The Word of God-
All scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness...
II Timothy 3:16
[Jesus
Christ] Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who
by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
I
Peter 1:20, 21
We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible, authoritative
Word of God.
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
We believe in the deity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We
believe in the Virgin Birth.
We believe Jesus is the Word of God: come in the flesh, born without sin.
We believe He came to save man from sin.
We believe in His
vicarious and atoning death.
We believe in His bodily resurrection.
We believe that He ascended back to Heaven
and is sitting on the right hand of the Father.
We believe the only way to be cleansed from sin is through the blood
of Jesus after one has repented of his sins, and faith in the shed blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We believe
that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation. We believe in the Baptism of the Holy
Ghost.
(Acts 2:4)
We believe that the redemptive work of the cross also provides healing for our human bodies by
faith and in answer to prayer.
Mark 11:24; Mark 16:17,18
John 14:13,14; James 5:14,15
1 Peter 1:24
We believe
in Water Baptism, according to The Great Commission.
Matthew (28:19)

God Kept His Promise
Acts 2:1-17
Pentecost is one of the Jewish feasts instituted by God in Levitious
23:15-22. It is fifty days after the Feast of the Passover, thus the word Pentecost
means 'fifty'.
Jesus Christ was crucified as the passover lamb for the entire world.
On the day of Pentecost, following Christ's crucifixion, the Holy Spirit was poured upon men, marking the beginning of a new
relationship between God and mankind. (Acts 2)
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit was promised by God, the Father. On the day of Pentecost,
when this promise was fulfilled, the Apostle Peter reminded the people who witnessed this event of the prophecy of Joel, "And
it shall come to pass afterwards, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids
in those days will I pour out my spirit. (Joel 2:28, 29)
The Holy Spirit dwells within us. What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify
God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's". (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20)
It was the Lord Jesus Christ who shed His blood as price for
our salvation. We are cleansed with that blood from all sin. He sanctifies us and makes us Holy. God dwells in us through
the Holy Spirit. "No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected
in us. Hereby know we that dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit". 1 John 4:12, 13
God dwelling in us is not the only ministry of the Holy Spirit. As
the scripture says, the Spirit shall teach us all things, and of righteousness, and of judgment. The Holy Spirit also
gives us the power to witness unto all men. John 14:26, 16:8 and Acts 1:8
The cost of Pentecost has already been paid by God through the atoning
death of Jesus Christ at Calvary. All we as individuals have to do is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and be saved
so that Pentecost will be fulfilled in our lives by God, "For the promise is unto you and your children and to all who are
afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call". Acts 2:39
