Christianity
•
We
believe in
true,
apostolic-prophetic,
scriptural
teaching of
the Kingdom
Message
in support of
the Full
Gospel of
Jesus Christ
both in Word
and in Deed.

•
We
believe the
Scriptures,
both Old and
New
Testaments,
are the
inspired
living Word of
God,
giving
revelation of
His will for
the salvation
of man and
the divine and
final
authority for
all
Christian
faith, life,
and conduct.
•
We
believe in one
Living God,
Creator of all
things,
infinitely
perfect and
eternally
existing
in
three persons:
Father, Son,
and Holy
Spirit.
See
" Blessed Holy
Trinity" in Inner Chambers
•
We
believe Jesus
Christ,
without any
change in His
eternal deity,
became man
through
conception
by the Holy
Spirit and
virgin birth.
He died on the
cross, a
perfect and
complete
sacrifice,
to establish
the Way
for mankind to
be reconciled
to God. He
died for our
sins
according
to the
Scriptures.
He was
resurrected
bodily from
the dead by
the Holy
Spirit.
He then
walked the
earth forty
days preparing
His apostles
for the work
of the
ministry and
teaching
and performing
the
miraculous.
Afterward, He
ascended into
heaven and NOW
sits on the
eternal throne
of David at
the right hand
of the Father.
• We believe
that the completed work of
Christ: His
birth, life, ministry, water
and
Spirit baptism, teachings,
miracles, crucifixion, death,
burial, descent into hell,
resurrection, ascension and
enthronement to
the right hand of God the
Father
(place of all authority and
power) fulfills the promises
of God of the Old testament
prophets.
The fulfillment is the witness
and consummation of the Gospel
and outpourings of the
Holy
Ghost.
The Lord Jesus declared to His
disciples that the Holy Ghost
would be sent to
them to represent Him and
affirm His presence, power and
authority with His
Father,
John 16:1-23 (see:Amplified
Bible)
• We believe
Jesus is alive and has
been ruling as King and
Lord of all things since
His ascension and
crowning evidenced by
the fulfillment of Joel
2:28-32...
the Day of Pentecost
(Feast of Open Heaven)
the gift of the Holy
Spirit Acts 2:1-4.
Christ's Kingship is evidenced
by the divine gift
and working presence of the
Holy Spirit
as He manifests Himself and
administrates the spiritual
gifts of the Kingdom given to
the
believing church on earth. His
Person and manifest presence
empowers the work
of the ministry of the
Kingdom.
•
We
believe Christ rules
with authority over all
things, principalities and
powers.
A life in the Kingdom of God
is not appointed for some
future event.
The Kingdom of Heaven is a Now
reality seen through the eyes,
ears and acts of faith.
Hebrews 11:1-3
•
We
believe the
Kingdom of Heaven on earth has
not been postponed for
a future reign.
The twelve eye-witness
forerunners completed the
Jewish Mission through the
work
of the 1st century "apostolate.
" Paul, an
ascension-gift apostle,
(forerunner, vanguard,
special messenger) completed
his race of destiny by
entering a village first
preaching
to the Jews and then to the
Gentiles. Paul's
ministry focused on the
Hellenistic Jews
and Gentiles of Asia Minor. He
wrote letters to 7 churches
and in which he had
labored:
Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus,
Philippi, Colosse, Thessalonia
and Rome (where
imprisoned)...
likened to John whom Jesus
instructed to
write to 7 churches of Asia in
which
John had labored.
(Revelation
1:11) ...Write promptly what
you see (your vision) in a
book and send it to
the seven churches which are
in Asia—to Ephesus and to
Smyrna and to Pergamum
and to Thyatira and to
Sardis and to Philadelphia
and to Laodicea.
Both
the Epistles of the New
Testament and the
Apocalypse, record that
John belonged
to the multitude of
personal eyewitnesses of
the life and work of
Christ 1 John 1:1-5;
4:14),
that he had lived for a
long time in Asia Minor,
was thoroughly acquainted
with the conditions
existing in the
various Christian
communities there, and
that he had a position of
authority
recognized by all
Christian communities as
leader of this part of the
Church.
Moreover, the Apocalypse
tells us that its author
was on the island of
Patmos "for the word
of God and for the
testimony of Jesus", when
he was honored with the
heavenly Revelation
contained in the
Apocalypse (Revelation
1:9)...
The Christian writers of
the second and third
centuries testify to us as
a tradition universally
recognized and
doubted by no one that the
Apostle and Evangelist
John lived in Asia Minor
in the last decades of the
first century.
Believers were assembled into
the One Holy Apostolic Church
built upon Jesus
Christ,
the Chief Cornerstone and the
apostolic-prophetic ministries
in compliance to His mandate.
Acts 1:8
(AMP)
But you shall receive power
(ability, efficiency, and
might) when the Holy Spirit
has come upon you, and you
shall be My witnesses in
Jerusalem and all Judea and
Samaria
and to the ends (the very
bounds) of the earth.
By 70 AD, the apostolic
company of Peter and the
apostolic company of Paul had
carried
the Gospel into the then known
world. The Sign that the
Kingdom had been established
and the mandate fulfilled was:
the destruction of Jerusalem
and Jewish Temple
as prophesied by the Lord.
(see Matthew 24, Mark 13 and
Luke 21 whereby Jesus declares
the events that would
occur within the disciples
generation.)
•
We
believe Jesus
is King, High Priest and
Advocate this day, this
moment... to those who
believe and receive Him.
He is actively
administering the affairs of
His Church and the
affairs of nations through the
Holy Spirit.
1 John 2:20 (AMP)
But you have been anointed by
[you hold a sacred appointment
from, you have been given
an unction from] the Holy one,
and you all know [the Truth]
or you know all things.
• We
believe
the
Name of Jesus
represents Who He Is and All that He Is.
He Is the I AM, the only begotten Son of God and the
Son of man
sent from
heaven...
fully
God and fully
man.
•
We
believe
in
the
experience
of Pentecost: the gift
of tongues, baptism
and empowerment
of
the Holy Spirit are
for those who believe
and receive.
•"a
thing" or "an

