THE BIBLE TEACHING
We believe that the entire Scripture, both Old and New  Testament are written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit - II Tim. 3:16-17.  All the Christian teachings and the Christian attitude of the Children of God  are such as are established in the Holy Bible - II Tim. 3:10-15; II Peter 1:21;  John 17:17; Ps. 119:105.

We believe that the Bible is the written and revealed Will  of God. Man's position to God, the way to obtain salvation, woe and destruction  awaiting sinners that refuse to repent and everlasting joy that is kept for the  born again souls. All the Bible teachings are holy, what the Bible reveals as  the will of God are such that we should accept, and whatever God writes in the  Bible and His Law are to remain unchangeable; for the Heavens and Earth may  pass away but the Word of God stands forever. Deut. 4:22; Rev. 22:18, 19; Matt.  24:34-38.

 

ABOUT GOD: Ps. 33:6-9
 As revealed unto us by the Bible, we believe that there is  only one God, Who is the Creator of both visible and invisible creatures -Gen.  1:1; Ps. 86:9-10; Is. 43:10-11; John 1:1-3. Only God will be in existence  forever. Ez. 3:14; in God every creature receives life -John 5:26.


 ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
 We believe that He is the Son of God; who took away our  sins, and the Savior of the world. We also believe that Jesus is God and He was  born by Mary the Virgin. He is God revealed in the flesh. Through Him all  things were created. John 1:1-14; John 14:9; Matt. 1:18-25, Is 9:6; Is 53:5-6.  We believe in His death on the Cross, and resurrection, by which He brought  redemption - Is. 53:4-10; I Pet. 2:24; John 10:11; Gal. 3:13, Matt. 20:28; I  Cor. 15:3; Rom. 4:25; II Cor. 5:14; Heb 2:9; Heb 9:26.

 

ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
 The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the TRINITY. He has  the same power, the same glory with God the Father and God the Son - John  14:16-17; John 15:26; Matt. 3:16; Acts 13:24. He is one with Father and the Son  who is to be worshiped and served. Three Persons that become one are the source  of blessings to all the living creatures in Heaven and on earth - Matt. 28:19;  II Cor. 13:14; I John 1:5-7. The Holy Spirit has a great work to perform. He  Teaches, He Speaks to men, and bears witness in us - Acts 16:6-7; He performs  the work of regeneration for man- John 3:5-6; He also performs the work of  Sanctification in the born again souls until they are fully sanctified - John  16:8; Eph 1:17-19; II Thess. 2:13; I Cor. 6:11. This same Holy Spirit endows  believers with gifts they can use - I Cor 12:7; He empowers one in the Lord.  Acts 1:8.

 

ABOUT TRINITY
 The egg is comprised of three parts: The yellow yolk, the  whitish part, and the shell. Despite these three (3) substances, the egg is not  three but one. Likewise, we believe that God the Father, God the Son, and God  the Holy Ghost are one God, but made of three persons - hence they are ONE IN  TRINITY - Gen. 1:16-29; Matt. 3:16-17; Matt. 18:19.

 

ABOUT THE DEVIL
 We believe that there is a devil, who seeks the down fall of  every man. He brought sickness, sin and death into the world. Gen. 3:1-16. He  seeks the destruction of those who exercise their faith in the Lord Jesus.  Matt. 4:1-11; James 4:7; I Peter 5:8. The devil has several unclean spirits  over whom he governs - Matt. 12:24. A time would soon come when he shall be  thrown into the pit and chained for one thousand years- Rev. 20:7-9. After  this, he will be put into the lake of fire where he will remain suffering  together with his followers forever and ever. Rev. 20:10

 

ABOUT MAN
 Things He created. Gen. 1:26. God formed man of the dust of  the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a  living soul - Gen 2:7. Therefore man is of three parts, namely body, soul and  spirit. Man is God's ambassador on earth to take control over all other  creatures on His behalf on earth. Gen. 1:26-28. God allows man to take part in  His work and thereby reveal His love for mankind more than any other creatures  - Gen. 2:15. This also shows how God elevates man more than the other creatures  upon the earth.

 

REPENTANCE UNTO GOD
 Repentance is the sorrow of a godly man for his sins with  decision to abstain from them - Acts 3:19; 20:21; II Cor. 7:10; Mark 1:15; Is.  55:7; II Chron. 7:14; Ezek. 18:21.

