Articles of Faith

The Apostolic Faith is that set of doctrines believed in and practiced by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ as found in the Holy Scriptures, especially in the New Testament.

Examine these Scriptures:

Eph 2:20, And are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.

2 Tim 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

Lu 24:46‑49, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47, And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48, And ye are witnesses of these things. 49, And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

The Apostolic Faith includes such beliefs and doctrines as the infallibility of the Bible, the Oneness of God or that Jehovah God of the Old Testament is Jesus Christ of the New Testament, water baptism by immersion into the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the reception of the Holy Ghost by every believer with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, (Acts 2:4, And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance), a holy life, the rapture of the church and the second coming of Jesus Christ.el

Eph 1:4, According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.

Jn 5:28‑29, Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

1 Thes. 4:16, For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
