Fundamental Doctrine
The basic and fundamental doctrine of this organization
shall be the Bible
standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism
in water by immersion
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism
of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign
of speaking with other tongues as the
Spirit gives the
utterance.
We shall endeavor to keep the
unity of the Spirit until we all come into the
unity of the faith, at the
same time admonishing all brethren that they shall
not contend for their
different views to the disunity of the body.
About the Bible
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and
Christian living. (See II Timothy 3:15-17.)
About God
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus
Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is
both God and man. (See Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I
Timothy 3:16.)
About Sin and Salvation
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through
faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (See Romans 3:23-25; 6:23;
Ephesians 2:8-9.)
About the Gospel
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried,
and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by
repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial),
and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). (See I Corinthians
15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.)
About Christian Living
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life
inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the
Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (See Mark 12:28-31; II
Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10.)
About the Future
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the
final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal
life, and the unrighteous eternal death. (See I Thessalonians 4:16-17;
Revelation 20:11-15.)