His
ministry is to

Lord Jesus
Christ through

Body

He is sent to

guide,
instruct,
fill, and
empower the
believer for
godly living
service [in
the Truth of
God, the Word
and the
Spirit], while
the church age
remains.
It is the Holy

miracle
healing,
prophetic
songs,
prophetic

• We believe
that water
baptism and
the Lord’s
Supper are
ordinances to
be observed by
the
Church during
this present
church age. They
are not to be
regarded as
the means of
salvation.
Water baptism
by submersion
is the
personal
submission
'rite' in the
Kingdom Life
which
symbolizes our
death to self
and commitment
to obedience
to Jesus
Christ as King
of all
things and
Lord of our
lives.
• We
believe that the
Church, defined, is
composed of all such
persons who through
saving
faith in Jesus Christ,
the divine work of
regeneration by the Holy
Spirit, the
baptism of
fire
and consummation with
Christ through
water
baptism... are
the
Body
of
Christ
of
which
Christ is the Head and
the Head of Christ is
God the Father. 1
Corinthians 11:3
•
We believe
that man was
directly
created by God
in His own
image.
•
We believe
that the
atoning death
of Jesus
Christ and His
resurrection
provide the
only way
of justification
and salvation
for all who
believe.
• We believe that during the
destiny age of the Church,
the Holy Spirit is to
convict of sin
and regenerate the repentant
sinner. Through
genuine sorrow and
repentance, and believing,
receiving and submitting to
Christ, one experiences the
regeneration of the spirit .
We become a New Creature....
"a Born-again spirit" by the
Holy Spirit.
•
We believe
that all the
saved should
live a life
that honors
and glorifies the
Lord and find
a Spirit filled, Spirit-guided fellowship
of believers in which to serve. We
are commanded
of God
to remain
separated from false
doctrines,
sinful
pleasures, and unrighteous
practices.
• We
believe in the
resurrection
of all the
dead, of the
believer to
everlasting
life and joy
with
the Lord and
of the
unbeliever to
judgment and
everlasting
conscious
punishment
and
eternal
damnation.
The
dead in Christ
will rise
first and
those who are
still alive
will
be caught up
together to meet
the Lord.
I
Cor.15:52; I
Thessalonians
4:16-17
The
hope of His
appearing has
a vital
bearing on the
personal life
and service of
the believer.
True,
apostolic,
scriptural
teaching of
the Kingdom
Message and
Full Gospel of
Jesus Christ
does not
support the
teachings of a
"double
rapture" along
with its
suppositions
and
inferences
that are made
to present
such
heresy.
This false
teaching by
John Nelson
Darby has
permeated
many
denominational
and
independent
churches
around the
world.
Orthodox
churches have
not changed
their
doctrines
of faith to
encompass these
doctrinal and
theological
false
teachings.
For full
discourse on
what Jesus
taught in
Matthew 24,
Luke 23 and
Mark 16...

THIS
GENERATION."

Church
Age"? in

Chambers
• We believe
in the
existence of
uncountable
numbers of
angels who
worship God.
Angels
are also assigned to minister to
believers.
• We
believe in the
existence of
Satan, the
devil, a
fallen angelic being,
who with his
demons
opposes God, His
people, and
His work, over
whom believers have
spiritual
victory
through
the
Name of Jesus Christ.
The Name
of Jesus
represents Who He Is and All that He Is!
•
Satan
is
a free agent.
He has
a realm of
authority in
the sinful
affairs of
mankind.
He has
demonic
subjects who
administer his
extreme
of demonic
influence.
Satan is
Not omnipresent
(present
everywhere),
He is
Not omnipotent
(have
absolute
power and
authority),
He is
Not omniscient
(knowing
everything).
Only
our Living
Triune God
possesses
these
attributes!
Ephesians
6:12 AMP
For we
are not
wrestling with
flesh and
blood
[contending
only with
physical
opponents],
but
against the
despotisms,
against the
powers,
against [the
master spirits
who are] the
world
rulers of this
present darkness,
against the
spirit forces
of wickedness
in the
heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
