We
believe the bible contains scriptures that
are the inspiration of God
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:
We
believe Jesus Christ was God manifested in
the flesh
1
Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is
the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in
the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the
world, received up into glory.
Matthew
1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and
shall bring forth a son, and they shall call
his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,
God with us.
We
believe there is one God
Ephesians
4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God
and Father of all, who is above all, and through
all, and in you all.
We believe God called all mankind
to holiness
1
Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning
yourselves according to the former lusts in your
ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you
is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am
holy.
1Thessalonians
4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness,
but unto holiness.
Ephesians
1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before
the foundation of the world, that we should be
holy and without blame before him in love:
We
believe in repentance and baptism in the
name of Jesus Christ or Lord Jesus.
Acts
2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts
8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem
heard that Samaria had received the word of God,
they sent unto them Peter and John:
Acts
10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the
Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed
were astonished, as many as came with Peter,
because that on the Gentiles also was poured
out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard
them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then
answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water,
that these should not be baptized, which have
received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And
he commanded them to be baptized in the name
of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain
days.
Acts
19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos
was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the
upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain
disciples, 2 He said unto them, Have ye received
the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said
unto him, We have not so much as heard whether
there be any Holy Ghost. 3 And he said unto them,
Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said,
Unto John's baptism. 4 Then said Paul, John verily
baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying
unto the people, that they should believe on
him which should come after him, that is, on
Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard this, they were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And
when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy
Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues,
and prophesied. 7 And all the men were about
twelve.
We believe in the apostles' doctrine
Acts
2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles'
doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread,
and in prayers.
John
17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for
them also which shall believe on me through their
word;
Ephesians
2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being
the chief corner stone;
