What we believe and practice
1. We believe
in God the Father, Infinite, Personal, Holy and Just
Labour not for
the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting
life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. John 6:27
Paul, an Apostle,
(not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.
Gal 1:1
2. We
believe in God as the Creator and the Sustainer of the Universe.
In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Jn1:1-3.
3.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the unique
God-Man; the mediator and only Savior of mankind.
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and
shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us. Mt 1:23
And every spirit
that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and
this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come;
and even now already is it in the world. I Jn 4:3
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,
and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Heb
12:24.
4.
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus
Christ, and in his incarnation.
Therefore the
Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a
son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isa 7:14
But while he
thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a
dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy
wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall
bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his
people from their sins. Mt 1:20-21
5. We
believe that Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross, we believe in his burial, in his bodily
resurrection
from the death and his bodily ascension to heaven.
And they
crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them,
and upon my vesture did they cast lots. Mat 27:35
For I delivered
unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our
sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose
again the third day according to the scriptures:1 Cor 15:3-4
And when he had spoken these things, while
they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And
while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood
by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into
heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come
in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:9-11.
6. We
believe in the Holy Spirit, by whose grace sinners are convicted and brought into the fellowship of
Jesus Christ through repentance and regeneration.
Nevertheless I
tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not
away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him
unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment. Jn 16:7-8
Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall
not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he
will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of
mine, and shall shew it unto you. Jn 16:13-14.
7. We
believe in the trinity, one God in three persons; Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Matt 28:19
For there are
three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one. 1Jn 5:7.
8. We
believe in water baptism by immersion for all who receive Jesus Christ as their personal
Lord and Savior
He that believeth
and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. MK
16:16
And he commanded
the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip
and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the
water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no
more: and he went on his way rejoicing. Acts 8:38-39
9. We
believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues
And they were all
filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:4
And they of the
circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter,
because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have
received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Acts 10:45-47
10. We
believe that all men are born in sin and are sinners and that salvation and eternal
life comes only through a personal faith in Jesus Christ the Only Son of God;
the only mediator between God and men.
For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Rom 3:23
For the wages of
sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Rom 6:23
11. We
believe in the bodily resurrection of all true believer.
Marvel not at
this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall
hear his voice. And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of
damnation. John 5:28-29
Behold my hands
and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not
flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them
his hands and his feet. Lk 24:39-40
12. We
believe in the rapture of the church
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: 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. 1Thes 4:16-17
Behold, I shew
you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For
this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality.1 Cor 15:51-53.
13. We
believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ, His personal return to Earth for the millennial
reign after the time of the great tribulation.
Which also said,
Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up
from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into
heaven. Acts 1:11
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him. That ye be
not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by
letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that
day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin
be revealed, the son of perdition. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all
that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is
God.2 Thes 2:1-4.
14. We
believe that all men will stand before God for judgment and we believe that all the
children of God will be rewarded for their works of faith.
For we must all
appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the
things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or
bad. 2 Cor 5:10.
And as it is
appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Heb 9:27.
15. We
believe in hell for the unsaved and heaven for the children of God.
And whosoever was
not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Rev
20:15.
But the fearful,
and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Rev 21:8.
Let not your
heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house
are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a
place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Jn 14:1-3
16. We
believe in the absolute authority of Scripture: The Old and The New
Testaments as the only written word of God.
All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be
perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Tim 3:16-17
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the
scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old
time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the
Holy Ghost. 2 Pet 1:20-21.
17. We
believe that the main task of the Church is to preach the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to all
creation for the salvation of those who believes.
Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world. Amen. Matt 28:19-20.
And he said unto
them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He
that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall
be damned. Mk 16:15-16.
18. We
believe that the Church should be concerned with the spiritual, physical and
social needs of the people to express the love and mercy of God to mankind.
Then shall the
King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an
hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye
visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or
thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or
naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto
thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have
done it unto me. Matt 25: 34-40
19. We
believe that all men and women are created in God’s image and likeness and that Adam and Eve through
disobedience brought mankind under the bondage of sin and death.
And God said, Let
us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them. Gen 1:26-27.
20. We
believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God, came as the second Adam, and through death on the cross,
He restored to all who would believe in Him all that the first Adam lost.
For as in Adam
all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.1 Cor 15:22
And so it is
written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a
quickening spirit. 1Cor 15:45.
Christ hath
redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is
written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of
Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive
the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal 3:13-14.
21. We
believe that through the precious and sinless blood of Jesus Christ, we are
redeemed from the power of sin and death and have abundant and eternal life in Christ Jesus.
Forasmuch as ye
know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from
your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the
precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:1 Pet
1:18-19
Neither by the
blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the
holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Heb 9:12
In whom we have
redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches
of his grace. Eph 1:7.
22. We
believe in spiritual authority, God’s leadership through his called, chosen and anointed servant
leaders.
Remember them which have the rule over you,
who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the
end of their conversation. Heb 13:7
Obey them that
have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls,
as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with
grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Heb 13:17.
23. We
believe that marriage should be honored, one man and one woman united in holy matrimony. We
don’t officiate marriages with same sex or transgender.
Marriage is
honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God
will judge. Heb 13:4.
Therefore shall a
man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they
shall be one flesh. Gen 2: 24.
Wherefore they
are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let
not man put asunder. Matt 19:6.
24. We
believe in the five fold ministries, {Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and
teachers} for the edification of the church, the body of Christ.
And he gave some,
apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and
teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of
the stature of the fulness of Christ. Eph 4:11-13.
And God hath set
some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers,
after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of
tongues.1 Cor 12:28
25. We
believe in the Holy Communion, {Breaking of break} as we do remember the Lord’s death and
resurrection.
And they continued
steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread,
and in prayers. Acts 2:42.
For I have
received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus
the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given
thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for
you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup,
when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye,
as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the
Lord’s death till he come.1 Cor 11:23-26
26. We
believe that if any man is in Christ, he or she is a new creation. The old way of sinful life
must be overcome through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Therefore if any
man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new. 2 Cor 5:17
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism
into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Rom 6:4.
27. We
believe that in Christ we are a holy family, united by the covenant of the
blood of Jesus Christ and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
For this cause I
bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family
in heaven and earth is named. That he would grant you, according to the riches
of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. Eph
3:14-16
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. 1
Pet 2:9.
28. We
believe in church discipline. Immoral and wicked conducts can not be accepted within the body of
Christ.
I wrote unto you
in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the
fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with
idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written
unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a
fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an
extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge
them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that
are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked
person.1 Cor 5:9-13.
29. We
believe that our elected Government officials are God ordained and we should be law abiding
as good citizens and God fearing.
Let every soul be
subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers
that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth
the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves
damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt
thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have
praise of the same. Rom 13:1-3
30. We
believe in excellence in conduct and business. We believe that we should set the standard
for the world around us to follow.
Ye are the salt
of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under
foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill
cannot be hid. Matt 5:13-14.
Let all things be
done decently and in order. 1 Cor 14:40.
31. We
believe that through our unity, oneness and faith, there is nothing too hard to
accomplish for
the kingdom of God.
Again I say unto
you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they
shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Matt 18:19.
32. We
believe that every believer should give tithes, {Tithe is 10% of our monthly
income} for our financial covenant with God.
Will a man rob
God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and
offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole
nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not
open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your
sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your
vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. And
all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith
the LORD of hosts. Mal 3:8-12
v And Melchizedek
king of Salem brought forth bread and wine:
and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said,
Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And
blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.
And he gave him tithes of all. Gen 14:18-21

Our covenant
scripture: “And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places
whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not
leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of”. Gen 28:15.
