Early Church Christian Fellowship shall be a non-denominational church. It shall seek to emphasize the spiritual unity of all true believers. It shall be the policy of this church to give pre-eminence to the preaching of the gospel, to the studying of the word of God and to exalting the Lord Jesus Christ.
a) We believe in the inspiration of the accepted canon of Scriptures as originally given. The Scriptures are infallible and inerrant as well as the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
b) We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as one God, Eternally existing as three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
c) We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual de-pravity and inability to attain to Divine righteousness (2 Corinthians 13:14).
d) We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in his bodily resurrection, in His ascen-sion to right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.
e) We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day, and personal-ly appeared unto his disciples (1 Corinthians 15:1-14; Romans 4:25).
f) We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work at the cross of Calvary through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, by which we obtain remission of sins ( Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12,22; Romans 5:11).
g) We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation as well as personal, lit-eral and bodily coming again the second time for His church ( John14:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
h) We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the eternal God-head in order to fulfill the command of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6).
i) We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a real experience at or subsequent to salvation (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46, Galatians 3:14-15
j) We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called the Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper, for believers (1 Corinthians 11:28-32; Matthew 26:26-28).
k) We believe in the reality and personality of the devil and eternal judgment in the Lake of Fire for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:14-15).
l) We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life for believes (John 5:24; 3:16) and they that are unsaved to the res-urrection of eternal punishment for the unbelievers (Mark 9:43-48; 2 Thessalonians 1:9).
m) We believe that there is one true Universal Church made up of genuine believers, but this one Universal Church is also composed of many local churches in given localities. These Churches are under the sovereign Headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, exercising autonomous government under Him, administering all its local affairs and ministry, as well as propagation of the Gospel(Acts 15:22; Matthew 16:18; 18:15-20)
n) We believe in the operation of the gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit as enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14; Romans 12; Ephesians 4, as manifested in the Early Church.
o) We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of dying to self, separation from the world and per-fecting of holiness in the fear of God as expressing the true Christian faith(Ephesians 5:18; 2 Corinthians 6:14; 7:1).
p) We believe in the healing of the body by Divine power or Divine healing in its varied aspects as practiced in the Early Church (Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14).
