The Bible is the inspired word of God, revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:15-17 ; 2 Peter 1:20-21 ; 3:2 ; Revelation 22:18 ; Matthew 24:35 ; Psalms 119:89, 139:16 ; 1 Peter 1:25 ; Isaiah 34:16 ; 51:16 ; Jeremiah 5:14)
One God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent. “I AM”(Exodus 3:14 ). In one God eternally existing in three persons: namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who are united to form one, triune God. (Genesis 1:26 ; 17:1 ; Deuteronomy 4:35 ; 6:4 ; 32:39 ; Mark 12:29 ,32 ; Isaiah 9:6 ; 41:4 ; 43:10-11 ; 44:6 ; 45:5 ,18 ,21 ,22 ; Matthew 28:19 ; Luke 3:22 ; Romans 3:30 ; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 ; 2 Corinthians 13:14 ; Ephesians 4:6 ; 1 John 5:7 ; 2 Samuel 7:22 ; Psalms 83:18 ; 86:10 ; John 14:26 ; 17:3 ,21-23 ; 1 Timothy 2:5 ; 1 Samuel 2:2 ; Exodus 3:14 ; 33:20 ; John 4:24).
Jesus Christ is the Saviour and Redeemer
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead; that He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor; Christ Jesus is the Almighty God. John 1:10-18 ; 3:16 ; Luke 1:30-35 ; 23:46 ,52-54 ; Mark 15:27 ,28 ; 16:19 ; Matthew 1:18-22 ; 28:5-7 ; Acts 4:10 ; 7:55 , 56 ; Hebrews 1:6 ,8 ; 4:14 ; 7:25-26 ; 8:1 ; 10:22 ; Revelation 1:18 ; 4:8 ; 1Timothy 2:5 ; 3:16 ; Isaiah 7:14 ; Romans 6:9 ; 8:34 ; Ephesians 1:20-23 ; Philippians 2:6-11 ; 1Peter 3:18 ; Colossians 1:15-20 .
Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” But man, by voluntary transgression, fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God. (Genesis 1:26-27 ; Psalms 8:4,5 ; Romans 3:23-24 ; 8 ; 23 ; Acts 2;38; 1 Corinthians 1:30 ; Galatians 3:13 ; Ephesians 1:7 ,14 ; Colossians 1:14 ; Hebrews 9:15 ; 1Peter 1:18 ; Titus 2:14).
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins. Repentance is a Godly sorrow for sin with a renunciation of sin. (Acts 2:38 ; 3:19 ; 8:22 ; 17:30 ; 20:21 ; 26:20 ; 2 Corinthians 7:10-11 ; Mark 1:15 ; Isaiah 55:7 ; 2 Chronicles 7:14 ; Luke 13:3 ; 24:47 ; Ezekiel 18:30-32 ; Matthew 3:2 ; Ezra 10:11 ; Psalms 32:5 ; Joel 2:12 ; 1 John 1:9 ; Proverbs 28:13).
The Bible teaches that the wrongs against our fellowman for which we can make must be righted. We must have a conscience void of offense toward God and man. Restitution includes restoring where you have defrauded, stolen, or slandered, paying back debts, and making confession. (Leviticus 6:4 ,5 ; Ezekiel 33:15 ; Luke 19:8 ,9 ; Revelation 2:5 ; 3:3 ,19 ; 1 John 1:9 ; Proverbs 28:13 ; Ezra 10:11).
That justification regeneration and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. Justification is the act of God’s grace whereby we receive remission of sins and stand before God as though we had never sinned. (Acts 13:39 ; Romans 3:24-28 ; 5:1 ; 1 Corinthians 6:11 ; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 ; Galatians 3:24 ; John 1:12-13 ; 3:3 ,14-16 ; Titus 3:5-7 ; James 1:18 ; 1 Peter 1:3-5 , 18-23 ; 1 John 2:29 ; 3:9 ; 4:7 ; 5:1 ; Philippians 3:9 ; Ezekiel 36:26).
Entire sanctification is the act of God’s grace by which we are made holy. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost. (John 17:15-19 ; 1 Thessalonians 4:3,7 ; 5:23 ; Hebrews 10:10,14 ; 12:14 ; 13:12 ; 1 John 1:7 ; Luke 1:74 ,75 ; 2 Corinthians 7:1 ; 6:11 ; 1 Peter 1:15 ,16 ; Ephesians 5:26 ,27 ; Mark 16:15 ,16 ; 2 Timothy 2:21 ; 2 Thessalonians 2:13 ; 1 Corinthians 6:11 ; 1 Timothy 4:5 ; Acts 15:8,9).
Those who are redeemed through the blood of Jesus Christ should obey the council of God in water baptism. It shall be administrated to all those who give clear evidence of their new birth. Baptism is immersion “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost,” as Jesus commanded. (Matthew 3:15,16 ; 28:19 ; Acts 2:38 ; 8:35-38 ; 22:16 ; Romans 6:3-5 ; Luke 7:30 ; Colossians 2:12 ; John 3:23 ; Galatians 3:27 ; Mark 16:15,16 ; 1 Peter 3:21; Ephesians 4:5).
The baptism of the Holy Ghost is the endearment of power from on high upon the clean, sanctified life. (Luke 24:49 ; 11:13 ; Matthew 3:11 ; John 1:33 ; 7:37-39 ; 14:16,17,26; 16:8,13-17 ; Acts 1:4-8 ; Joel 2:28-32 ; 1 Corinthians 6:19 ; 2 Corinthians 1:21 ,22 ; 1 John 2:20 ,27).
