The Apostle's Doctrine
And they continued stedfastly in the Apostles' Doctrine...
We believe the Bible to be inspired of God: the infallible Word of God. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16) The Bible is the only God given authority which man possesses; therefore, all doctrine, faith, hope and all instruction for the church must be based upon, and harmonize with, the Bible. It is to be read and studied by all men everywhere, and can only be clearly understood by those who are anointed by the Holy Ghost. (I John 2:27)."...no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (2 Peter 1:20,21)
Our basic and fundamental doctrine shall be the Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. We shall endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit until we all come into the unity of the faith, at the same time admonishing all brethren that they shall not contend for their different views to the disunity of the body.

Water Baptism
The scriptural teaching of baptism is immersion, and is only for those who have fully repented, having turned from their sins and a love of the world.
It should be administered by a duly authorized minister of the Gospel, in obedience to the Word of God, and in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, according to the Acts of the Apostles 2:38; 8:16; 10:48: 19:5; thus obeying and fulfilling Matthew 28:19.
The One True God
The first and basic fundamental truth of all scripture is the identity of God.
We believe in One God
