We Believe The Church is a Spiritual House built upon The Rock of Revelation to offer up spiritual sacrifices to God. (1 Pet 2:5; John 4:23; Heb13:15-16)
Jesus said “Flesh and blood has not revealed this unto you, but my Father in heaven has revealed this unto you, and upon this rock will I build my church”. . .We believe that the church is built upon the Spiritual Revelation of Jesus Christ. (Mt 16:15-20; Luke 10:21)
The New Birth
We believe in the born again experience by repentance, water baptism and the infilling of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38; Acts 19:1-7; John 16:12-16; John 5:19-20)
Baptism
We believe in and teach Water Baptism by immersion and that it should be administered by a duly authorized minister of the Gospel by the authority and in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, as practiced by the Apostles. (Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:4-5; 1 Cor 1:30; Col 3:17)
The Mystery of God
There is one Eternal God, who is spirit, omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. He is manifested in the Old Testament in various ways and under different names such as GOD ALMIGHTY, JEHOVAH, ELOHIM, ADONI and “I AM THAT I AM.” In the New Testament, God is manifested in three offices of “FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST” which is the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the New Testament name of God. (Isaiah 44:6-8; Mk 12:29; John 5:24; 1 Cor 8:6; Col 2:9; 1 Tim 3:16) Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. “for when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law.” “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself.” “For in Him (Jesus) dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell. “Without controversy great is the mystery of Godliness.”
God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (1 Tim 3:16)
Jesus in his humanity was man; in His duty was God. His flesh was the Lamb or sacrifice of God. (Heb 10:10-20)
The man Christ Jesus is the mediator between God and man. (1 Tim 2:5) God is One person. He has many names, offices and manifestations as: God, Son of God, Son of Man, Son of David, Lord of all, King, Shepherd, Priest, Holy One, Lamb, Alpha and Omega. He is all in all. He is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Communion
We hold that the natural elements of the bread and wine are only symbolic of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. (John 6:56-63) However, Jesus taught “this do in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22:19, 10) Also Paul wrote, “for as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.” 1 Cor 11:23-30. Since Spiritual partaking of the Lord will never cease, it is scriptural to believe that an observance is necessary to be kept in remembrance of His death. We shall show due Christian courtesy to those who do not understand the necessity of such observance.
The Believers Security
We believe that once truly saved the believer is secure eternally from the judgments of God; Nevertheless, the Holy Scriptures entreat us not to turn our grace into disgrace but to perfect holiness in the fear of God. (John 10:27, 30; 5:24; Eph 2:6; Rom 6:1)
Finally
We believe that the Seven Seals of the book of Revelation are open to the Body of Christ and the Mystery of God being revealed in our day. (Rev 5-8; 10:1-7; Luke 17:31; Mal 4:4-6)