When we receive the gifts of Holy Ghost, it is accompanied by the same sight as the disciples had of the day of Pentecost, Speaking with tongues as the spirit gives utterance. (Mark 16:17 ; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 ,28 ; 14:2-5, 21, 22, 26, 27; Acts 2:4 ; 4:8 ,31 ; 10:45 ,46 ; 11:15 ,16 ; Ephesians 5;18,19; Colossians 3:16 ; Romans 5:5; 14:17 ; Hebrews 2:4).
Christians are urged, therefore, to “come out among them (unbelievers) and be ye separate saith the Lord.” (Leviticus 20:23-26 ; Genesis 12:1 ; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 ; Acts 2:40 ; Deuteronomy 6:14 ; 18:9-13 ; Psalms 1:1 ; 4:3 ; Isaiah 52:11 ; Revelation 18:4 ; John 15:19 ; Ephesians 5:3-11 ; 2 Thessalonians 3:6 ; 2 John 10 ; 1 Corinthians 5:7,11 ; 6:9,10,18 ; 10:14 ; Romans 12:2 ; 16:17; Ezra 10:11 ; Galatians 5:19-21 ; James 4:4 ; 1 Timothy 6:10 ; Colossians 3:5-10).
Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper that we might “show the Lord’s death till He come”. (1 Corinthians 10:16 ,17; 11:23-28; Luke 22:11-20; Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Acts 2:42; 20:7,11).
Jesus said, “If I then your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, Ye also ought to wash one another feet. For I have given you an example, that Ye should do as I have done to you.” (John 13:14 ,15 ; 1 Timothy 5:10).
Divine healing is provided for God’s people in the Atonement. (Isaiah 33:24 ; 53:4-5 ; 1 Peter 2:24 ; Matthew 8:17 ; Mark 16:18 ; James 5:14-16 ; Luke 13:16 ; Psalms 41:3 ,4 ; 147:3 ; Acts 10:38 ; Exodus 15:26 ; 23:5 ; Numbers 12:13 ; Deuteronomy 7:15 ; Psalms 103:3 ; Jeremiah 30:17 ; 33:6 ; Proverbs 4:22 ; 1 Peter 2:24).
The return of Jesus will be just as literal and visible as His going away (Acts 1:9-11 ; John 14:3 ) and first to catch away His awaiting Bride. (Hebrews 9:28; Revelation 3:10,11; 16:15; 19:7,8; 22:12; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 5:1-3; Isaiah 26:19; Matthew 26:64; Luke 21:27; 12:40; 2 Peter 3:10).
The Saints shall appear before the judgment seat of Christ that every one may receive the things done in his body according to that he had done. (Romans 14:10; 2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15; 4:4,5; Daniel 7:10; Luke 14:14; Ecclesiastes 12:14; Matthew 12:36; 16; 27; John 5:29; Galatians 6:8; Ephesians 6:8; Colossians 6:8; Hebrews 13:17; James 5:9; Revelation 2:23; 22:12).
During the interim between Christ’s coming for His Bride and His return in judgment, there is to be a great tribulation, or the time of Jacob’s trouble. (Matthew 24:21 ,29 ; Revelation 6-18 Chapters; Isaiah 13:6,9; 24:1-11; 26:20 ,21; 63:1-6; Mark 13:19; Jeremiah 30:7; 46:28; Daniel 12:1; Zephaniah 1:14; Joel 1:15; 2:1,2,11,31,32; 3:1-21; Luke 21:22-28; Ezekiel 20:34,35; 22:17-22; Zechariah 12-14 Chapters; Malachi 3:3,4; 4:1,5).
Christ’s Millennial Reign is the 1000 years literal reign of Jesus on earth, which will be ushered in by coming of Jesus back to earth with ten thousands of His saints. At this time, He will judge; the nations that dwell upon the face of the earth. (Jude 14,15 ; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 5:10; 11:15; 20:6; Zechariah 14:9; Daniel 2:44; 7:13,14,18,27; Luke 1:32,33; Isaiah 9:7; 11:1-10; 32:1; Micah 4:7).
During this time, the devil will be bound. (Revelation 20:2,3;)
It will be a reign of peace and blessing. (Isaiah 2:2-4; 11:6-9; 24:22; 65:25; Hosea 2:18; Zechariah 14:9-20; John 12:31; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6).
God will finally Judge the quick and the dead according to their works. (Revelation 20:11-15; Daniel 12:2; Romans 2:5,16; Acts 10:42; 17:31; John 3:18; 5:22,28,29; 12:48; Matthew 12:36; 13:30,39-50; 2Peter 3:7; Hebrews 9:27; 12:25-28.)
The Bible teaches that the hell is as eternal as heaven. (Matthew 25:41-46;)
The wicked shall be cast into a burning hell, a lake of fire burning with brimstone forever and ever. (Luke 16:24; Mark 9:43-49; Isaiah 5:14; 14:9-11; 66:24; Matthew 3:12; 13:41,42; 18:8,9; 25:41; Revelation 14:10-14; 19:20; 20:10,15; 21:8; Deuteronomy 32:22; Psalms 9:17; Proverbs 15:11; 27:20; James 3:6).
The word teaches that this earth, which has been polluted by sin, will pass away. God will create a new Heaven and a new Earth in which righteousness will dwell. (Matthew 24:35; 2Peter 3:5-7; 10-13; Isaiah 24:19,20; 65:17; 66:22; Revelation 21:1-3).
