DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
The Bible is the Word of God, divinely inspired by God and the Holy Spirit(2 Tim.3: 16, 2 P.1: 21).Holy men of God who wrote it were divinely inspired and has been compiled in 66 books from Genesis to Revelation.The Bible contains the plan of salvation for man (2 Tim.3: 15), and eternal life (Jn.5: 39).It is the prophetic word (1 P.1: 19), is living and active (He.4: 12).The Scripture was left to our teaching (Rm.15: 4, 1Co.10: 11, 2 Ti.3: 16,17).
The Trinity: There is one true God (Dt.4: 35,6:4, :6,45:21 Is.44-22 Eph.4: 6), and has revealed in three persons: Father, Son andEspiritu Santo. They have the same stuff and same attributes.Three personalities should not be confused, or mixed, but a substance that must be split (Gn.1: 26, 3:22,11:7, Is.6: 8, Mt.3: 16:17, 2Co.13: 14 , 1P.1: 2, Rm.1 :1-4, Mt.28: 19, 1Jn.5: 7).These three are one (Jn.10: 30, 1Jn.5: 7, Jn.14 :7-11, Ga.3: 20).
The Father - God as Father, reigns over all. The Father is eternal and who have become children of God through Jesus Christ, who handed over to the Father (1 Cr.29: 10; Jn.1: 12; Rm.8 :14-15, 1 Cor. 8:6; Eph.4: 6).
The Son We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, being conceived by the Holy Spirit (Lc.1 :34-35; Jn.1: 1). Jesus came to reveal the Father and to redeem man from his sin (Jn.1: 14, 14:9, 10; Rm.5: 8). This redemption was fulfilled by dying on the cross and rose again the third day, and ascending to the right hand of the Father where He intercedes on behalf of those in the trust (Rm.8: 34).
The Holy Spirit is the Divine Person who convicts the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment (Jn.16: 7.8). It is God (Hch.5: 3.4), and is the Comforter (Jn.16: 16). He indwells and guides the believer into all truth and imparts gifts (Jn.7 :37-38; Jn.16: 13; 1Co.12 :8-10).
Repentance: The pain or sorrow for having offended God by our conduct pecaminesas (Hch.2: 37,38). Repentance is necessary to enter the kingdom of heaven. (Mt.3: 8, Hch.26: 20). By having a genuine repentance you have a change in thinking, feeling and acting.
Salvation: It's a gift that God in His love and mercy given to men by grace and repent and turn to God (Eph.2 :8-9, 1 TS.1: 9). The man believing and receiving Jesus is made a child of God (Jn.1: 12).

The baptismal formula is established by the Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19), and must be by total immersion in water include the death, burial and resurrection to new life in Christ.
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues (Lc.3: 16, Hch.2 :2-4). It is given to the believer by faith and ask him to be a promise of the Father (Hch.2 :38-39).The Holy Spirit empowers the believer to testify of Jesus (Hch.1: 8), and are trained through the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit that gives as he wants as gifts from God.

Divine Healing: The disease was one of the results of the fall of man because of sin, but God provided a response and is the source of health as it calls itself The Healer (Ex.15: 26). Christ Himself took our infirmities and carried our sorrows, and with his stripes we are healed (Is.53: 4.5, 1 Q.2: 24). The believer has received the authority to heal the sick in the Name of Jesus (Mr.16: 18, Stg.5: 14,15).
