Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Good news for sinners, and for all. (3x)
Praise ye the Lord.
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart. In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation. (3x)
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.
We believe in the Omniscient (all-knowing), Omnipresent (always present), Omnipotent (all-powerful) Eternal God, His Son, Jesus Christ, and His Comforter, the Holy Ghost.
We believe that the world was created by God, and that without God, nothing was made, nor will be maintained.
We believe in the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God without error.
We believe in the Prophecy, Birth, Life, Death, Burial, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus, the Son of God; await His second coming for His people.
We believe that hearing the Gospel leads to conviction, conviction leads to Godly sorrow, Godly sorrow worketh repentance, and repentance leads to salvation by grace, and those saved must be baptized outwardly by immersion in water, and inwardly by the Holy Ghost.
We believe that God requires Holiness in a lifestyle, separate from sin, and that God's promise of reward is eternal life.
We believe in world evangelism and nurturing of converts who respond to the Holy Call.
We believe in praying for our world and government, that those who are ascribed to be in authority will be God-fearing.
1. We most hold to Holiness (separation from sin) as God's requirement for all. (Hebrews 12:14)
2. We must hold to God's having ordained/created Male & Female and resist the spirit of cross-dressing and universal appearance of the sexes. At the same time, we must lovingly accept those who may not yet understand this tenet of sanctification and nurture them insight by both openly teaching and being an example. (Genesis 1:27)
3. We must hold to our status as a "New Creature in Christ" and resist the spirit of bringing in styles (whether of dressing, appearance, or habits) that resemble the "old man" or shameful, ungodly characteristics. At the same time, we must lovingly accept those who may not yet understand this tenet of sanctification and nurture them insight by both openly teaching and being an example. (2 Corinthians 5:17, Colossians 3:9)
4. We must support the local church and its ministries with Tithe (the tenth of the increases) and offerings as this is God's financial plan for his church. All are free to support the ministry elsewhere after "taking care of home." At the same time, we must denounce gimmicks and such like and those who seek to contaminate God's people with them. (Malachi 3:7-11)
5. We must respect and follow the hierarchy of leadership without revolting (both pulpit and pew). All saints and other church members must always be mindful that church uproar is damaging, unnecessary, unacceptable, and unholy. At the same time, all should avoid causing a Brother/Sister to stumble to standing in the way of sinners being saved. (Hebrews 13:17, Romans 14:13)
6. We must develop a greater love for the WORD and study more than ever. God's word is out weapon against Satan and his devices; therefore, we must know how to use it. At the same time, we must be consecrated and humble and avoid taking scriptures out of context and infiltrating the body of Christ with false teachings that lead to strong delusions. (2 Timothy 2:15)
7. We must remain open to "fresh moves of God" and earnestly seek to do HIS will. At the same time, all things must be done decently and in accord with Scripture. (1 Corinthians 14:40, Acts 2:17)
