THE HOLY BIBLE
God's Word Teaches: That the Holy Bible, consisting of 39 books of the Old Testaments and
27 books of the New Testament, is the inspired of God. We take the
Bible as final authority in all matter concerning character, conduct and
work (2Timothy3vs16-17; Proverbs 30vs5-6; Revelation 22vs18-19)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's
Word Teaches: That the Godhead consists of three separated, distinct
and recognizable personalities and qualities perfectly united in one.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are different person in the
Godhead, not merely three names for one person. (Matthew 3vs16-17;
2Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28vs19-20)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's
Word Teaches: The Virgin Birth of Jesus, the only begotten Son of God;
the crucifixion, death, burial and boldly resurrection of Jesus Christ
(Isaiah7vs14; Mathew1:18-25; Romans1:4; 1Corinthians 15:3-4)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL DEPRAVITY, SINFULNESS AND GUILT OF ALL MEN
God's Word Teaches:
The total depravity and guilt of all men since the fall, rendering them
subject to God's wrath and condemnation. (Psalms 51:5; Job14:4;
Romans3:23; 5:12-17; Mark7:21-23; Ephesians2:1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REPENTANCE
God's
Word Teaches: That repentance is a complete turning away from all sins
and its deceitful pleasures and that it is required from every sinner
before he can effectively believe in Jesus with saving faith
(Proverbs28:13; Isaiah 55:7; Ezekiel 18:21-23; Luke24:46-47; Acts2:38;
3:19; 20:20-21; 2Corinthians7:10; Hebrew6:1-3)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESTITUTION
God's
word teaches: That restitution is making amends for wrongs done against
our fellowmen, restoring stolen things to their rightful owners, paying
back debts where one defrauded, making confession to the offended and
apologizing to the slandered so as to have a conscience void of offense
towards God and man (Genesis 20:1-8; 14-18; Exodus 22:1-7; Leviticus
6:1-7; Numbers 5:6-8; 2Samuel 12-1-6; Proverbs6:31; Ezekiel 33:14-16;
Matthew 5:23-24; Luke 19:8-9; Acts 23:1-5; 24:16; James4:17; 5:6).
JUSTIFICATION
God's Word Teaches:
That justification is God's grace through which one receives
forgiveness and remission of sins and is counted righteous before God,
through faith in the atoning blood of of Jesus. Having thus been cleared
of every guilt of sin, the regenerated stands before God as though he
had never sinned, not on the basis of any personal merit but in the
light of what
Christ had accomplished for mankind by His substitutionary death on the cross of Calvary (Psalm 32:1-2; Isaiah 1:8; Micah 7:19; Acts 13:38-39).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christ had accomplished for mankind by His substitutionary death on the cross of Calvary (Psalm 32:1-2; Isaiah 1:8; Micah 7:19; Acts 13:38-39).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's
Word Teaches: That water Baptism is essential to our obedience after
reconciliation with God. Water Baptism is on immersion (not three) "In
the name of the father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" as Jesus
commanded (Mathew28:19; 3:13-17; Mark 16:15-16; Act 2:38; 8:38-39;
19:1-5; Romans 6:4-5).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's Word Teaches: That the Lord's Supper was instituted by Jesus Christ so that all believers
(all members of the family of God) might partake thereof regularly, to
"shew the Lord's death till He comes". The emblems uses are "Unleavened
bread" and the juice of "fruit of the vine". Anyone who eats and drinks
unworthily brings "damnation", punishment and chastisement upon himself
(Matthew 26:29; Luke 22:17-20; I Corinthians 11:23-30).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION
God's
Word Teaches: That entire Sanctification is a definite act of God's
grace, subsequent to the New Birth, by which the believer's heart is
purged and made holy. It cannot be attained progressively by works,
struggle or suppression; but it is obtained by faith in the sanctifying
blood of Jesus Christ. Holiness of life and purity of heart are central
to Christian living (Luke 1:74-75; John 17:15-17; I Thessalonians
4:3, 7,8; 5:22-24; Ephesians 5:25-27; Hebrews 2:11; 10:10,14; 13:11-12;
Titus 2:11-14; I John1:7; Hebrews 12:14; I Peter1:14-16).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOLY GHOST BAPTISM
God's
Word Teaches: That the Baptism in the Holy Ghost is the endowment of
power from on high upon the sanctified believer. It is "the promise of the Father" and when one receives this "gift of the Holy Ghost",
it is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking a language
unlearned previously referred to as speaking as the Spirit gives
utterance (Joel 2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:8;Luke 3:16,24,49;
John1:30-33; 7:37-39; 14:16-17, 26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:5-8; Mark 16:17;
Acts 2:1-8; 10:44-46; 19:1-6). We do not teach or instruct people how to
speak in tongue: the Holy Spirit gives utterance. We also stress the
necessity of purity
before power. The gifts of the Spirit are for believers today (1Corinthians 12:1-31; 14:1-40)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's
Word Teaches: That Redemption from the curse of law, Healing of
sickness and disease as well as continued Health are provided for all
people through the sacrificial death of Jesus (Exodus 15:26; Deuteronomy
7:15; Psalm 105:1-5; Proverbs 4:20-22; Isaiah 53:4, 5; Matthew 8:16,
17; I Peter 2:24; Mark 16:15-18; Luke 13:16; John 14:12-14; 10:10; Acts
