We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God, and that there is one Lord,
one Faith and one Baptism. (Ephesians 4:5)
ONE LORD
There is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the Creator of heaven and earth, and all living beings. He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), in the Son (Jesus Christ), and as the Holy Ghost (indwelling of the Spirit). (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16)
ONE FAITH
We believe the original doctrine that was delivered to the Apostles in the book of Acts.
(2 Timothy 3:16)
ONE BAPTISM
One baptism refers to baptism by immersion in water, and the Holy Spirit baptism experienced by the first church in Acts Chapter 2. (Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16)
Water baptism is an essential part of New Testament salvation and not merely a symbolic ritual. It is part of entering into the kingdom of God, and therefore, it is not merely a part of local church membership. (John 3:5; Gal 3:27)
We believe that the Spirit of God indwells an individual as part of the New Birth process and is evidenced initially with the miraculous experience of speaking in tongues as it is referred to in the New Testament. (Acts 2:4; Acts 8; Acts 10)
We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy; words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, healing, helps and government. (Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 2 Corinthians 12:1-11)
