Our Beliefs

As revealed unto us by the Bible, we believe that there is only one God, Who is the Creator of both visible and invisible creatures. Only God will be in existence forever. In God every creature receives life.

We believe that He is the Son of God; Who took away our sins, and the Savior of the world. We also believe that Jesus is God and was born by Mary the Virgin — He is God revealed in the flesh. Through Him all things were created.

We believe in His death on the Cross, and resurrection, by which He brought redemption.

The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the Trinity. He has the same power and the same glory with God the Father and God the Son. He is one with the Father and the Son, to be worshipped and served.

The Holy Spirit has a great work to perform. He teaches, He speaks to men, and bears witness in us. He performs the work of regeneration for man and also the work of Sanctification in the born-again souls until they are fully sanctified. This same Holy Spirit endows believers with gifts they can use; He empowers one in the Lord.

The egg is comprised of three parts: the yellow yolk, the whitish part, and the shell. Despite these three substances, the egg is not three but one. Likewise, we believe that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost are one God, but made of three persons — hence they are One in Trinity.

We believe that there is a devil, who seeks the downfall of every man. He brought sickness, sin and death into the world. He seeks the destruction of those who exercise their faith in the Lord Jesus. The devil has several unclean spirits over whom he governs.

A time would soon come when he shall be thrown into the pit and chained for one thousand years. After this, he will be put into the lake of fire where he will remain suffering together with his followers for ever and ever.

God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. Therefore man is of three parts: body, soul and spirit. Man is God's ambassador on earth to take control over all other creatures on His behalf.

God allows man to take part in His work and thereby reveals His love for mankind more than for any other creatures. This also shows how God elevates man above the other creatures upon the earth.

Repentance is the sorrow of a godly man for his sins with decision to abstain from them. True repentance leads to a turning away from sin and a turning toward God.

This is God's grace whereby we are cleansed from our sins by which we are able to stand before God as though we have never sinned.

Sanctification is another grace of God by which our souls are progressively and completely cleansed. This is the second accomplishment of the grace which, through our faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ, is wrought after we have been justified and freed from our sins.

We believe in baptism by the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The teaching is revealed in the New Testament and all Christians must obey this rule of the Lord. Every saved soul automatically qualifies for Water Baptism.

We believe that all members should receive immersion Water Baptism in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Water Baptism stands for a sign and example of two things:

1. It is an outward sign of a true repentance of a sinner from his or her sins.
2. Anybody who is baptized is joined with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection — therefore dead to the world and the evils thereof.

All born-again souls should ask for the Holy Spirit from above, as the Apostles were ordered to wait in Jerusalem until they were filled from above. It is the promise of the Father — God's gift which He gives to those who obey Him. It is God's promise unto those who are far and all whom the Lord shall call.

Any Christian who receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit must speak in tongues.

A Christian without condemnation of heart has a right to thank God and be in adoration and in prayer unto the Lord always. The Holy Spirit helps his infirmities in prayer. We must pray only by the Name of JESUS.

Without faith our prayer shall be powerless before God. Those who are unable to pray annoy God. Much trouble and danger are encountered in the absence of prayer. We are commanded to pray and not to faint and to pray without ceasing.

It is God's plan and order that we should pray to receive all the goods He has promised in His treasure for us.

Restitution is a sign of true repentance. This is payment for what is damaged. Whatever cannot give us a clear conscience before man and God should be restituted without delay.

Healing without medicine is Biblical. Sickness is caused because of the fall of man. The force behind this is Satan. But Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. Christ purchased our soul from the curse of sin. He bore our infirmities and carried our sorrow. By His stripes we are healed.

We could obtain our healing in these four ways:

1. By individual prayer — John 14:13–14
2. By two people (or a group) who have agreed to pray by faith — Matt. 18:19–20
3. By the laying of hands on the head — Mark 16:18
4. By the Ministry of the Elders, anointing the sick with prayer of faith — James 5:14–15

We believe in all the prophecies in the Bible; likewise we believe that we can be given the gift of prophecy by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Despise not prophesying. But any prophecy that is against the Bible is rejected.

The Bible teaches us to abstain from all appearance of evil. We must not see our Church members in dancing halls, cinema halls, or reveling, for such things are works of the flesh. All people doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Swearing and Cursing Forbidden: All Christians should not swear or curse or blaspheme. "Bless, and curse not." Let your yes be yes, and no be no.

