“THE ONE TRUE GOD”

We believe in the One ever-living, eternal God; infinite in power,

holy in nature, attributes and purpose, and possessing absolute, indivisible Deity. This one true God has revealed Himself as Father in creation, through the Son in redemption, and as the Holy Ghost by emanation (I Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6; II Corinthians 5:19; Joel 2:28).

The Scripture does more than attempt to prove the existence of

God; it asserts, assumes and declares that the knowledge of God is

universal (Romans 1:19, 21, 28, 32; 2:15). God is invisible, incorporeal, without parts, without body and therefore free from all limitations.

He is Spirit (John 4:24), and “a spirit hath not flesh and bones…” (Luke

24:39).

The first of all commandments is, “Hear, O Israel: the LORD our

God is one LORD:” (Mark 12:29; Deuteronomy 6:4). “One God and

Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all:” (Ephesians 4:6).

This one true God manifested Himself in the Old Testament in divers ways, i.e., in the Son while He walked among men; as the Holy

Ghost after the ascension. 

Acts 2:38 Romans 6:4

REPENTANCE AND REMISSION OF SIN

The only grounds upon which God will accept a sinner is repentance from the heart for his sins that he has committed. A broken and

contrite heart He will not despise (Psalm 51:17). John preached repentance, Jesus proclaimed it, and before His ascension commanded

that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name,

beginning at Jerusalem (Luke 24:47). Peter fulfilled this command on

the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:38). 

 WATER BAPTISM

The scriptural mode 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 Jesus

Christ, according to the Acts of the Apostles; 2:38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5,

thus obeying and fulfilling Matthew 28:19. 

HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM

John the Baptist, in Matthew 3:11, said “… He shall baptize you with

the Holy Ghost.”

Jesus, in Acts 1:5, said, “… ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost

not many days hence.”

Luke tells us in Acts 2:4, “… and they were all filled with the Holy

Ghost and began to speak with other tongues, (languages) as the

Spirit gave them utterance.”

The terms “baptized with the Holy Ghost,” “filled with the Holy

Ghost,” and the “gift of the Holy Gh
