• I believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, without error in the original writing, 2 Tim. 3:15-16.
   
• I believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three dimensions: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Matt. 28:19, Genesis 2:26, Isaiah 45:18, Isaiah 9:6, 1 John 5:20.
   
• I believe that Jesus Christ is God, 1 John 5:7. The Father is the invisible power source with a personality, and while He does not have a body, He does have a physical image, Colossians 1:15. Jesus Christ is the visible embodiment of the Father incarnated in the form of a man, Philippians 2:5-8. The Holy Spirit is the unlimited, everywhere presents of the Father. He is like the wind that’s always present moving as He wishes, John 3:8. In summary, the Father is the invisible Power of God. The Son is the visible Person of God. The Holy Spirit is the everywhere Presents of God. All three exist in the body of Jesus, making Him God, the Christ, the One and Only God Almighty! Jesus Christ is the compound of the Power, the Person and the Presents of God. Jesus is God, Romans 1:20. The Bible says in Colossians 2:9, "For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily".
   
• I believe in the virgin birth of Christ, His vicarious, atoning death, bodily resurrection and ascension, Rom. 8:34, Acts 1:10.
   
• I believe in salvation through faith in Christ based on the blood of Jesus Christ at the cross, Eph. 2:8-9, Rom. 10:13-15, 1 John 5:10.
   
• I believe a person who believes in and continues to accept by faith Jesus Christ, as his Lord and Savior will continue to be saved, John 3:16, John 10:28-29, Rom. 8:38-39, 1 John 5:13.
   
• I believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, for the purpose of putting us into the spiritual body of Christ as His children, 1 Cor. 12:13, Eph. 4:4-6.
   
• I believe in water baptism for believers as a symbol of their spirit baptism, depicting the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, and showing that the believer has been crucified with Christ and should now walk in newness of life, Rom. 6:3-7.
   
• I believe when a Christian daily crucifies self and continuously is filled with the Holy Spirit, he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but manifest the fruit of the Spirit. The most noticeable change in a person who is filled with the Holy Spirit is his language. The way he talks. Being filled with the Holy Spirit will empower us to be effective witnesses, speak with boldness the Word of God and know how to worship properly, Gal. 2:20, Luke 9:23, Eph. 5:18, Gal. 5:22-23, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4, Acts 4:31, Eph. 5:18-21.
   
• I believe in the local church composed of baptized believers, not simply as an organization, but as a living organism with Jesus Christ as the Head and the Holy Spirit as the Heart, Eph. 1:22-23, Rom. 5:5.
   
• I believe that real revival will come when we lament the darkness of our mind, the stiffness of our will, the dullness and inexorability of our affections, and importunately entreat the God of all mercy to renew a right spirit within us, Psalm 85:6, 2 Chr. 7:14-15, 1 John 1:9, Psalm 51:7-17.
   
• I believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ, and while no one knows the day or hour, I believe He may come any day, John 14:10, Acts 1:11, Rev. 1:7, Matt. 24:44, Rev. 22:20.
   
• I believe in life after death, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust, Acts 24:15.
