The bible
We believe in the verbal and plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, known as the Bible, composed of sixty-six books, and divided into two departments, Old and New Testaments. We believe the Bible is the Word of God, the full and complete revelation of the plan and history of redemption.
THE FATHER: . We believe there is but one living and true God, everlasting, of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness, Maker, and Preserver of all things, both visible and invisible
THE SON: We believe that the Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man’s nature in the womb of the blessed virgin. And that Christ did truly rise from the dead,
THE HOLY GHOST: We believe the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one substance; three manifestations.
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST: We believe that the Pentecostal baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire is obtainable by a definite act of appropriating faith on the part of the fully cleansed believer, and the initial evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Luke 11:13, Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 8:17, 10:44-46, 19:6).
MAN: We believe that man was created holy by God, composed of body and soul. We believe that man, by nature, is sinful and unholy. Being born in sin, he needs to be born again, sanctified, and cleansed from all sins by the blood of Jesus. We believe that man is saved by confessing and forsaking his sins, and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, and that having become a child of God, by being born again and adopted into the family of God, he may, and should, claim the inheritance of the sons of God, namely the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Salvation and Water Baptism
Water Baptism is intended only for those who have professed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a God-given illustration of each Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. Obedience to this ordinance demonstrates the believer’s public confession of this fact to others. Faith is a certain conviction wrought in the heart by the Holy Spirit, as to the truth of the Gospel and a heart trust in the promises of God in Christ (Romans 1:17, 3:28; St. Matthew 9:22; Acts 26:18). Conversion is that act of God whereby He causes the regenerated sinner, in his conscious life, to turn to Him in repentance and faith.
Holy Communion
- The bread and the wine should be administered to all Christians (only unfermented wine should be used).
- The Lord’s Table should be open to all who love Him, and all of the Lord’s children should be invited to His Table to commemorate together the death of their common Lord.
- This shall be administered at least once a month to each general assembly. And every third Sunday.
DEMONS: Demons denote unclean or evil spirits; they are sometimes called devils or demonic beings. They are evil spirits, belonging to the unseen or spiritual realm, embodied in human beings. The Old Testament refers to the prince of demons, sometimes called Satan (Adversary) or Devil, as having power and wisdom, taking the habitation of other forms such as the serpent (Genesis 3:1). The New Testament speaks of the Devil as Tempter (St. Matthew 4:3) and it goes on to tell the works of Satan, The Devil, and Demons as combating righteousness and good in any form, proving to be an adversary to the saints. Their chief power is exercised to destroy the mission of Jesus Christ. It can well be said that the Christian Church believes in Demons, Satan, and Devils. We believe in their power and purpose. We believe they can be subdued and conquered as in the commandment to the believer by Jesus. “In my name they shall cast out Satan and the work of the Devil and to resist him and then he will flee (WITHDRAW) from you.” (St. Mark 16:17). At the mention of his name (Jesus) every knee shall bow every tongue shall confess that he is Lord. Philippians 2:10.
Angels: The Bible uses the term “angel” (a heavenly body) clearly and primarily to denote messengers or ambassadors of God with such scripture references as Revelations 4:5, which indicates their duty in heaven to praise God (Psalm 103:20), to do God’s will (St. Matthew 18:10) and to behold his face. But since heaven must come down to earth, they also have a mission to earth. The Bible indicates that they accompanied God in the Creation, and also that they will accompany Christ in His return in Glory. Angels are God’s messengers and Spiritual Army. Angels are spirit beings; they often minister or serve in very physical ways. Specifically, they minister to those called to be God’s people today.
THE CHURCH: Our Lord’s last command on earth was to charge every believer with the responsibility of taking the gospel to all nations. We can never be content just experiencing God through Christ for ourselves. We must also be actively involved in spreading the gospel to others – to the– to the ends of the earth.
