Mark:    16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16:16 The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does  not believe will be condemned. 16:17 These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 10  16:18 they will pick up snakes with their hands, and whatever poison they drink will not harm them; 11  they will place their hands on the sick and they will be well.”     

GOD HAS BEEN calling out from the world a people for himself and sending his people back into the world to be his servants and his witnesses, for the extension of his kingdom, the building up of Christ's body, and the glory of his name. We confess with shame that we often denied our calling and failed in our mission by becoming conformed to the world or by withdrawing from it. Yet we rejoice that even when borne by earthen vessels, the gospel is still a precious treasure.

"Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we MUST be saved." (Acts 4:12)

The Bible is our all-sufficient rule for faith and practice. This Statement of Fundamental Truth is intended simply as a basis of fellowship among us (i.e., that we all speak the same thing, 1 Corinthians 1:10 [KJV/NIV]; Acts 2:42 [KJV/NIV]). No claim is made that it covers all Biblical truth but directs us to the fundamental doctrine of salvation as set forth in Scripture.

1. The Holy Bible is Inspired by God. The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

2. There is One Creator, the Infallible and Immutable God. The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

There is only ONE TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ is His expressed (visible) image. Jesus Christ is the HUMAN FORM of the INVISIBLE GOD (SPIRIT). God chose to embody Himself (being a Spirit) in a form that humans could identify with. God is not a committee of three distinct persons. In Jesus Christ is the FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD bodily (Colossians 2:9). He is Alpha and Omega---the beginning and the ending, and everything in between. He alone is the Creator of all things (Genesis 1:1, St. John 1:1-14).

The Lord Jesus Christ, God with Us: The Lord Jesus Christ, as to His divine and eternal nature, is the proper and only Begotten of the Father, but as to His human nature, He is the proper Son of Man. He is therefore, acknowledged to be both God and man; who because He is God and man is "Immanuel," God with us.

3. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Invisible God in Human Flesh: The Lord Jesus Christ is the Son (the visible image) of the invisible God. The Scriptures declare:
His virgin birth,

His sinless life,

His miracles,

His bodily resurrection from the dead,

His exaltation to the right hand of God.

(TOP)

4. God Created the Heaven and the Earth: The first thing God did in the beginning was to create the heaven and earth. After the creation of the universe, God made man in His image: "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness." After man created, God rested on the 7th day.

5. Jesus Christ is the Source of Life  and Salvation for Mankind: Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Conditions to Salvation

Salvation is received through repentance and believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, as Savior of the world. Regeneration is the act of faith through the work of the Holy Spirit.

The Evidence of Salvation

The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit.

The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.

6. Water Baptism in the Name of Jesus was Initiated by the Apostles in the New Testament Church.

Baptism in Water

The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.

  • Acts 2:38
  • Acts 8:16
  • Acts 10:48
  • Acts 10:47,48 [KJV/NIV]
  • Romans 6:4 [KJV/NIV]
Holy Communion

The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements --bread and the fruit of the vine-- is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4 [KJV/NIV]), a memorial of his suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26 [KJV/NIV]), and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26 [KJV/NIV]), and is enjoined on all believers "till He come!"

7. Speaking in Tongues is the Initial Evidence of the In-filling of the Holy Spirit: All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduce of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.

This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth.

With the baptism in the Holy Spirit come such experiences as:

  • an overflowing fullness of the Spirit, John 7:37-39 [KJV/NIV], Acts 4:8 [KJV/NIV]
  • a deepened reverence for God, Acts 2:43 [KJV/NIV], Hebrews 12:28 [KJV/NIV]
  • an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work, Acts 2:42 [KJV/NIV]
  • and a more active love for Christ, for His Word and for the lost, Mark 16:20 [KJV/NIV]

8. The Mission of the Church is Global Evangelism: The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven.

Since God's purpose concerning man is to seek and to save that which is lost, to be worshipped by man, and to build a body of believers in the image of His Son, the priority reason for being of the Assemblies of God as part of the Church is:

  1. To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world.
      Acts 1:8 [KJV/NIV]
      Matthew 28:19,20 [KJV/NIV]
      Mark 16:15,16 [KJV/NIV]
  2. To be a corporate body in which man may worship God.
       1 Corinthians 12:13 [KJV/NIV]
  3. To be a channel of God's purpose to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son.
       Ephesians 4:11-16 [KJV/NIV]
       1 Corinthians 12:28 [KJV/NIV]
       1 Corinthians 14:12 [KJV/NIV]

The New Fellowship Church exists expressly to give continuing emphasis to this reason for being in the New Testament apostolic pattern by teaching and encouraging believers to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. This experience:

  1. Enables them to evangelize in the power of the Spirit with accompanying supernatural signs.
       Mark 16:15-20 [KJV/NIV]
      Acts 4:29-31 [KJV/NIV]
      Hebrews 2:3,4 [KJV/NIV]
  2. Adds a necessary dimension to worshipful relationship with God.
      1 Corinthians 2:10-16 [KJV/NIV]
      1 Corinthians 12 [KJV/NIV]
      1 Corinthians 13 [KJV/NIV]
      1 Corinthians 14 [KJV/NIV]
  3. Enables them to respond to the full working of the Holy Spirit in expression of fruit and gifts and ministries as in New Testament times for the edifying of the body of Christ.
      Galatians 5:22-26 [KJV/NIV]
      1 Corinthians 14:12 [KJV/NIV]
      Ephesians 4:11,12 [KJV/NIV]
      1 Corinthians 12:28 [KJV/NIV]
      Colossians 1:29 [KJV/NIV]

9. Divine Healing is a Divine Promise to all Believers: Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

10. The Millennial Reign of Christ:The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.

This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel,

and the establishment of universal peace.

11. There Will be a Final Judgment to Seal the Final Destiny of Believers and Unbelievers.

There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

12. The New Heavens and the New Earth

"We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness."
