WHAT WE BELIEVE
As Oneness Pentecostals, we believe in these apostolic doctrines:
1) We believe that there is only one God, named Jesus, who created the universe in seven literal days and has revealed Himself to humanity in three manifestations: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2) We believe that the first humans, Adam and Eve, were created perfect, but chose to rebel against God, bringing sin into the world and passing down their sinful nature to their descendants.
3) We believe that all humans are sinners and disobey God's law and are therefore under God's wrath, sentenced to a literal hell.
4) We believe that God, the Father, came down to earth and manifested Himself in the flesh as the Son, was born from the virgin Mary by the power of God, lived a sinless life, died by crucifixion to save us from our sins, was buried, was resurrected, ascended to heaven, and lives in believers through the Holy Spirit, and will bodily return to judge all the living and the dead as the Son.
5) We believe that God's plan of salvation for humanity is for all to live in right relationship with Him, which can be done by trusting in Jesus Christ, repenting of sins, getting baptized through immersion into water in Jesus's name, receiving the Holy Spirit as evidenced by speaking in tongues, and loving others and living righteously through His power. Those who reject Him and His ways and continue life in sin will be judged to eternally suffer Hell, which was originally intended as punishment for the devil and his angels who have been rebelling against Him.
6) We believe that the regular gathering of Christians is essential for them to continue growing in the faith through the encouragement by God's words and by fellowship with each other.
7) We believe that God created all humans, male and female, in His image, and that life and its sanctity begin at conception.
8) We believe that marriage is a God-given gift defined as a lifelong union between one man and one woman.