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST We believe in the imminent, personal, premillennial second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The word imminent means the second coming of Christ is near; it is impending, likely to occur at any moment (Matthew 25:29-44, Mark 13:32-37; Titus 2:13). The word personal means “the Lord himself” shall return (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18); the “same Jesus” who was “taken up into heaven shall so come in like manner” as He was seen to “go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). The word premillennial means He will come before the millennium during which the “blessed and holy” of the “first resurrection” will live and reign with Christ “a thousand years” (Revelation 20:4-6).The second coming of Christ will occur in two stages; the first for the purpose of catching away His saints who are prepared for the Rapture before the Great Tribulation period (Matthew 24:40-44, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 3:10-11, 4:1-2); and the second at the end of the Great Tribulation, when He shall come back with His saints to destroy the armies of the Antichrist, to judge the nations of the world, and to inaugurate the millennial reign
DIVINE HEALING: We believe provision was made in the atonement for the healing of our bodies as set forth in the following Scriptures: Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:16-17, Mark 16:15- 18; James 5:14-16; Exodus 15:26; to which we would also add Romans 8:26-28. And, while we do not condemn the use of medical means in the treatment of physical disease, we do believe in, practice, and commend to our people the laying on of hands by the elders or leaders of the church, the anointing with oil in the name of the Lord, and the offering of prayers for the healing of the sick.
MIRACLES:
Jesus helped heal people, such as in the story of Blind Bartimaeus (John 9:1-7).He fed 5000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish (John 6: 5-14).Jesus changed water into wine (John 2:1-11)He also controlled nature, such as in the miracle of calming the storm (Matthew 8: 23-27). The word of God do not change. The same miracles he did back than he continues to perform today. He is the same yesterday today and forever more. A miracle working God.
THE ORDINANCES OF THE ORGANIZATION
Holy Communion: The Sacrament of Holy Communion the Supper of the Lord is a sign of the love that Christians ought to have for one another and our redemption by Christ’s death. The bread that we break is a partaking of the body of Christ and likewise the cup is a partaking of the blood of Christ. In the Holiness doctrine, the Supper of the Lord is administered to all Christians alike.
The Lord’s Supper was instituted on the night our Lord met with His disciples to keep the annual Passover and also the same night in which he was betrayed. During the Lord’s Supper, Jesus took the opportunity to inform His disciples that they would no longer need to celebrate the Passover as they traditionally had because after tonight, he was going to become their Passover lamb. His body was going to be sacrificed and broken for them and his blood was going to be shed for them.
Before we partake in the Lord’s Supper in a meaningful way, it is essential that we engage in an
honest self-examination: unconfessed sin, examine our minds to ensure our thoughts are of the
ministry of Christ and examine our motives to see if what we do and say is pleasing to God and for his Glory. (Matthew 26:17-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30).
The Sacrament of Holy Baptism the non – denominational churches united recognizes and observes two holy sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion. The modes of baptism are pouring, sprinkling, and immersion. Regardless of the mode administered, baptism is a powerful symbol of regeneration and initiation into the community of faith – Christ’s Church. Holy Communion services as a memorial of the death and suffering of Christ and celebrates the abundant life we have through Him.
To baptize by immersion is to plunge the whole person into water. Baptism symbolizes the death, burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Submerging believers under water is symbolic of the death and burial of Jesus Christ. The emergence from the water portrays the resurrection and life of Jesus Christ. Finally, water baptism is also a witness to the world that one is no longer united with the devil, but united with Christ.
The sacrament of baptism publicly declares that you belong to Christ. The sacrament of baptism signals to the world that you have decided to begin a new life; one that will intentionally focus on living righteously for Christ as per the Holy Scriptures.
Feet Washing is practiced and recognized as an ordinance in our organization because Christ the lord, by example, illustrated that humility characterized greatness in the Kingdom of God, and that service of servitude, to others show evidence that humility, motivated by love, exists. These services are held subsequent to the Lord’s Supper. However, it is decided how often it is given by the pastor of the church but it is given in all installments of clergy assemblies.
