The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Holy Bible is God-inspired. We believe that the Holy Bible and the Holy Bible is 100% the word of God. This alone, is the final authority in determining doctrinal truths. (2 Timothy 3:16,17)
Water Baptism
Following and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the word of God to be baptized in water in the name of the Lord. (Matthew 28:19)
The Eternal Godhead

Baptism of The Holy Spirit
…with the evidence of speaking in tongues
