1. The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God to man, the infallible and authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
2. There is One True God revealed to us in the Scriptures as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
3. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God of whom the Scriptures declare:
a) His deity
b) His virgin Birth
c) His sinless life
d) His miracles
e) His substitutionary and vicarious death on the cross
f) His bodily resurrection from the dead
g) His being on the right hand of God
h) His literal, physical Second Coming.
4. Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death and separation from God. Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This salvation is by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
5. All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Ghost 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 work of the ministry. The baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are the privilege of the Church and should be a normal part of our lives and worship.
6. Divine healing is an integral part of the Gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.
7. Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God. The Scriptures teach a life of "holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord". By the power of the Holy Ghost, we are also to obey the command: "Be ye holy, for I am holy." Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of the union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.
8. The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of the great commission. Each believer born of the Spirit is an integral part of the invisible church and is presently seated with Christ in the heavenlies. The Church recognizes two ordinances instituted by Jesus Christ which are to be observed by believers until He comes again: Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
9. The divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the two-fold purpose of a) The evangelization of the world, and b) The edifying of the Body of Christ.
10. 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 blessed hope of the Church. 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, and beast and false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Rev. 19:20; 20:14; 21:8. And "we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness."