 

JUSTIFICATION OR NEW BIRTH
 This is God's grace whereby we are cleansed from our sins by  which we are able to stand before God as though we have never sinned. Acts  13:39; Rom. 3:25-26; Rom 5:1; I Cor. 6:11; Gal. 3:24; John 1:12-13; 3:3; II  Cor. 5:9; Titus 3:5; I Peter 1:23; Acts 10:43; John 3:3,5.

 

SANTIFICATION(HOLINESS)
 Sanctification is another grace of God by which our souls  are progressively and completely cleansed. This is the second accomplishment of  the grace which through our faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ is wrought after  we have been justified and free from our sins or regenerated - John 17:15-17; I  Thess. 4:3; Heb. 2:11; 12:14; 13:12; I John 1:7; Luke 1:74, 75; II Cor. 7:1; I  Peter 1:16; Eph. 5:25-27; I Thess. 5:23-24; II Thess. 2:13.

 

WATER BAPTISM
 A. The Kinds of Baptism
 We believe in baptism by the Name of the Father, Son and  Holy Ghost - Matt. 28:19. The teaching is revealed in the New Testament and all  Christians must obey this rule of the Lord - Acts 2:24; Acts 16:15; Acts 18:8;  Acts 19:4-5. Every saved soul automatically qualifies for Water Baptism - Acts  8:29-39; 16:18-23.

B. Baptism by Trinity
 We believe that all members of this Church should receive  immersion Water Baptism, in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, as  believers who would not add to, or take out of the Word of God. Matt. 28:19. C.  The Reason for Water Baptism Water Baptism stands for a sign and an example of  two things.
 1. It is an outward sign, an example of a true repentance of  a sinner from his or her sins. Acts 2:38; Acts 22:6
 2. Anybody who is baptized is joined with Christ in His death,  burial and resurrection - Rom. 6:1 - 23; Col. 2:113. Therefore anybody baptized  is dead to the world and the evils thereof - Gal. 6:14.

 

BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
 All born-again souls should ask for the Holy Spirit from  above, as the Apostles were ordered to wait in Jerusalem until they were filled  from above. It is the promise of the Father. It is God's gift which He gives to  those who obey Him - Luke 24:49; John 4:14-26; Acts 1:4-5; Acts 5:32; Acts  8:14-17. It is God's promise unto those who are far and all whom the Lord shall  call - Acts 2:38-39. Any Christian who receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit  must speak in tongues - Acts 2:4; Acts 10:34-36; Acts 19:2-6.

 

ABOUT PRAYER
 A Christian without condemnation of heart has a right to  thank God and be in adoration and in prayer unto the Lord always - Zek. 12:10.  His soul thirsts for God - Ps. 42:2. The Holy Spirit helps his infirmities in  prayer - Rom. 8:26. We must pray only by the Name of JESUS - John 16:23; ; I  Tim. 2:25. Without faith our prayer shall be powerless before God - James  1:6-8; Heb. 11:6. Those who are unable to pray annoy God - Is. 42:22; Is.  64:6-7. Much trouble and danger are encountered in the absence of prayer - Zeph  1:4; Dan 9:13-14; Hosea 8:13-14. We are commanded to pray and not to faint and  to pray without ceasing - Col. 4:2; I Thess. 5:17; I Cor. 7:5; Luke 18:1. The  Apostles put prayer first in their life and they spent much time in prayer -  Acts 6:4; Rom. 6:4; Rom 1:9; Col. 1:9. It is God's plan and order that we  should pray to receive all the goods He has promised in His treasure for us -  James 4:2; Dan. 9:3; Matt. 7:7-11; Matt. 9:24-29; Luke 11:13.

 

ABOUT RESTITUTION
 Restitution is a sign of true repentance. This is payment  for what is damaged - Ez.. 22:3. Whatever cannot give us a clear conscience  before man and God should be restituted without delay - Lev. 6:1-7; Luke 19:8;  Prov. 28:13; Acts 24:16.

