We believe that the Holy Bible is the complete divine revelation
verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit.
We believe that
God is the only one Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the
Spirit – co-existing equally from eternity to eternity.
We believe that
the Son of God, even God Himself, became incarnated to be a man
by the name of Jesus, born of the virgin Mary, that He might be our
Redeemer and Savior.
We believe that Jesus, a
genuine man, lived on this earth for thirty-three and a half
years to make God the Father known to men.
We believe that Jesus, the
Christ anointed by God with His Holy Spirit, died on the
cross for our sins and shed His blood for the accomplishment
of our redemption.
We believe that Jesus
Christ, after being buried for three days, resurrected from
the dead physically and spiritually and that, in
resurrection, He has become the life-giving spirit to impart
Himself into us as our life and our everything.
We believe that after His
resurrection Christ ascended to the heavens and that God has
made Him the Lord of all.
We believe that after His
ascension Christ poured down the Spirit of God to baptize
His chosen members into one Body and that the Sprit of God,
who is also the Spirit of Christ, is moving on this earth
today to convict sinners, to regenerate God's chosen people,
to dwell in the members of Christ for their growth in life,
and to build up the Body of Christ for His full expression.
We believe that at the end
of this age Christ will come back to take up His members, to
judge the world, to take possession of the earth, and to
establish His eternal kingdom.
We believe that the
overcoming saints will reign with Christ in the millennium
and that all the believers in Christ will participate in the
divine blessings in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and
new earth for eternity.
