Church Doctrine
We believe in ....................
A Life of Sanctification, Consecration, and Godliness
We must cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit (II Cor. 7:1) and separate ourselves from all worldliness (James 4:4). We contend that sanctification initially begins at regeneration. It continues progressively throughout the life of the believer and is finalized at the rapture in which the Christian will receive complete Christ-likeness (I John 3:1-3). We believe that Biblical sanctification can be produced only by the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. When the believer is fully occupied with love for his Lord, it is the "constraining love of Christ" (II Cor. 5:14) that causes him to gladly live a sanctified, consecrated, and godly life.
After being saved, we are commanded to "go and sin no more." (John 8:11). Our lives are to be set apart from sin, consecrated, and dedicated solely to God for His glory. We are commanded to live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world (Titus 2:12). We are also instructed that without holiness, no man shall see the Lord (Heb. 12:14).
Living a holy life
Holiness is not like the religion of men; it totally reflects the will of the One God! The scriptures do not point to anything else for God’s people to follow, and with God’s help, we are determined
to lift up The Holy Standard of God. Sin is not justified in any form, but rather it is total
obedience unto God. Holiness involves surrenderingyour will to God’s will
with submission and self-denial to every way that is against God.
II Corinthians 7:1, “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselvesfrom all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” Ephesians 4:24,“And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and TRUEHOLINESS.” Hebrews 12:14, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no manshall see the Lord.” I Peter 1:16, “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
The scripture teaches us, “And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and betweenunclean and clean” (Leviticus 10:10). The scriptures also say, “The Lord is righteous in all hisways, and holy in all his works” (Psalm 145:17). The prophets and apostles were Holy Men.They did not profess any other religion, nor will we. “For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is alsoholy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches” (Romans 11:16).
The Infallibility of Scripture
The Bible is the inspired Word of God to man. It gives a true history of the creation of the heavens, the earth, and of mankind. It contains a correct prophecy concerning the destiny of man and of all things. We believe that the Word of God is inerrant and infallible.
"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." (II Tim. 3:16-17). We contend that there is true harmony in all the scriptures, when rightly divided (II Tim. 2:15). There is no salvation outside of that contained within the pages of the Bible. The only rule of faith and conduct is the Bible

The Oneness of the Godhead
Both Old and New Testaments affirm the solemn fact that there is but one God (Deut. 6:4, Gal. 3:20, Eph. 4:6). God is a Spirit and there is but one Spirit (John 4:24; Eph. 4:4). There is but one God in essence and in person. The one God is the eternally self-existent One, the eternal "I Am" (Ex. 3:13-15), the Creator of the heavens and the earth and of all mankind. He is the one true
God from whom and in whom there is a divine three-fold manifestation and relationship made known
as Father (Creator, Source and Origin of all things and of all souls)
(Isa. 43:10, 44:6), Son (Redeemer in time) (Matt. 1:21, John 3:16) and Holy Ghost (Indwelling Spirit, Comforter, Sustainer, Keeper and Regenerator in the Church) (John 14:16-26, Rom. 8:11). The Lord, our Savior Jesus Christ, is that God.
Jesus Christ is the God-Man. He is the true Son of God and the true Son of man according to the flesh. Jesus is God manifested in the flesh and Savior of the world (John 1:1-14, I Tim. 3:16). He was conceived and born of the virgin Mary by the Holy Ghost (St. Luke 1:30-32); yet, this does not destroy His Pre-existence in Spirit as the Mighty God (Gen. 1:1, Isa. 9:6, Matt. 1:23, Col. 1:16-17).

Faith and Repentance Toward God
A person must come to God by faith in the gospel message (Heb. 11:6, Rom. 1:16, Mark 16:15-16). We believe that saving faith leads one to obey the gospel, and that obedience based upon such faith brings salvation. We also believe that the only means of sinners being accepted by God is by genuine repentance of their sins. Repentance is a change of heart, mind, and attitude toward sins (Isa. 55:7). "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." (Ps. 51:17). John the Baptist preached repentance. Jesus proclaimed it, and before His ascension, commanded "that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24:46-47)
The Essentiality of Water Baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the Remission of Sins
Water baptism is an essential part of New Testament salvation and not, as some teach, "just an outward form of an inward cleansing". Without proper baptism, it is impossible for one to be saved. Without proper baptism, one cannot enter into the kingdom of God (God's true church) (John 3:5). Baptism is not merely a part of local church membership.
Water baptism can be administered only by immersion (John 3:5, Rom. 6:4, Col. 2:12). Jesus said, "... born (to bring forth) of the water..." (John 3:5). Paul said, "We are buried with Him (Lord Jesus Christ) by baptism." (Rom. 6:4). Philip and the Eunuch "went down into the water", and "... come up out of the water." (Acts 8:38-39).
The purpose of water baptism is for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16). It is in baptism that the blood of Jesus Christ is applied to the believer in purification of the conscience and in the cleansing of the soul (Heb. 9:22, Acts 2:38, Rom. 6:4, I Peter 3:21).
Water baptism should be administered in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:38, 8:16, 19:5). Baptism should not be administered in the titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, as some contend. Jesus was the name given to our Savior before His birth: "...for He shall save His people from their sins." (Matt. 1:21). "Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12). The apostles always administered baptism in the name of Jesus Christ from the Day of Pentecost forward (Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5). Let us note in Matthew 28:19, as Jesus stated His Great Commission, that the word "name" is singular and not plural. This signifies that there is to be one name used in baptism. The apostles understood that name to be Jesus. Father, Son and Holy Ghost are titles that express God's relationship to His creatures. He is the Father in creation. He is the Son in His redemptive role in saving mankind from sin. He is also the Holy Ghost in His sanctifying and preserving the indwelt believer, but His name is one - Jesus (Zech. 14:9).

Holy Communion
The Lord's Supper is an ordinance commanded by Jesus Christ (Matt. 26:26-29, I Cor. 11:23-32). Melchizedek administered the same (Gen. 14:18, Heb. 6:20). It is our conviction to use (unleavened) bread and wine (Matt. 26:17, I Cor. 5:6-8). The bread and the wine are legitimate representatives of the broken body and the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 26:26-28, I Cor. 11:24-25).
The Pre-Millennial Return of the Lord Jesus Christ and The Resurrection & Rapture of the True Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ
The Pre-Millennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in bodily form as He went up (Acts 1:11) is doctrinally set forth by the apostles in the New Testament. It was taught by Jesus Christ and the early church looked forward to it
(Matt. 24, Acts 3:19-21, Phil. 3:20-21, I Thes. 4:14-17, Titus 2:13-14, Rev. 22:20).

Eternal Judgment
"It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this, the judgment." (Heb. 9:27). The godly will appear before the judgment seat of Christ (II Cor. 5:10). This is the judgment for reward for the works of a believer. The final judgment is known as the Great White Throne Judgment. Those of this judgment are the wicked from the beginning of human history to the judgment at the Great White Throne (Rev. 20:11-15). This judgment of the wicked results in everlasting punishment.
Tithes AND OFFERINGS
Should you Tithe?
We believe that God has a master plan for your financial success, and that tithing is part of that plan. God says that the tithe belongs to Him, that it supports the work of the ministry, and that He will bless those who are faithful to tithe.

what if i dont trust tithing
Remember: Tithing is more of a heart issue than a money issue. If you're struggling with the idea of tithing or giving, spend some time with God, asking Him to give you wisdom and show you ways that you can help others—or even just be more generous
God does not reject tithes — He corrects our motivation and focuses on the attitude with which we bring our gifts to Him. This is exactly what 2 Corinthians 9:7 says: “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