 

DIVINE HEALING(WITHOUT MEDICINE)
 Healing without medicine is Biblical - Matt. 4:23; Ps.  103:3; Sickness is caused because of the fall of man. The force behind this is  Satan - Job 2:1-9; Luke 13:15; Acts 10:38. But JESUS came to destroy the works  of the devil - I John 3:8. Christ purchased our soul from the curse of sin. He  bore our infirmities and carried our sorrow - Matt. 8:15-17. By His stripes we  are healed. Is 53:4-5; Gal. 3:13; I Peter 2:24. Healing without medicine is of  the Gospel - Matt. 9:35; Mark 6:10-18. We read that the twelve Apostles and the  seventy disciples combined healing with their Ministry of the Gospel - Luke  9:1-2; Luke 10:1-9. The Lord commanded us to go into the world, just to teach  the nations alone, but that we should also heal the sick - Matt. 28:19-20; Mark  10:1, Mark 16:15-18.

We could obtain our healing in these four ways: 1. By  individual prayer - John 14:13-14 2. By two people (or a group of people) who  have agreed to pray by faith - Matt. 18:19-20. 3. By the laying of hands on the  head - Mark 16:18; Acts 9:18; Acts 28:8. 4. By the Ministry of the Elders,  anointing the sick with prayer of faith - James 5:14-15 Special Notice - Before  we can work by healing without medicine, we would have sanctified our life to  the doing of the Law - Rom. 6:13, 19; Rom. 12:1; Matt. 16:24; II Cor. 8:5, 15.  Many miracles were performed by the Apostles - Acts 9:33-42; Acts 19:11-12;  Acts 28:8-9.

 

WORLDLINESS FORBIDDEN
 The Bible teaches us to abstain from all appearance of evil  - I Thess. 5:22. "But follow after righteousness, faith, love, purging  ourselves from unclean things so that we may be vessels unto honor, sanctified,  and prepared unto every good work" - II Tim. 2:21-22. Therefore we must  not see our Church members in dancing halls, or cinema halls, reveling, for  such things are works of the flesh. All people doing such things shall not  inherit the kingdom of God - Gal 5:19-21; I Peter 4:3-4; Prov 31:4-5; Rev.  1:5-6; Gen 19:30-38.

Swearing and Cursing Forbidden

All Christians should not swear or curse or blaspheme for we  were not taught of Jesus in such a way. "Bless, and curse not" Rom.  12:14. Swear not at all, neither by Heaven, nor bye the earth or any other  swearing. But let your yes by yes, and No be No so that you do not run into  condemnation - Matt. 5:34; James 5:12.

 

DUE REVERENCE TO PARENTS AND AUTHORITIES
 All Christians are to obey the law of the country, obey the  government and authority. They should honor their parents and elders. I Peter  2:13-14; Rom 13:1-5; Eph. 6:1-3.

 

REBELLION AGAINST CHURCH AUTHORITY FORBIDDEN
 Rebellion against Church Ministers is against the Will of  God. Those who rebelled against Moses did not escape unpunished - Num 12:1-10;  Num. 16:1-4,32. The Bible teaches that we should obey our Spiritual leaders and  submit to them - Heb 13:17; Joshua 1:16-18.

 

DEBTS FORBIDDEN
 Any member of this Church must not willfully enter into any  debt which he finds difficult to repay for the Bible teaches us "owe no  man anything, but to love one another" - Rom. 13:7-8. About Debt: 1.  Monetary Debt 2. Debt of promise or Vow - Ps. 105:8 3. Debt of time - Eccl.  3:1-8 4. Debt of not preaching the Gospel - I Cor. 16-17

 

OUR GARMENT
 We believe that any born again soul is a child of God and is  clothed with white garment which is the Righteousness of Christ. It is received  freely, a gift unto them that lead a victorious life - Rev. 19:7-8.  Furthermore, we are advised to put on charity, which is the bond perfectness -  Col. 3:13-14. It is not our policy to have special robes. We believe that all  members must be moderate in adornment. "Not with braided hair, or gold or  pears, or costly array, but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that  which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which  is in the sight of God of great price" I Tim. 2:8-9; I Peter 3:1-6; Gen.  35:1-4; Ex. 32:1-8.

 

LAYING OF HANDS AND ANOINTING THE SICK
 We believe in the laying on of hands and anointing the sick  on the head in the Name of the Lord and that prayer of faith shall save the  person - James 5:14-16; Mark 16:17-18. But we do not use any other methods  which are not according to Bible teaching such as sanctification of water for  the sick to drink, or to perform special washing for the sick in the flowing  river, the use of robe or garment, or to carry a small stick in the form of a  cross ones person or the use of candles and such things. They are not Biblical.  The order of our Lord is that we should heal the sick free of charge - Matt  10:8. We do not receive money or charge money before we offer prayer for  anybody. All those using the above materials for healing shall perish with them  - Mark 16:18; James 5:14; Matt 10:7-8; Mark 6:13.

