The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God.
(2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12)
There is one true Godhead comprised of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
All are co-equal and co-eternal. (Matthew 28:19; 1 John 5:7) Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, the second member of the Godhead. (Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-4)
Man was created in God's image.
By voluntary transgression he fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Genesis 1:26-31; 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21)
Salvation of Man
Baptism through full immersion in water.
A declaration to the world that a believer has died with Christ, and that he or she has been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; 10:47-48; Romans 6:4)
The celebration of the Lord's supper.
The eating of the bread and the drinking of the cup is a remembrance of Jesus. (1 Corinthians 11:24-30)
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, according to the command of Jesus Christ. With this comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowing of gifts, and the experience of the new birth. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:38-39, 10:44-46, 11:14-16,15:7-9; and 1 Corinthians 12:1-31)
The evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
The full consummation of the Baptism of Believers in the Holy spirit is evidenced by the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service. (Acts 1:8-9, 2:4 and 6, 10:44-46)
The Church is the Body of Christ
Each believer is an integral part. (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23)

Eternal Separation
Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead. They will burn in the lake of fire. (Revelation 19:20, Revelation 20:10-15)
The Millennial Reign of Jesus
The Return of our Lord Jesus Christ with His saints from Heaven to rule and reign for one thousand years on earth as Scripture promised. (2 Thessalonians 1:7; Jude 14-15; Revelation 19:11-16, 20:1-7)
After this, there will be a new heaven and a new earth. (Revelation 21)
