Our 16 Doctrines:Statement of Fundamental Truths

• 1Pe 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”

3

• It is called Fundamental Truths because they are the BASIS of what we believe.

4

#1 THE BIBLE IS INSPIRED

• II Peter 1:21

• “For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

5

• The scriptures don’t come alive until you are a BORN AGAIN.

• II Cor. 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

• In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,…


6

10 Reasons we stand for the FULL inspiration of the Bible:

1- Jesus gave the Old Testament His full APPROVAL.


7

• 2- It is the product of one MASTER mind.



8

• 3- Because of all the TYPES, SYMBOLS, & CEREMONIES.



9

• 4- Because the PROPHESIES contained in it put their stamp on the book as being divine.



10

• 5- Because the MORAL standards of the Bible prove it to be divine.



11

• 6- Because God is the AUTHOR.

• II Peter 1:21 “For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”



12

• 7- Because it reveals the only way of SALVATION.

• John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.



13

8- Because even the WORLD recognizes the book as divine.



14

9- By its FRUITS. Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth

forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.



15

10- Because it will OUTLAST the universe.● Mt. 5:18 “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven

& earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed

parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall

hold me” Psalm 139:7-10

And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him”

#3 THE DEITY OF THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST

The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has always existed. He too is without BEGINNING or END.

29

1- Scriptures declare that He is GOD.

#3 THE DEITY OF THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST7 Reasons we believe in the Deity of Christ

30

2-His VIRGIN BIRTH declares His deity.


31

3- His SINLESS life. Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an

example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: I Pet. 2:21-23


32

4- His MIRACLES. And there are also many other things

which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Jn. 21:25


33

5- SUBSTITUTIONARY work on the Cross:

“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”

I Peter 2:24


34

6- Bodily RESURRECTION from the dead.

“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know thatye seek Jesus, which was crucified.He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.” Matt. 28:5-6


35

7- His deity is confirmed because of His EXALTATION to the right hand of God.

Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

Acts 2:33


36

I Tim. 3:16 “.. God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

#3 THE DEITY OF THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST

37

#4 THE FALL OF MAN

Man was created GOOD & UPRIGHT.

38

Despite their excuses, they were guilty of VOLUNTARY sin.

#4 THE FALL OF MAN

39

Romans 5:12 “Therefore just as through one man sin entered the world, & death through sin, & so death spread to all man, because all sinned.”

#4 THE FALL OF MAN

40

#5 THE SALVATION OF MAN

Jn. 3:3 “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

41

I Cor. 1:22-23 “For Jews request a sign & Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block & to the Greeks foolishness”

42

God’s Word declares that a blood sacrifice was necessary for RESTORATION to God.

“….it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.” Lev. 17:11

“Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”

Heb. 9:22

43

God sent Jesus, not as a second plan, but as the FULFILLMENT of His INITIAL plan.

“..ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot; …” I Pet. 1:19-20

“For this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matt. 26:28

44

The justified born again believer is declared RIGHTEOUS.

“I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.” Isa. 43:25

“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.” Ps. 103.12

45

I. Our justification has certain order in which it happens.:

a. First the Holy Spirit CONVICTED us of sin & made us AWARE of our sinfulness.

“And when they Holy Spirit has come he will convince the world of its sin, & of the availability of God’s goodness, & of deliverance from judgment.” Jn. 16:8

46

b. Next we had to ADMIT we were lost.

“As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one.” Rom 3:10

“..for all have sinned & fallen short of the glory of God.” Rom. 3:23

47

c. After admitting we were lost, we REPENTED to God.

I John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Rom. 10:10 “For it is with your heart that you believe & are justified, & it is with your mouth that you confess & are saved.”

48

For by grace are ye saved through

faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.”

Eph. 2:8

49

After you confess your sins & believed by faith, there is a direct WITNESS of the

Holy Spirit that lets us know we’re born again.

Rom. 8:16 “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.”

50

d. Finally, you need to TELL PEOPLE you are born again.

“For whosoever shall be ashamed of me & of my words, of hiim shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory….” Lk. 9:26

51

After you’re saved, you should have OUTWARD PROOF of salvation too.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” II Cor. 5:17

52

Salvation is experienced in 3 tenses:

PAST- from guilt & penalty of sin PRESENT- sanctification

process FUTURE- heaven

53

Rev. 3:5 “He that overcometh the same I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father…”

54

We are responsible to MAINTAIN our gift of salvation, & to ‘REGIFT’ that treasure of salvation every chance we get.

55

#6 ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH

Scripture shows us God established 2 ordinances for us:

They are to remind us of JESUS & His SACRIFICE, & as a TESTIMONY about things we believe.

56

The ordinances don’t SAVE your soul.

57

First ordinance we recognize is WATER BAPTISM by

immersion.

58

3 Things Required for Water Baptism

1- That you are BORN AGAIN.

Acts 2:38a “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one..”

59

2- That you are IMMERSED in water.

Rom. 6:4a “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death.”

60

3- That you are RAISED up

Rom. 6:4b “..that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”

61

2) The 2nd ordinance of the Church is HOLY COMMUNION or The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the bread & the fruit of the vine.

62

“While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks & broke it, & gave it to His disciples, saying, ‘Take & eat; this is my body,’ Then he took the cup gave thanks & offered it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”

Matt. 26:26-28

63

The bread represents the BODY of Jesus, He gave for us, the cup represents the BLOOD He shed for us.

