We believe the Bible is more than just a good book, but it is the Word of God and is given to us as a guide to live and grow by.

"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:8) Jesus charged the disciples to preach what he had taught them unto all creatures. The Bible shows us that the disciples and apostles did just that. They were inspired by God to teach salvation to us and the entire world. This charge was first fulfilled when Peter on the day of Pentecost stood before a crowd and when they asked what must we do, he answered: "Then Peter said unto them, Repent", (In the NT repentance means to turn from sin. In fact, all men everywhere are commanded by God to repent of their sins [Acts 17:30]. God's longsuffering leads us to repentance [2 Pet. 3:9] as does His kindness [Rom. 2:4]), "and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38.).

Baptism by emersion is used to signify burial with Christ and the washing away of sins. Jesus said, "Except a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5 KJV)

When you receive the Holy Ghost you are being born of the Spirit that Jesus spoke of. "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the spirit gave them utterance." (Acts 2:4 KJV). Also see: Acts 1:8, Acts 19:6
