Doctrinal Statement
We are a oneness Apostolic independent church not affiliated with any organization. We continue steadfast in the Apostle Doctrine teaching the oneness of God. God is both Creator and Savior. We believe in repentance, baptism by immersion (Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12). In the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and the fulfilling of the Holy Ghost as a seal of our inheritance (Acts 2:38, John 3:5,7 Acts 4:12).
​
Once we are washed and cleansed in the blood of Jesus, we are saved from sin and we are commanded to live solely, righteously, and godly in this present world (Titus 2:12).
​
Being warned that without holiness no one shall see the Lord (Hebrew 12:14).
​
The Bible
​
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, infallible and without error in the original
manuscripts, and is the full and final rule of authority for faith and practice giving a true history
of the creation of heaven, earth and of all humanity containing a correct prophecy of the ages to
come regarding the heavens and the earth and the destiny of man. There is no salvation outside
of what is taught in its pages. We prefer using the King James Version because it is the closest to the original manuscript.
Baptism
Born-Again Experience
​
"Jesus answered and said unto him (Nicodemus). Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.' The redemptive work (born-again experience) is performed in the name of Jesus. In Acts 4:12, the scripture says, "Neither is their salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." In Matthew 28:19, Jesus said, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Jesus said in St. John 5:43 "I am come in my Father's name." That name is Jesus. In Matthew 1:21, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus." In St. John 14:26, "But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my Name."
Jesus commissioned the Apostles in Luke 24:45-48; "Then he opened their understanding that they might understand the scriptures and said unto them; 'Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things.'
The scripture says in Matthew 28:20, "Teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Jesus commissioned the apostles to baptize in his name. On the day of Pentecost Peter and the rest of the disciples presented the plan of salvation. Everything hinged on knowing who Jesus was. He was both Lord and Christ. Once the Israelites realized this truth, being baptized in the name of Jesus made sense. "Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.….Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. ... Then they that gladly received his word were baptized and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls" (Acts 2:36, 38, 41). In John 3:5, Jesus had told Nicodemus; "Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