 

HOLY MATRIMONY
 Marriage is honorable in all - Heb. 13:4. Therefore all  members who wish to marry could do so in the church. They are not to follow the  worldly patter with drumming and dancing, drunkenness or wear clothes  that:30-31; I John 2:15-17; Rom. 12:2.

 

PROPHECY IN THE CHURCH
 We believe in all the prophecies in the Bible; likewise we  believe that we can be given the gift of prophecy by the inspiration of the Holy  Spirit - I Cor. 14:29. Despise not prophesying - I Thess. 5:20. But any  prophecy that is against the Bible is rejected.

 

CHURCH DISCIPLINE
 Above all, whatever is not Bible teaching should be ignored  entirely by all members. If there be found any member disobeying these  teachings he may be disciplined privately, but if any backslider would not  admit discipline and restitute his way, he may be disciplined openly as it is  written in Matt. 18:15-18, So that truth might be established by the witness of  two or three according to the Word of God. Rebuke them that sinned before all  that others also may fear - I Tim. 5:20; I Cor. 5:1-13; II Cor. 2:6-11; Heb.  12:5-12.

 

ONE HUSBAND, ONE WIFE, CORRECT DIVORCE AND RE-MARRIAGE
 The Word of God teaches us that monogamy has been the order  since the beginning of the Law of Christ. Divorce is permissible only when a  life partner has committed adultery. Even then, neither of the two should be  married to a new partner while both are yet alive - Matt. 5:31-32, 19:9; Mark 10:11-12;  Luke 16:18; Rom. 7:2-3; Mal. 2:13-16; Gen. 2:18: Matt. 19:4-6.

 

HOLY COMMUNION OR THE LORD'S SUPPER
 It is instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ shortly before His  death. He commanded all Christians to gather together regularly to share the  bread and wine till He comes back again - Luke 22:17-20; Matt. 26:26-29; Mark  14:22-25; I Cor. 10:18, 21; Acts 2:42; 20:7; I Cor. 11:23-30.

 

THE CHURCH OF GOD
 The born-again souls are called the Church of God - Eph.  1:22; Col. 1:1-18; Eph 3:10; 5:24-29. The assembly of the believers, the  sanctified souls in Christ Jesus, Those who we call the Holy people of God - I  Cor. 1:2; Acts 14:23; Phil. 4:15; Acts 13:28. Therefore all that God has called  to gather together in a place and fed with the Word of God - Acts 2:41-47; They  accept Christ as the head of the Church. They gather from time to time to  worship God in truth and Spirit to share the bread and eat. Their major  assignment is to spread the Gospel of Christ to all Nations - Matt. 28:19.

 

THE DEDICATION OR SEPARATION
 Dedication is very important for the children of God for the  Lord is Holy - John 17:19; I Peter 1:15-16. If we want god to be our Father, we  must separate and dedicate ourselves unto God - II Cor. 6:17-18. God called us  unto Holiness - I Thess. 4:7; Rom. 12:1-2.

 

THE DEDICATED CHRISTIAN
 The dedicated Christian would avoid foolish talking or  jesting, Eph. 5:4. He or she would not wear clothing of the opposite sex, Deut.  22:5. Marriage would be esteemed honorable in all respects in the life of the  dedicated Christian, and he or she would be a hearer as well as a doer of the  Word of God at all times.


 THE DEAD IN CHRIST
 We believe that a brother who sleeps in the Lord is with  Christ already - Phil. 1:21-23; I Cor. 5:1-9. Paul said that it is better to  come out of this flesh and be with the Lord forever in our Heavenly home.  Further still he emphasizes that " But I would not have you to be ignorant  brethren concerning them which are asleep that ye sorrow not even as there  which have no hope" I Thess. 4:13-18. Therefore all members should  separate themselves form the things of this world in worshiping the dead by  which we become idolaters - Deut 14:1.

