Our Core Doctrines
Salvation
Salvation is deliverance from spiritual death and enslavement by sin. God provides salvation for all who believe and accept His free offer of forgiveness. Salvation is received as a person (1) repents before God for his sins and sinful nature or inclinations, and (2) believes or has faith in the fact that the death and resurrection (supernatural restoration to life) of Jesus Christ removes and brings forgiveness for his sin. In response to placing faith in God's love and freely given salvation, one experiences the washing of regeneration (or spiritual rebirth), The renewing work of the Holy Spirit, and is declared righteous (right with God). Regeneration, renewal, and justification (justified, or made right with God) are words describing what happens at salvation. At the moment of salvation, a person becomes heir to God's promised hope of eternal or everlasting life (Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romas 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11, 3:5-7).
Divine Healings
Wherever
Jesus went, He ministered with compassion and healed the sick. Christ's
example showed an interconnection with salvation as many believed
following their healing.
Our Lord continues to heal today and it
is vital that the church preach, teach and practice this bibical truth.
Scriptures command believers to pray in faith and trust God for the
outcome.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
The
doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is our distinctive. This
truth explains the passion and power of our witness. Jesus promised His
followers they would receive power from high so that they would be His
witnesses. We believe this truth is just as relevant today as our
Fellowship continues to take the gospel message around the globe.
Second Coming
With
the world experiencing natural disasters, economic downturns and
increasing uncertainties on many fronts, the doctrine of Christ's Second
Coming is more relevant than ever. Believers must rest in the certainty
of the imminent return of our Lord and share this hope with others.