We believe that any born-again soul is a child of God and is clothed with white garment which is the Righteousness of Christ, received freely as a gift unto them that lead a victorious life. Furthermore, we are advised to put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

It is not our policy to have special robes. We believe that all members must be moderate in adornment. "Not with braided hair, or gold or pearls, or costly array, but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."

We believe in the laying on of hands and anointing the sick on the head in the Name of the Lord, and that prayer of faith shall save the person. However, we do not use any other methods which are not according to Bible teaching such as sanctification of water, special washing in flowing rivers, the use of robes, candles, or similar things — they are not Biblical.

The order of our Lord is that we should heal the sick free of charge. We do not receive money before we offer prayer for anybody.

Marriage is honorable in all. All members who wish to marry could do so in the church. They are not to follow the worldly pattern with drumming and dancing, drunkenness, or immodest clothing.

Above all, whatever is not Bible teaching should be ignored entirely by all members. If there be found any member disobeying these teachings he may be disciplined privately; but if any backslider would not admit discipline and restitute his way, he may be disciplined openly as it is written, so that truth might be established by the witness of two or three according to the Word of God.

The Word of God teaches us that monogamy has been the order since the beginning of the Law of Christ. Divorce is permissible only when a life partner has committed adultery. Even then, neither of the two should be married to a new partner while both are yet alive.

It is instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ shortly before His death. He commanded all Christians to gather together regularly to share the bread and wine till He comes back again.

The born-again souls are called the Church of God. The assembly of believers — the sanctified souls in Christ Jesus, the holy people of God — gather to worship God in truth and spirit, to share the bread and eat. Their major assignment is to spread the Gospel of Christ to all Nations.

Dedication is very important for the children of God for the Lord is Holy. If we want God to be our Father, we must separate and dedicate ourselves unto God. God called us unto Holiness.

The dedicated Christian would avoid foolish talking or jesting. He or she would not wear clothing of the opposite sex. Marriage would be esteemed honorable in all respects, and he or she would be a hearer as well as a doer of the Word of God at all times.

We believe that a brother who sleeps in the Lord is with Christ already. Paul said that it is better to come out of this flesh and be with the Lord forever in our Heavenly home. Therefore all members should separate themselves from the things of this world in worshipping the dead, by which we become idolaters.

We experience daily the resurrection of the Spirit — all the born-again souls passed from death to life. There is also a resurrection of the Body: the buried body will be raised up from the tomb at the last day. Only Holy people will be at the resurrection of those who belong to Jesus when He appears; but the sinners shall resurrect in hell.

The Second coming of Jesus Christ will be in physical form and will be visible to all in like manner as He was seen ascending up to the heavens. His return will be in two stages:

1. Christ's return in the sky — The Saints or Bride of Christ will be raptured to meet Christ in the sky.
2. His return to the earth — He will return to the earth to judge the sinners and the ungodly.

The time between His coming to receive the saints into heaven and His coming to administer judgements will be the time of Tribulation.

After Christ appears upon earth, He would set up His Kingdom with the Holy people for one thousand years. This kingdom will be entirely different from any kingdom ever set on earth — a kingdom of peace, with no death, no poverty. Christ is the only King in the Kingdom. During this millennium, Satan will also be chained.

We believe that there will be three special judgements:

1. The Judgement of the Believers: This would start immediately believers are caught up in the sky, they shall stand before Christ. After this judgement they will descend with Christ upon the earth.
2. The Judgement of the Nations: This will be the time when Jesus appears upon earth between the millennial reign and final judgement.
3. The Judgement of the Unbelievers / White Throne Judgement: This will happen after Christ's one thousand years reign at the White Throne.

The Word of God teaches us that after judgement, this wicked world will be removed. God will create a new Heaven and a new earth in which Holiness will exist.

The Bible teaches us that there is eternal punishment as well as eternal life. The wicked people will be sent to a fiery hell made of sulphur, to be tormented both day and night. The punishment will continue forever and ever.

We believe that after a child is born, on the 8th day the parent should bring him/her unto the House of the Lord for dedication unto the Lord.

We believe that the first day of the week called Sunday is a special day which the believers should separate as the Lord's Day, during which time they are to gather to worship. The Lord resurrected on the first day of the week.