10:38; James 5:14-16; 3John2; Galatians 3:13-14).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's
Word Teaches: That Personal Evangelism is a God-given and God-ordained
ministry for every believer. Jesus commanded and God requires every
believer to be a compassionate and fruitful soul-winner, bringing others
to Christ (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-49; John 17:18;
Acts 1:8; 1-4; Psalms 126:5-6; Proverbs 11:30; Daniel 12:3; Ezekiel
13:17-21)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's
Word Teaches: That marriage is binding for life. Monogamy is the
uniform teaching of the Bible. Polygamy is contrary to God's perfect
will and institution. Also, under the New Testament dispensation, no one
has right to divorce and remarry while the first companion lives. When a person becomes converted, necessary restitution,
on this line, must be done without delay if he has married wrongly
(Genesis 2:24; Deuteronomy7:1-4; Job 23:11-13; 2Corinthians 6:14-18;
Proverbs 31:10-31; Malachi 2:14-15; Romans 7:2-3; Ephesians 5:31-33;
Matthew 5:31-32; 19:3-9; Mark 10:2-12; Luke16:18; John4:15-19; Genesis
20:3-7).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's Word Teaches: That the rapture, commonly referred to as the first phase or stage of the SECOND COMING OF CHRIST is the catching away from the earth of an living saints and all who died in the Lord. The Rapture will take place before the Great Tribulation
and can happen any time from now. "In a twinkling of an eye" without a
moment's warning. "the trumpets shall sound" "and the dead in Christ
shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so
shall we ever be with the Lord" (John 14:1-3; Luke 21:34-36; I
Corinthians 2:5-7; Philippians 3:11, 20-21; 1 John 3:1-3).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's
word Teaches: That the resurrection of the dead is taught in the Bible
as clearly as the immortality of the soul. Every individual who has ever
lived will be resurrected, some to honour and glory and others to
everlasting shame and contempt (Job 19:25-27; Psalms 71:29; Isaiah
26:29; Daniel 12:2; John 5:28-29: I Corinthians 15:11-57; I
Thessalonians 4:13-16; Hebrews 6:12; Philippians 3:8-11; Revelation
20:4, 6, 12-13).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE GREAT TRIBULATION
God's Word Teaches: That the Great Tribulation will occur after the Rapture
and will be a time of terrible suffering on earth. It is also referred
to as the time of "Jacob's trouble" Matthew 24:21,22,29; Revelation
9:16; Mark 13:19; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12; Revelation 13. During this
time, the Antichrist will take possession of this world for a reign of
terror. He will not be a system or organization but a person- a
supernatural, diabolical being -in the form of a man who will blaspheme
and proclaim himself to be God (Daniel 8:23-25; 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12;
Revelation 13:1-10). The marriage supper of the Lamb will take place
above while the Great Tribulation continues on earth (Revelation
19:1-10).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
CHRIST MILLENNIAL REIGN
God's
Word Teaches: That Christ Millennial Reign is the 1,000 years literal
reign of Jesus on earth- which will be ushered in by the coming of Jesus
back to earth with ten thousands of His saints. At this time He will
judge the nation that dwell upon the face of the earth (Jude 14, 15;
2Thessalonians 1:7-10). During this time, the devil will be bound
(Revelation 20:2-3). It will be reign of peace and blessing (Isaiah
11:6-9; 65:25; Hosea 2:18; Zachariah 14:9-20; Isaiah 2:2-4).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's
Word Teaches: That the Great White Throne judgment is when God finally
judges all (the living and dead, small and great) who have ever lived on
the face of the earth, according to their works. This is after the Millennium.
At this time, the final judgment known as the Great White Throne
Judgment will be held. All those, from all ages who have not yet been
judged will stand before God at this time. The devil and his angels are
judged at this time also and sent to the lake of fire forever (Daniel
12:2-5; Matthew 10:15; 11:21-24; 12:41-42; John 5:28-29; Romans 2:15-16;
14:12; 2Peter 2:9; Jude 6; 1Corinthians 6:14; Acts 10:42; Revelation
20:11-15).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE EARTH
God's
Word Teaches: That the New Heaven and the New Earth "wherein dwelleth
righteousness" will be made by God and the redeemed shall dwell therein
with God forever. This present earth which has been polluted by sin will
pass away after the Great White Throne judgement
(Psalm 102:25-26; Isaiah 51:6; 65:17; Matthew 5:18, 24,35; 2Peter
3:10-13; Revelation 21:1). No unclean thing will be there. There, we
shall know each other, our knowledge having been perfected. There will
be no more curse upon anything. There will no more night; the Glory of
God will be the light there of (Isaiah 66:22; 2Peter 3:13; I Corinthians
13:12; John3:2,3; Revelation 21:1-7; 22:1-5).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HELL
God's
Word Teaches: That Hell fire is a place of everlasting punishment where
sinners (all who do not have their names in the Book of Life) will
suffer torment for ever. It was prepared for the devil and his angels
(Matthew 25:41) but God has decreed that the wicked and those who forget
Him and reject Christ will also be cast there because of their sin and
neglect of His salvation (Psalms 9:17; Matthew 25:46; Luke 12:4; 55:16;
19-31; Matthew 9:43-47; Revelation 14:10-11; 20:12,15).
