 WE BELIEVE IN

 ...the Bible, the verbal inspiration and reliability of the Holy Scriptures. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; I
 Thessalonians 2:13)

 ...the Trinity of the Godhead. There is one God eternally existent in three persons: The Father, Son, and Holy
 Spirit. (Matthew 28:18-20)

 ...Jesus and His eternal deity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension, and
 imminent return. (John 1:1; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:26-28)

 ...the Holy Spirit. He dwells in the heart of every believer to impart the character of Christ, and He comes
 upon God’s people in power to equip them for ministry. His gifts are available to every believer today. We
 believe that in all matters concerning the Body of Christ: in its direction, discipline, ministry and functioning,
 that specific guidance, instruction, revelation, and discerning of truth from falsehood is available by the leading
 of the Holy Spirit who enables us to know spiritual things by the Spirit. (Acts 2:38-39; Galatians 5:22-23; I
 Corinthians 12:4-11; Acts 13:1-3; Romans 8:14; John 16:13-15)

 ...the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. The baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire is a gift from God as promised by the
 Lord Jesus Christ to all believers and is received subsequent to the New Birth. Evidences of this experience may
 be speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance and/or prophesying. (Matthew 3:11; John
 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; Acts 2:38-39; Acts19:1-7)

 ...forgiveness of sins, available only through the blood of Jesus. (Matthew 26:27-28)

 ...salvation, by grace through faith, apart from works of our own. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

 ...divine healing. Healing is for the physical, emotional, and psychological ills of the human body and soul. It is
 wrought by the sovereign power of God. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of
 every member of the Church today. (Isaiah 53; Mark 16:18; James 5:15; I Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17)

 ...the Lord’s Supper, a covenant meal celebrating our unity with Jesus and one another. (Luke 22:19-20; I
 Corinthians 10:16-17)

 ...water baptism, a public testimony of our identification with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection life.
 (Romans 6:3-4)

 ...literal heaven and life everlasting for true believers. (Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-17)
