1. WE BELIEVE...The Scriptures
are Inspired by God and declare His
design and plan for mankind.
2. WE BELIEVE...There is
only One True God–revealed in
three persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
(commonly known as the Trinity).
3. WE BELIEVE...In the
Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.
4. WE BELIEVE...though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both
physical and spiritual, into the world.
5. WE BELIEVE...Every
Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God
Through 'Salvation' (accepting
Christ's offer of forgiveness for sin). [1 of 4
cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
6. WE BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion
after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's
gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the
Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's
suffering and death for our salvation.
7. WE BELIEVE...the
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special
Experience Following Salvation
that empowers believers for witnessing and effective
service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1
of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
8. WE BELIEVE... The
Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the
Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of
Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the
Epistles.
9. WE BELIEVE...Sanctification
Initially Occurs at Salvation
and is not only a declaration that a believer is
holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of
separating from evil as believers continually draw
closer to God and become more Christlike.
10. WE BELIEVE...The
Church has a Mission to seek and
save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the
Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the
people who, throughout time, have accepted God's
offer of redemption (regardless of religious
denomination) through the sacrificial death of His
son Jesus Christ.
11. WE BELIEVE...A
Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained
Leadership Ministry Serves the Church.
The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership
must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to
worship Him with other believers, and to build up or
edify the body of believers–the Church.
12. WE BELIEVE...Divine
Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for
Christians Today and is provided
for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on
the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines
of the A/G]
13. WE BELIEVE...in The
Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church
Prior to His Return to Earth
(the second coming). At this future moment in time
all believers who have died will rise from their
graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and
Christians who are alive will be caught up with
them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal
doctrines of the A/G]
14. WE BELIEVE...in The
Millennial Reign of Christ when
Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming
and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000
years. This millennial reign will bring the
salvation of national Israel and the establishment
of universal peace.
15. WE BELIEVE...A Final
Judgment Will Take Place for
those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged
for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in
a punishing lake of fire.
16. WE BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth
that Christ is preparing for all people, of all
time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell
with Him there forever following His millennial
reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the
Lord!'
