•
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and as so it is the
only authoritative word of God to man, it is infallible.
•
The Bible is without error and is the ultimate authority
in determining truth and the will of God.
•
The Bible is complete and contains all the principles of
truth needed in matters of faith and conduct to attain the
completion of divine purpose.
•
There is one God, eternally existent as three persons, Father,
Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit.
•
God is the creator of all things, visible and invisible,
and has total sovereignty over all He has made.
•
The human race is fallen from the original standard of the
image of God and is irretrievably lost in a sinful condition.
•
Every human being is required by God to have personal faith
in Christ, who is the only source of eternal life. His death
on the Cross is the only transaction through which man can
be redeemed.
•
The Baptism of the Holy Ghost is an experience at, or subsequent
to, being born again of the Spirit. It is accompanied with
the sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance
and prophecy, as the initial and physical evidence of receiving
the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.
•
The Holy Ghost resident within every believer enables the
producing of the fruit of the character of Christ.
•
The Holy Ghost provides guidance, teaching and leading into
all truth in accordance with the principles of the Word
of God.
•
The Holy Ghost provides gifts and graces to enable every
believer, and the Church as a whole, to fulfill the purpose
of God.
•
The Church is made up of all persons believing in Christ,
who are joined together into one spiritual body making up
a spiritual nation for God.
•
The eternal God-ordained purpose of the Church is to reign
with Christ forever.
•
From soon after the time of the book of the Acts of the
Apostles, the Church began to enter into religious tradition,
mental idolatry and apostasy. Eventually, despite much advance,
the Church lost much Biblical truth, or else understood
and implemented truth in a corrupt way.
•
The Church is on a journey to restoration and discovery
of all truth, and it is being built up in understanding
and ability as well as in numbers.
•
God has ordained apostles and prophets whose principal task
is to receive divine wisdom and revelation of Biblical truth,
proclaim it to the whole Church, and build the Church in
accordance with what has been revealed.
•
The end of the journey is the Church achieving perfection,
being conformed to the character of Christ, the personal
return of Christ and the attaining of immortality.
•
To this end, God is building a new human race in Christ,
with renewed understanding and motivation, free from the
corruptions of the present age.
•
The recovery of truth and the building of the character
and power of the Church are opposed by invisible principalities
and powers working from both outside and inside the Church.
•
These principalities and powers have to be resisted and
overcome.
•
A major part of the strategy of the enemy is to work within
the Church through establishment of dead religious tradition,
invasion of corrupt values, and the counterfeiting of true
ministry.
•
Christ will not return until the journey is completed, the
Church made ready, and all His enemies defeated.
•
The Church is prophetically mandated in the Word of God
to impact the nations of the earth with the rule and principles
of the Kingdom of God .
•
The Church is required to cooperate with God in the management
and accomplishment of His purpose. This cooperation is not
passive, but involves taking initiatives as God allows and
directs in the progress of the Kingdom.
•
The Kingdom of God advances through a more and more complete
proclamation of the revealed Word of God; the receiving
of that Word in the hearts of men, and the activation of
that Word into more effective accurate lifestyle and precise
strategic purpose.
•
Believers in Christ are required to absolutely separate
themselves from wrong worldly values and principles; they
are required to penetrate and prevail in the systems of
the world in order to fulfill their God-given purpose and
influence the world to submit to the Kingdom of God .
•
The Church has God appointed leadership, both the five headship
positions (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and
teachers) and elders, who are given the ability to lead
and be exemplary in lifestyle, through which he directs
and leads the Church in accordance with Biblical principles.
•
The Church is responsible for policing itself independent
of the political State.
•
Local Kingdom communities are to be autonomous and self-governing,
yet, connected by the fourfold purpose of man assigned by
God; fellowship, character, dominion and fruitfulness, and
the primary source of life for God's people.
