of life, and the sanctification are also ascribed to the

given to believers who ask for it and we accept the
speaking in tongues as one of the exterior evidences and
the fruit of the Spirit as the true evidence of being
Spirit filled(Joel 2:28; Acts 2:4; Galatians 5:22-23)
I) We believe that all mankind is subject to the death of
the body as a result of original sin.The soul and spirit
do not die, But immediately after death enter into a
conscious state of happiness or misery according to the
character here possessed by rejection or acceptance of
the Savior (Ecclesiastes 12;7Romans 5;12 Phillipians 1;23)

church government which is a voluntary and cooperative
fellowship among equals, the local church being sovereign
under Christ.

Spirit of Christ, supreme in all matters.

peace....till we all come in the unity of the faith and
of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto the measure of

and "that man looks on the outward appearance but God
looks upon the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7)
V) We believe God did not send His Son into the
world to condemn the world, but that the world
might be saved through Him. (John 3:17)
W) We hold to apostolic authority in the church
(1 Corinthians 12;28) apostolic authority is vested in
mature spiritual leaders who operate in the office of
the apostle. This is a person who has received the call
of God for this office, and has the required ability and
discernment to do this work. Apostolic work the
initiation, adoption and setting in order of Gospel works
;the sending out, supporting and monitoring of the Gospel
works; the sending out, supporting and monitoring of the
Gospel workers; and the continuing encouragement,
oversight and strengthening of the churches and workers.
The apostle Paul is our primery Biblical example.
He demonstrated apostolic authority over churches
he had birthed and others he had come into divine
relationship with. Additionally, he continued giving
oversight to churches and leaders through divine maturity
and humility.
X)We believe that marriage constitutes a bond of a life time
commitment between one man and one woman and that is the
only legitimate, honorable, and Holy Estate instituted by God. It
was ordained of God as the foundation and bond of family life
for the mutual help and comfort of husband and wife, and for the
welfare of the state. (Genesis 2:24(b) - 25; Proverbs 18:22;
Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 6:9,10; Romans 1: 24 - 32)
