1. We believe the Bible is the irrefutable,
inspired, printed Words of God.
2. We believe there is only one God and his
name is Jesus.
3. We believe the plan of Salvation is found
in it's entirety in the book of Acts.
The church was established
in the book of Acts of the Apostles. No other place in the Bible will you find the complete plan of salvation. Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John, (also called the gospel, meaning good news), were written about the life and miracles of Jesus. They tell of
the deity of Jesus.
The basic and fundamental
doctrine of the Apostolic Church is the Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the initial sign of
speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
The Bible is the inspired Word Of God. It gives a true history of
the creation of the heavens, the earth, and of mankind. It contains the correct prophecy of the ages to come regarding the
heavens and the earth, and the destiny of man. Furthermore, there is no salvation outside of that which is contained within
its pages.
There is only One God: the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and of all mankind. This One God, the I AM,
is manifested (revealed) to mankind as the Father (in creation), Son (as Savior or in redemption)(1 Jn.5:20), and Holy Ghost,
(indwelling Spirit) (Rom. 8:11). God is a Spirit (John 4:24), the Eternal One, the Creator of all things, and of all men.
Thus making Him their Father (through creation) (Malachi 2:10). The LORD is the FIRST and the LAST, and beside Him there is
no God (Isa. 44:6).
There was no God formed before him, neither
shall there be after Him (Isa. 43:10). Jesus is the Son of God according to the flesh (Rom. l:3). Jesus is the very God Himself
according to the Spirit (Matt. 1:18-23). Jesus is the Christ (Matt. 16:16). Jesus is the Creator of all things (Col. 1:16,
17; Jn.1:10; Isa.40:28). Jesus is God with us (Matt. 1:23). Jesus is God made flesh (John 1:1-14). Jesus is God manifested
in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). Jesus is He which was, which is, and which is to come, The Almighty. (Rev. 1:8; Isa. 9:6). To
this, Jesus Himself testified when He said: "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:7-11).
Since it took shedding of blood for the
remission (forgiveness) of the sins of the world (Heb. 9:22), God as the Father, being a Spirit, had no blood to shed; so
He prepared a body of flesh and blood (Heb. 10:5), that He might fulfill the prophecy of Isa.43:11, "Beside Me there is no
Savior". Thus, when Jesus was born into the world, he was Jehovah our Savior (that is the meaning of the name Jesus), the
one God of the universe, the Lord God Almighty, born as a man. This caused the angels to sing, "For there is born this day
in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ The Lord" (Luke 2:11).
The Holy Ghost is not the third person
in the Godhead! The Holy Ghost is the Spirit, Jesus Christ coming to dwell in the hearts and lives of those who receive him.
That is why, when speaking of the Spirit, Jesus
said "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you" (John 14:16-26; Rom 8:9; 2 Cor.13:5). So there are not three persons
in the God-head, but three manifestations of the One God. God is the Savior, and his saving name is now revealed to men as
Jesus. Therefore Jesus is the name of God. Salvation consists of deliverance from sin through the blood of Christ. This is
accomplished by repentance from sin, (making an about face and turning from sin), water baptism in the Name of Jesus, for
the remission (forgiveness and washing away) of sins, and receiving the Baptism of the Spirit, (Holy Ghost), with the initial
evidence of speaking in other tongues, and the continuance of a righteous life. (Acts 2:26-41)
