Apologetics

Every recorded baptism in the Book of Acts was performed in the name of Jesus Christ. Water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus is essential for the remission of sins and is part of the New Testament plan of salvation.

Holiness is not optional for the believer. Scripture commands separation from the world in conduct, dress, entertainment, and speech. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.

Is water baptism essential to salvation, or is it merely an outward symbol of an inward reality? Examining the biblical relationship between baptism and the forgiveness of sins.

Has the gift of speaking in tongues ceased with the apostolic age, or is it a living experience available to every believer today?

Can we trust that the Bible we hold today is accurate, authoritative, and inspired by God? Examining the evidence for biblical reliability from manuscript evidence, archaeology, and internal consistency.

Examining the nature of God — is He one being who manifests in different ways, or three co-equal persons in a triune Godhead?

Repentance is the first step of the New Birth — a genuine turning from sin to God. It is not merely feeling sorry for sin but a complete change of mind and direction that produces fruit.

The Holy Ghost is God's Spirit dwelling in believers. Speaking in tongues is the initial physical evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost, as demonstrated in every detailed account in the Book of Acts.

Jesus told Nicodemus "Ye must be born again." The New Birth consists of repentance, water baptism in Jesus' name (born of water), and receiving the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues (born of the Spirit).

God is absolutely one. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not three separate persons but three manifestations of the one true God. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh.

The problem of evil and suffering is one of the oldest and most difficult challenges to faith. How do we reconcile a loving, all-powerful God with a world full of pain?
