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.
Healing is provided in the atonement of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that God heals every sickness and disease, and that the church should practice prayer, anointing with oil, and the laying on of hands for the sick.
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 church is the body of Christ — not a building but the people of God. God adds to the church those who are being saved. Faithful attendance, pastoral submission, and the exercise of spiritual gifts are essential.
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.
Jesus Christ is coming again — literally, bodily, and visibly. The rapture of the church, the tribulation, and the final judgment are all prophesied in Scripture. Believers must live in constant readiness.
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?
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?
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.
Every believer is called to be a witness for Jesus Christ. The Great Commission is not optional — it is a command. The early church turned the world upside down through bold, Spirit-filled evangelism.
