OUR BELIEFS
The Bible is our sufficient rule of faith and conduct.

FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS
THE INSPIRATION OF THE SCRIPTURES
The Scriptures, both the Old Testament and the New Testament, are inspired by God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible and unappealable rule of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3: 15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21)
THE ONLY TRUE GOD
We believe God is Spirit, Eternal, Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. (John 4:24; Psalm 90: 2; Job 42: 2; John 3:20; Psalm 139: 7-10; Matthew 28:19)
THE DEITY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Bible declares: a) The virgin birth of Him. (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1: 31,35). b) His life without sin. (Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22). c)The miracles of Him. (Acts 2:22; 10:38). d) His work vicariously for Him on the Cross. (1 Corinthians 15: 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21). e) The bodily resurrection of Him from the dead. (Matthew 28: 6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15: 4). f) The exaltation of Him to the right hand of God. (Acts 1: 9, 11; 2:33; Philippians 2: 9-11; Hebrews 1: 3).

f. Su exaltación a la diestra de Dios. (Hechos 1:9, 11; 2:33; Filipenses 2:9-11; Hebreos 1:3)
THE DEATH OF MAN
Man was created good and just; because God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." However, the human being by his own will fell into transgression, thus suffering not only in physical death but also in spiritual death, which is separation from God (Genesis 1:26, 27; 2:17; 3: 6; Romans 5: 12-19).
THE SALVATION OF MAN
The only hope of redemption for man is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Conditions for salvation. We believe in salvation by the grace of God. Man cannot be saved by his own merits or by his works. Only by faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ will we receive salvation and eternal life. (John 14: 6; Romans 3:24, 27, 28; Eph. 2: 8-9)
THE ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH
a) Baptism in water
The Scriptures establish the ordinance of baptism in water by immersion. All who repent and believe in Christ as Savior and Lord must be baptized. In this way, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have been raised with Him to walk in new life (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47, 48; Romans 6: 4).
b) The Lord's Supper
The Lord's Supper, consisting of bread and wine, a reminder of his sufferings and his death; a prophecy of his second coming and a command to all believers "until he comes!" (1 Corinthians 11:26).
c) Washing of feet
The Lord Jesus, giving us an example of service and humiliation, washed the feet of his disciples and ordered us to do the same for each other. (John 3: 1-16)
BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
All believers have the right to receive and must earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to the command of the Lord Jesus Christ. With the baptism in the Holy Spirit the believer participates in experiences such as being filled with the Spirit. (John 7: 37-39; Acts 4: 8); a greater reverence for God (Acts 2:43; Hebrews 12:28); a more intense consecration to God and a greater dedication to his work (Acts 2:42); and a more active love for Christ, his Word, and the lost (Mark 16:20).
THE GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are to be longed for by every believer once he has been saved by the blood of Christ (I Corinthians 12: 1-11). But all must yearn for the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5: 22-23). Which is the external evidence of the spirit of the believer. Especially he must practice love (I Corinthians 13: 1-8).
SANCTIFICATION
Sanctification is an act of separation from all evil, and dedication to God (Romans 12: 1, 2; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12). The Bible prescribes a life of peace with all and holiness for which no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). By the power of the Holy Spirit, we can obey the command that says, "Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:15, 16).
THE CHURCH-GOVERNMENT
The Church is the body of Christ, the dwelling place of God through the Holy Spirit, with the divine commission to carry out her great commission. Every believer, born of the Holy Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and church of the firstborn, who are registered in heaven (Ephesians 1:22, 23; 2:22; Hebrews 12:23).
THE MISSION
Our Lord has provided a ministry that constitutes a divine and ordained calling with the threefold purpose of leading the church in: (1) the evangelization of the world (Mark 16: 15-20), (2) the worship of God (John 4 : 23, 24); and (3) the edification of a body of saints to perfect them in the image of his Son (Ephesians 4:11, 16).
DIVINE HEALING
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel (Isaiah 53: 4, 5; Matthew 8:16, 17; James 5: 14-16).
THE BLESSED HOPE
The resurrection of those who have died in Christ and their rapture along with those who are alive at the second coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2: 13; 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52).
THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM OF CHRIST
The second coming of Christ includes the repentance of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with his saints to reign on earth for a thousand years (Zechariah 14: 5; Matthew 24: 27-30; Revelation 1: 7; 19: 11-14; 20: 1-6). This millennial kingdom will bring the salvation of Israel as a nation (Ezekiel 37:21, 22; Zephaniah 3: 19,20; Romans 11: 26,27) and the establishment of a universal peace (Isaiah 11: 6-9; Psalm 72: 3-8; Micah 4: 3, 4).
THE FINAL JUDGMENT
There will be a final judgment in which dead sinners will be resurrected and judged. Anyone whose name is not found in the Book of Life will be confined to suffer eternal punishment in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death, together with the devil and his angels, the beast, and the false. prophet (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9: 43-48; Revelation 19:20; 20: 11-15; 21: 8).
THE NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH
"But we hope, according to his promises, a new heaven and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells" (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:22).
