WHAT WE BELEIVE

Our Beliefs

We believe that Jesus is the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. (Mat. 28:19; John 5:43, 10:30, 12:45, 14:8–9; Phil. 2:9-11) All the fullness of the godhead rests bodily in Jesus Christ. (Col. 2:9) We believe salvation is a free gift to all who repent of their sins, are baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and are filled with the Holy Ghost by the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. (Acts 2:38, 4:12, 10:44–48; Eph. 2:8, 4:5) We believe that we are chosen people, separated from the world; and that we should live a holy life both inwardly and outwardly. (1 Pet. 2:9; 2 Cor. 6:17-18)

We strictly adhere to the Scriptural teaching of the Oneness of God found in Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” The New Testament agrees with the Old Testament. The Apostle Paul wrote: “One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (Isa. 44:6-8, 45:5; Col. 2:9; Eph. 4:5–6)

What does it mean to be Pentecostal?

We call ourselves Pentecostal because we have experienced the same miraculous conversion that the 120 followers—which included the mother of Jesus—experienced in the second chapter of Acts.

According to the Bible (The Acts of the Apostles), the New Testament Church began on the Day of Pentecost, which was fifty days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When the crowd heard the noise, saw the commotion, and listened to the message, they asked the Apostles how to be saved.

Peter, standing up with the other eleven apostles, preached this message:

We must repent (turn away from) of our sins. We do this by asking Jesus to forgive us.
Luke 24:47; II Peter 3:9; Acts 2:38

We must be water-baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins.
John 3:5; Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5

We are promised the gift of His Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.
John 7:37-39; Acts 2:4, 2:38, 8:17-18, 9:17, 10:44-47, 19:6
