OUR 16 FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS
01. THE SCRIPTURES INSPIRED
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 [KJV/NIV] 1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV/NIV] 2 Peter 1:21 [KJV/NIV]
02. 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. Deuteronomy 6:4 [KJV/NIV], Isaiah 43:10,11 [KJV/NIV], Matthew 28:19 [KJV/NIV], Luke 3:22 [KJV/NIV]
03. THE DEITY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare:His virgin birth Matthew 1:23 [KJV/NIV]Luke 1:31 [KJV/NIV]Luke 1:35 [KJV/NIV]His sinless lifeHebrews 7:26 [KJV/NIV]1 Peter 2:22 [KJV/NIV]His miraclesActs 2:22 [KJV/NIV]Acts 10:38 [KJV/NIV]His substitutionary work on the cross1 Corinthians 15:3 [KJV/NIV]2 Corinthians 5:21 [KJV/NIV]His bodily resurrection from the deadMatthew 28:6 [KJV/NIV]Luke 24:39 [KJV/NIV]1 Corinthians 15:4 [KJV/NIV]His exaltation to the right hand of God
04. THE FALL OF MAN
Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.Genesis 1:26,27 [KJV/NIV]Genesis 2:17 [KJV/NIV]Genesis 3:6 [KJV/NIV]Romans 5:12-19 [KJV/NIV]
05. THE SALVATION OF MAN
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God Conditions to SalvationSalvation 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, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.Luke 24:47 [KJV/NIV]John 3:3 [KJV/NIV]Romans 10:13-15 [KJV/NIV]Ephesians 2:8 [KJV/NIV]Titus 2:11 [KJV/NIV]Titus 3:5-7 [KJV/NIV]
06. THE ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH
Baptism in Water
The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Saviour and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.
Holy Communion
The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements --bread and the fruit of the vine-- is the symbol exp
07. THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
08. THE INITIAL PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF THE BAPTISM IN THE SPIRIT
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.
The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift of tongues, but is different in purpose and use.
09. SANCTIFICATION
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God. Romans 12:1,2 [KJV/NIV] 1 Thessalonians 5:23 [KJV/NIV] Hebrews 13:12 [KJV/NIV] Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by the faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.
10. THE CHURCH AND ITS MISSION
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven.
11. THE MINISTRY
A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the fourfold purpose of leading the Church in:
Evangelization of the world.
Worship of God.
Building a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son.
Meeting human need with ministries of love and compassion.
13. THE BLESSED HOPE
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church. 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 [KJV/NIV] Romans 8:23 [KJV/NIV] Titus 2:13 [KJV/NIV] 1 Corinthians 15:51,52 [KJV/NIV]
14. THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.
This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel,
and the establishment of universal peace.
15. THE FINAL JUDGMENT
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
