Doctrine

We believe that there is one God. We believe God manifested himself as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

• Deuteronomy 6:4 - Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.
  
  
• Isaiah 43:10-11 – Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

Father
We believe that Jesus is the Father.

• John 14:8-9 - Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
  
  
• John 14:10 - Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Son
We believe that Jesus is the Son: God manifested in the flesh.

• Isaiah 9:6 – For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
  
  
• John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
  
  
• John 1:14 – And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
  
  
• Colossians 2:9 – For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

Holy Ghost
We believe that Jesus is the Holy Ghost.

• John 7:38-39 – He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
  
  
• John 14:16-18 – And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him, for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Baptism
We believe what Jesus taught and the disciples obeyed: Baptism in Jesus’ name.

• Matthew 28:19 – Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
  
  
• Acts 2:38 – 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.
  
  
• Acts 4:12 – Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
  
  
• Acts 8:16 – (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
  
  
• Acts 19:5 – When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Being Filled with the Holy Ghost
We believe to be born again one must be born of water (baptized) and of the Spirit (Holy Ghost filled).

• John 3:3 – Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
  
  
• John 3:5 – Jesus answered, 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.
  
  
• John 7:38-39 – He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
  
  
• Matthew 3:11 – I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier that I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.
  
  
• Acts 1:5 – For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

• Acts 19:6 – And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
  
  
• Joel 2:28-29 – And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
