Biblical principles or doctrines believed, defended,
taught and practiced by our Church.
We have added the corresponding Scriptures that support our Faith.
1. THE BIBLE . We believe that the Bible is the Word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit and therefore infallible, inerrant and immutable, from Genesis to Revelation, and is the sole and final authority for all rules of faith and conduct.

- (Luke 1: 30-35; Isaiah 7:14; 9: 6, 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4)
6- SALVATION . We believe that the salvation and redemption of man from his sin is only through the shed blood of our Lord Jesus: Man can only receive this salvation and surrender through repentance and confession of sins. It is given by divine grace and not by human works, and by faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, since only He died for our sins and is the only mediator between God and men.
- (Acts 4:12, Romans 4:25, John 3:16, Romans 10: 8-10, Ephesians 2: 8)
7- THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST . We believe in the second coming of Christ, literal, personal and bodily in two phases or stages: the Rapture, where Christ comes to the clouds to seek his Church, an event in which Christians who have died will rise again and receive a new glorified body. ; and the Christians who are alive will be raptured to the clouds receiving the same quality of body, and reunited one and the other we will go to heaven to know the promised heavenly mansions; and, the Second Coming of the reigning Christ to take control of this earth and end the war of Armageddon, where Christians will reign with Him on this earth.

We believe that all the dead will rise again, (those saved in the rapture or rapture to face the Judgment Seat of Christ or judgment as servants), and the unsaved to face God's judgment or Great White Throne Judgment. Believers will have eternal life with Jesus and unbelievers will be resurrected for eternal damnation.

We believe in our absolute dependence on Him in all His ordinances.
- (John 14: 15-16; 16: 13-15)

- (Hebrews 12:14, Romans 6: 19-22, 1 Peter 1: 2)

Baptism into the Body of Christ: by which the person who accepts Jesus and has a new birth, becomes part of the Body of Christ and his eternal life
Baptism in Water by Immersion: as a symbol of identification with death (to sin), burial and resurrection of Jesus for eternal life and as a public sign of faith. (Romans 6: 4)
Baptism of the Holy Spirit: with the scriptural evidence of speaking in other languages as the Holy Spirit imparts, and that through that baptism the power is received to be a witness of Jesus to the whole world.
- (Acts 1: 8; 2: 4; Mark 16:17)

- (Ephesians 5:18; 2 Corinthians 6:14; 7: 1)
13. THE KINGDOM OF GOD . We believe that what Adam and Eve lost in Paradise when they rebelled against God and brought sin into this world, was not heaven, but the kingdom on this earth. The purpose of God through Jesus is to restore the kingdom and make the believer participate and inherit it. It is the Kingdom of God as government and the Person of Jesus as King. They are two absolute truths.

- (Acts 15:22)

- (Hebrews 11: 6).
22- GOVERNMENT AND SECULAR AUTHORITY . We believe that rulers are ministers established by God for our benefit. To resist rulers and their ordinances is to resist God's ordinances.
