Holy Bible  

The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final  authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible  and inerrant (2Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26).  


Trinity  

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These  three are co-equal and co-eternal (I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke  1:35;  Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11).  

 

Jesus Christ  

Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God  and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin,  lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day  according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again  in power and glory (John 1:1,14, 20:28; 1Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6;  1Timothy 2:5).  


Virgin Birth  

Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third person of  the Trinity) in the virgin Mary's womb; therefore, He is the Son of God (Matthew 1:18, 25;  Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18, 23-25; Luke 1:27-35).  


Redemption  

Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of  redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen.1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).  


Regeneration  

For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (John 6:44,  65).  


Salvation  

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and resurrection.  Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts  (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews  9:22).  


Repentance  

Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to  follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation  (Acts 2:21, 3:19; 1 John 1:9). 


Sanctification  

Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God's Word and His Spirit  in order to  complete the development of Christ's character in us. It is through the present ministry of  the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a godly life  (1Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, Romans  8:29, 12:1-2, Hebrews 2:11).  


Jesus' Blood  

The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient  to cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness  and our sins, enabling all those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is  death (1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians 1:20; Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:9; John 1:29).  


Jesus Christ Indwells All Believers  

Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them  by His Holy Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to him thus making Jesus  the Lord of their life as well as Savior. They put their trust in what Jesus accomplished for  them when He died, was buried, and rose again from the dead (John 1:12; John 14:17, 23;  John 15:4; Romans 8:11; Revelations 3:20).  


Baptism in the Holy Spirit  

Given at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus after His Ascension, to  empower the church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth (Joel 2:28-29;  Matthew 3:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:38, 44-47, 11:15-17,  19:1-6).  


The Gifts of the Holy Spirit  

The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual  gifts to build and sanctify the  church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel.  The Bible lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in  various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of  the gifts  in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and  should never be used in violation of Biblical parameters (Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12  :4-8; Ephesians 4:16; 2 Timothy 1:5-16, 4:14; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Peter 4:10).  


The Church  

The church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine  appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus' great commission. Every person who is born of  the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews  12:23; John 17:11, 20-23).  


Healing of the Sick  

Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus, and included in the  commission of Jesus to His disciples. It is given as a sign which is to follow believers. It is  also a part of Jesus' work on the Cross and one of the gifts of the Spirit (Psalm 103:2-3;  Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:17-18; Acts 8:6-7; James 5:14-16; 1 Corinthians  12:9, 28; Romans 11:29).   


God's Will for Provision  

It is the Father's will for believers to become whole, healthy and successful in all areas of  life. But because of the fall, many may not receive the full benefits of God's will while on  Earth. That fact, though, should never prevent all believers from seeking the full  benefits of  Christ's provision in order to better serve others.  

1. Spiritual (John 3:3-11; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 10:9-10).  

2. Mental and Emotional (2 Timothy 1:7, 2:11; Philippians 4:7-8; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 26:3).   

3. Physical (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24).  

4. Financial (Joshua 1:8; Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6-10;  Deuteronomy  28:1-14; Psalm 34:10, 84:11; Philippians 4:19).  


Resurrection  

Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after  His death on the cross. In addition, both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; they that  are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal  damnation (Luke 24:16, 36, 39; John 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians  15:42, 44; Philippians 1:21-23, 3:21).  


Heaven  

Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew  5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34; John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; 1 Peter 1:4).  


Hell  

After living one life on earth, the unbelievers will be judged by God and sent to Hell where  they will be eternally tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels (Matthew 25:41; Mark  9:43-48; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:8).  


Second Coming  

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His  Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures (Matthew 24:30,   26:63-64; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7).
