JESUS IS THE WAY Our beliefs and our teachings are strictly based upon the Holy Scriptures of the Bible. We believe that the Word of God is infallible and absolute Truth. We follow the Apostles teachings, thus we are Apostolic in doctrine as a NT Church. We are Pentecostal in experience, by receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues, just like the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2:4.
WHO IS GOD?
The Bible teaches pure Monotheism, one GOD. There is just One God and HE is Spirit. GOD is our Heavenly Father. Jesus is the one true GOD (Spirit) manifested or revealed to humanity in the flesh as the Messiah or Christ! The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of GOD that indwells and regenerates the believer today.
SALVATION
JESUS said in John 3:5 that to enter the Kingdom of GOD, one must be "Born Again" of the water and the Spirit. This means through Faith and obedience, we must personally experience "water" baptism and "Spirit" baptism. Peter preached the same in Acts 2:38 to repent, be baptized, and to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
WATER BAPTISM
IS BAPTISM NECESSARY?
Christian water baptism was instituted by Jesus Christ in Mark 16:16, connecting it to our salvation. The Apostle Peter also connected water baptism to salvation in 1 Peter 3:21. In obedience, water baptism was practiced by the early Church (Acts 2:38), where Peter preached "Be baptized every one of you," and commanded ALL to be baptized (Acts 10:48).
HOW TO BE BAPTIZED:
Baptize means to wholly cover, to make fully wet. According to the Scriptures, the proper mode of baptism is by complete immersion. Baptism is to be done in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ according to Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5.

INFILLING OF THE HOLY GHOST.
The gift of the Holy Spirit has become the topic of much discussion in our day. Men and women of all persuasions and from all walks of life have become interested enough to search for greater understanding of this GOD-ordained spiritual experience.
The Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) is simply the Spirit of God. Along with being "born of the water", Jesus said a person must be "born of the Spirit" (John 3:3-5). Being born of the Spirit, filled with the Spirit, or being baptized in the Spirit are synonymous terms. The initial evidence of being Spirit filled is speaking in a heavenly language the Bible calls tongues, as the Spirit of GOD gives the ability to speak. This experience happened to the Jews on Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4), the Samaritans (Acts 8:15-17), the Gentiles (Acts 10:44-48), and the disciples of John (Acts 19:6), plainly indicating that it was meant for all people, regardless of race, creed, color, or station in life.
