Exodus 1526). The Lord made our bodies. Should it be thought a thing incredible that He can heal us? With His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 534).
THE COMING OF CHRIST
That Jesus is coming to earth in person is a doctrine clearly set forth in apostolic times. Jesus taught it. The Apostles preached it, and the saints accepted it (See Matt.24:1)
OFFERING
The old method of begging, rallying giving socials, shows and concerts to carry on God's word is not God's plan. We believe that if the people of God would obey His word there would be plenty of hand to carry on His work without scheming and grafting. "Tithing, and freewill offering" is God's Plan (Malachi 3:8-12)
TRANSLATION OF SAINTS
We believe that the time draweth near for the coming of the Lord to make a change in the present order of things, and at that time all the righteous dead shall rise from the graves, and "we that are alive" and living righteous before God shall be translated or "caught up to meet the Lord in the air."
THE MILLENIUM
Moreover, we believe that the distress upon the world is the "beginning of sorrows" and will become more intense until there "shall be a time of trouble such as there never was since there was a nation even to that time (Matt.24:3-8), and that period of tribulation will be followed by the dawn of a better day on earth, and that for one thousand years there shall be "peace on earth, good will toward men" (Revelation 20:1-5)
FINAL JUDGEMENT
When the thousand years are finished there shall be a resurrection of the dead, who shall be summoned before the Great White Throne for their final judgement, all those whose names are not found written in the Book of Life shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, burning with brimstone, which God hath prepared for the devil and his angels. Satan being cast in first (Revelation 207-15).
WHOLLY SANCTIFIED LIFE
We believe that in order to escape the judgement of God and to have the hope of enjoying the glory of life eternal, one must be thoroughly saved from his sins, wholly sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost. And that a wholly sanctified life is the only true standard of Christian lite (Hebrews 12:14