Lk. 22:19 “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.”

I Cor. 11:29 “For he that eateth & drinketh unworthily, eateth & drinketh damnation to himself…”

64

#7 BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:1-4

65

“For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.”

I Cor. 14:2

66

“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.”

I Cor. 12:7-11

67

# 8 EVIDENCE OF THE INFILLING OF THE HOLY GHOST

The baptism of the Holy Ghost in believers is witnessed by the initial PHYSICAL sign of speaking with other tongues.

Acts 2:4 “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit & began to speak in other tongues.”

68

We believe that each believer should experience one Spirit baptism, but then REGULAR fillings.

Fruit is evident when we are full:

69

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self control”

Gal. 5:22-23

# 9 SANCTIFICATION

Whatever was sanctified, was set apart for God’s POSSESSION & USE.

Salvation is experienced in 3 tenses:

Past- from guilt & penalty of sin Present- sanctification process Future- heaven

73

I Cor. 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make a way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”

# 9 SANCTIFICATION

74

I Pet. 2:5 “…you as living stones are being built up as a spiritual house,…”

# 9 SANCTIFICATION

75

#10 The Mandate of the Church

The Church as described in the Bible consists of all people who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ as the only REMEDY for SINS.

76

1- The Church should GATHER together to Worship God.

Heb. 10:25 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as we see the day approaching.”


77

We need to worship the Lord because He deserves it.

I Ch. 16:29 “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come before Him; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.”


78

2- The Church should EVANGELIZE.

Acts 1:8 “And you shall receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, & in all Judea & Samaria, & to the end of the earth.”


79

3- The Church should DISCIPLE other believers.

Matt. 28:20 “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.”

II Thess. 3:9b “…but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.”


80

4- The Church should be a UNIFIED body.

Ps. 133:1 “Behold, how good & how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.”

I Pet. 2:9 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”


81

I Pet. 2:12 “Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: (unbelievers) that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God…..”


82

# 11 The MINISTRY

God has instructed that there be SPIRITUAL LEADERS who teach & lead the congregation

83

“For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us”

Romans 12:4-6a

# 11 The MINISTRY

84

“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.”

I Cor. 12:7-11

# 11 The MINISTRY

85

#12 DIVINE HEALING

I Cor. 15:21-22 “Death came through man…in Adam all die.”

Isa. 53:5 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

86

Sickness can be used to test our TRUST in God & to try our faith.

Sickness can be used as a tool for SPIRITUAL growth.

Sickness can be used as a PENALTY for unconfessed sin.

#12 DIVINE HEALING

87

Sickness can be because we trusted in MAN & not on GOD.

Sickness can be to keep us HUMBLE.

#12 DIVINE HEALING

88

Sickness can be used so God’s power can be SEEN.

Jn. 9:1-3 “And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”

#13 THE BLESSED HOPE

The Lord APPEAR in the clouds, the TRUMPET will sound, a SHOUT will go forth, & in the TWINKLING of an eye, the dead in Christ will RISE first then those Christians who are alive will be caught up.

91

I Cor. 15:42-44 “So also is the resurrection of the dead.

It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.”


92

“…… for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”

Rom. 14:10b-11


93

“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:”

Jn. 5:22


94

“Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.”

I Cor. 3:13-15

Rev. 1:14

“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.” Rev. 19:7-9


98

“And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.”

Rev. 9:6


99

#14 THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST

The word ‘millennial’ means 1,000

100

Rev. 20:3 “And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be filled; and after that he must be loosed a little season.”


101

Micah 4:3 “…nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”


102

Lk. 20:34-38 “But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.”


103

Rev. 20:7-8 “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, God & Magog, to gather them together to battle; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city; and fire came down from God out of heaven, & devoured them.”


104

Rev. 20:9 “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false profit are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.”


105

After the RAPTURE, The BEMA judgment the MARRIAGE supper TRIBULATION, Battle of ARMEGEDDON the SECOND coming, the MILLENNIAL REIGN the FINAL rebellion

Then comes the Final Judgment

#15 THE FINAL JUDGEMENT

106

The Book of Life contains only the names of those who have ETERNAL life because they have been FORGIVEN the of their sin.


107

No amount of GOOD WORKS will ever erase the sinful rebellion which exists in the heart of every unrepentant person.


108

The Bible says that every knee will bow & every tongue will CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord.


109

Whoever is NOT found in the Book of Life will be consigned to everlasting PUNISHMENT in the Lake which burneth with fire & brimstone, along with the devil & angels, beast & false prophet.


110

The spiritual death is called the SECOND DEATH.


111

The Final Judgment is for unbelievers, those people who have rejected Christ.


112

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Rev. 20:10-15


113

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

I Cor. 6:9-10


114

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book”

Ex. 32:33


115

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:21-23


116

#16 THE NEW HEAVENS & NEW EARTH

After the Millennium, the existing Earth & Heavens will be BURNED up.

117

“But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

II Peter 3:7, 10


118

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.” Rev. 21:1-3


119

Rev. 21:16 “And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth; and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs; the length and breadth and the height thereof are equal.”


120

I Cor. 2:9 “No eye has seen, no ear has

heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him:”


121

“And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.”

Rev. 21:6
