About Salvation · We believe that to receive salvation, one must be born again according to John 3:3 and Romans 10:9-10. About the Holy Spirit · We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. · We believe that all believers are endowed with certain spiritual gifts. About Baptism · We believe that all believers should be water baptized as commanded in the Scriptures. About the Church · We believe a New Testament church is a local body of baptized believers who have agreed together to worship Jesus Christ, edify the believers, evangelize the lost, and minister to others. · The church has two ordinances: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the new life we have in Him. The Lord's Supper is a reminder of Christ's death and anticipates His Second Coming |