 

RESURRECTION
 We experience daily the resurrection of the Spirit, all the  born-again souls who are passed from death to life - Eph. 6:14; Rom 6:11; John  5:20. As this body is dissolved, immediately we are entering into our Heavenly  Home or house not made with hands eternal in the Heavens - I Cor. 5:1-8 There  is resurrection of the Body. Jesus taught us plainly that the buried body will  be raised up from the tomb at the last day Job 5:28-29. Paul also explained this  to us - Acts 24:15; I Cor. 15:22, 42-44; Phil. 3:21; Dan. 12:2. Only Holy  people will be at the resurrection those who belong to Jesus when He appears;  but the sinners shall resurrect in hell, a place where people whose names are  not found in the Lamb's Book - Rev. 20:4-5; John 5:28-29; Rev. 20:12-15.

 

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
 The Second coming of Jesus Christ will be in physical form  and will be visible to all in like manner as He was seen ascending up to  heavens - Acts 1:9-11; John 14:3. His return will be in two stages: A. Christ's  return in the sky - The Saints or Bride of Christ will be raptured to meet  Christ in the sky - I Thess. 4:15-17; I Cor. 15:51-52; Matt. 24:40-44; Matt  25:10 B. His return to the earth - He will return to the earth to judge the  sinners and the ungodly - Rev. 19:19-21; II Thess. 1:7-10; Jude 1:14-15; Zech.  14:3-4.

 

THE TRIBULATION PERIOD
 The time between His coming to receive the brides or saints  into heaven and His coming to administer judgments will be the time of Tribulation  - Matt 24:21; 22:29; Rev. 9; Rev. 16; Is. 26:20-21; Mark 13:19; Jer. 30:7;  Daniel 12:1; Malachi 4:1.

 

THE MILLENNIAL REIGN (CHRIST 1,000 YEARS' REIGN)
 After Christ appears upon earth, He would set up His Kingdom  with the Holy people for one thousand years - Rev. 20:1-6; Rev. 2:26-27. This  one thousand years will be entirely different from any kingdom ever set on  earth. The Kingdom is peace all over - Is 65:18-20. There will be no death -  Is. 65:18-20. There will be no poverty - Mich. 4:4; Is. 65:21-23; Christ is the  ONLY KING in the Kingdom - Dan. 2:44-45; Dan. 7:13,14,22,27.

 

SATAN IN PRISON
 At this time - millennium, Satan will be chained - Rev.  20:2-3, and it will be the time of peace and blessing to mankind also - Is.  11:6-9; 65:25; Hosea 2:18; Zech 14:9-20; Is 2:2-4.

 

THE COMING JUDGEMENTS
 We believe that there will be three special judgements.
 i) The Judgement of the Believers: This would start immediately  believers are caught up in the sky, they shall stand before Christ. After this  judgment they will descend down with Christ upon the earth - II Cor. 5:10; I  Cor. 3:3; 11-15; James 1:12; Rom 2:16.
 ii) The Judgment of the Nation: This will be the time when  Jesus appears upon earth between the millennial reign and final judgment. Acts  17:31; Joel 3:2; Ez. 14:15; Jud. 1:14-15; II Thess 1:7-10; Rom 2:16; Rev. 1:7;  Mal. 16:21.
 iii) The Judgment of the Unbelievers: or the White Throne Judgment  : This will happen after Christ's one thousand years reign at the White Throne.  - Rev. 20:11-15; II Peter 3:7; Dan. 12:2.

 

NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH
 The Word of God teaches us that after judgment, this wicked  world will be removed. God will create a new Heaven and a new earth in which  HOLINESS will exist - Matt. 24:35; II Peter 3:12-13; Rev. 21:1-3; Is. 65:17:  66:22

 

ETERNAL LIFE AND ETERNAL PUNISHMENT
 The Bible teaches us that there is eternal punishment as  well as eternal life - Matt. 25:46. The wicked people will be sent to a fiery  hell made of sulphur, to be tormented both day and night. The punishment will  continue forever and ever - Rev. 14:10-11; Luke. 16:24; Mark 9:43-44.

 

DEDICATION OF CHILDREN
 We believe that after a child is born on the 8th day, the  parent should bring himher unto the House of the Lord for dedication unto the  Lord - 1 Sam. 1:22; Luke. 22:22-24; Matt. 19:13-15.

 

THE LORD'S DAY

We believe that the first day of the week called  Sunday is a special day which the believers should separate as the Lord's day  during which time are to gather to worship - Acts 20:7; 1Cor. 16:2; Rev. 1:10.  The Lord resurrected on the first day of the week - Mark 16:9; Ezek. 31:12-14
