(2 Corinthians 7:1; 13:9;Eph1:4. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer, into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy ghost; to show forth, in solemn and beautiful emblem, our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen savior.( Acts 2:41-42) We believe in the substitutional, redemptive, reconciliatory acts, wrought by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. We believe in exercising of the gifts of the spirit, in accordance with the guidelines of the scripture. We believe that the gift on tongues is for a sign for those who do not believe. that in accordance with the scripture is in cessation during this latter day (1 Cor.13:8) should there be any use of tongues as described in Acts 2:1-21, that they be governed by the scripture as quoted in 1 Corinthians 14:1-28
