Top Highlights

“The ordinance of baptism by immersion in water (not sprinkling) is commanded in the Scriptures (Mark 16:16). All who repent and believe on Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord are to be so baptized. This act of baptism symbolically declares to everyone that the old sinful nature and lifestyle of the baptized believer died with Christ at salvation and a new spiritual being has been raised with Christ through His resurrection to live a new life (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47–48; Romans 6:4).” (Page 8)

“The baptism of Christians in the Holy Spirit is accompanied by the initial physical sign of speaking in other tongues (unlearned languages) as the Spirit of God gives them audible expression (Acts 2:4).” (Page 9)

“our church is designed to be an agency of God for evangelizing the world” (Page 11)

“humankind by willful choice, ignored God’s instructions … choosing to engage in what they knew was wrong and evil” (Page 6)

“Salvation is deliverance from spiritual death and enslavement by sin.” (Page 6)
