TENETS OF FAITH
1. The Inspiration of the Scriptures.
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to human beings, the infallible rule of faith and conduct (II Tim. 3:15-17; I Thess. 2:13; II Peter 1:20,21).
2. The One True God
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM", the Creator of heaven and earth, and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deut.6:4; Isa. 43:10-11; Matt. 28:19; Lk 3:22).
3. The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare His virgin birth (Matt. 1:23; Lk. 1:31-35), His sinless life (Heb 7:26; I Pet. 2:22), His miracles (Acts 2:22; 10:38), His substitutionary work on the cross (I Cor. 15:4), and His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9-11; Heb. 1:3).
4. The Fall of Humanity.
Humans were created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." However, humans by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God (Gen. 1:26-27; 2:17; 3:6; Rom. 5:12-19).
5. The Salvation of Humanity.
Human beings' only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, humans become heirs of God, and witness the hope of eternal life. (Lk. 24:47; Jn. 3:16; Rom. 10:13-15; Eph. 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7). The outward evidence is a life of godly conduct evidenced by spiritual growth. (Rom. 12:6-7; Gal. 5:22-23).
6. The Ordinances of the Church.
Water Baptism. Those who have repented of their sins and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation shall be baptized by immersion in water. The person baptized thereby indicates that he/she has died with Christ and that he/she also has been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48).
7. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
All believers are entitled to and should expect and receive the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to the instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9). With the Baptism in the Holy Spirit comes such experiences as an overflowing fullness of the Spirit (Jn. 7:37-39; Acts 4:8); a deepened reverence for God (Acts 2:43; Heb. 12:28), an intensified consecration to God, a dedication to His Work (Acts 2:42); and a more active love for Christ, for His Word, and for the lost (Mk. 16:20).
8. The Physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
The baptism fo believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4). The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same essence as the gift of tongues (I Cor. 12:4-10,28), but different in purpose and use.
