“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” II Timothy 2:15

We believe that all Scripture contains something valuable for our spiritual growth. We cannot understand the Bible as a whole, until we have a workable knowledge of Paul’s epistles to the Church.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." II Timothy 3: 16-17  

We believe in the Trinity of the Godhead; that is, there are three distinct divine personalities, each with His own particular office and ministry, yet one in nature and purpose. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and is the eternal Word made flesh. He has the threefold office of Prophet, Priest, and King.

We believe that salvation is by grace, through faith, absolutely apart from works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

We believe that salvation is for everyone who believes and not for a chosen number only (John 3:16). Man has a will of his own, to either accept or reject the Gift of God.

We believe that when an individual accepts Christ as their personal Savior, he is born again. This new birth is irrevocable, and cannot be changed.

We believe that, once a person becomes a Christian, he or she cannot be lost. We believe that, after salvation, a believer should receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Agent of the new birth, and enters a believer’s spirit when they are born again. The Spirit desires to inhabit and control the whole of a man; and, therefore, every believer should be filled with the Spirit. This is an experience absolutely separate from salvation; and, is evidenced by the believer speaking in a language they do not know, as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:4).

We believe that Paul’s epistles were written especially for the Church today. He was given the revelation necessary for the perfecting of Christ’s Body. The Gospels contain Jesus’ ministry on earth; but, do not contain Church truth, except as to principles. This Dispensation of Grace belongs particularly to the Apostle Paul, and he is the apostle to the Church.

We believe that each believer has two natures. He retains the old nature inherited from Adam, but he also has the new nature of Christ. There is a struggle between the two natures (Romans 7), until victory is achieved by the new nature over the old (Romans 6,7, & 8).

We believe that there is a spiritual perfection for the believer. He has the power within to overcome the world, the flesh, and Satan.

We believe that the Lord desires that we all grow up into Christ in all things, and reach a state of perfection pleasing to Him.

We believe that Jesus will return for the overcoming saints before the seven-year period of Tribulation. He will come with His saints to be revealed to the world and to Israel after the Tribulation.

We believe that there will be ranks in the resurrection (I Corinthians 15:23). We believe that the different ranks or orders can be clearly seen in Revelation. We believe there is an “out-resurrection” for overcomers in the Church (Philippians 3:11). We believe that the Bride of Christ is a special group out of the Church who are full overcomers. The Lord God took a rib from man, made a woman and brought her unto the man (Genesis 2:22).
