We believe and do firmly preach that the Bible is evience of receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire is speaking with other tongues as God giveth utterance as on the day of Pentecost and as mentioned in (Acts 2:1-4); that the tongue spoken in and through the utterance is given by the Spirit and may not be understood by man but is understood of God.

(Genesis 1:27; I John 3:1-5)

(Romans 1:16; Luke 24:46-49; Acts 1:2-8).
(Romans 1:16; Luke 24:46-49; Acts 1:2-8).

(Matthew 3:16; 4:1-11).
(Matthew 3:16; 4:1-11).
We believe and do firmly preach that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God who was possessed of the full nature and disposition of humanity, but through obedience to the Father, He took on the whole armor of faith as an example to others of the same nature and He was thus made to resist the devil and to overcome the world. (Matthew 1:21; Luke 4:12; Ephesians 6:13-17; St. John 1:1-3;
Revelation 3:21; St. John 16:33; I Peter 2:21).
We preach and do firmly believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God, and that He was spiritually conceived and born of the Virgin Mary, taking upon Himself the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. By which He was conceived in the Virgin Mary and brought forth in the likeness of every man in order to convince man of the very fact that human flesh can live in this world free from sin and condemnation
Romans 8.
We preach and do firmly believe that Jesus Christ was born in the world through the Virgin Mary for a purpose and that purpose was and is to save His people from their sins; and that in Him is no sin, and if we abide in Him we will commit no sin and he that commiteth sin is of the devil. (Matthew 1:21; 1 John 3:6; I John 3:8).
We believe in anointing with oil Oil is a type, a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
The anointing with oil is a physical act to show visibly the invisible anointing of the Holy Spirit upon a person or a thing. The anointing of the Holy Spirit, symbolized by the anointing with oil, had two main purposes.
These purposes are: to symbolize the sanctifying and setting apart of a person or an object as sacred and for the use and service of God, and to bring about healing of the physical body. Ex. 29:36; Lev. 8:11; Lev. 8:30, 1 Kin. 19:16; Is. 1:6;
Mark 6:13; Luke 10:34; James 5:14
We believe laying on of hands: Has two main functions in the Word of God.
The first is to ordain an individual into a particular ministry to which they have been called. In this instance it would be one of the five fold ministries and or the elders of the church who would lay hands on the person.
The second is the laying on of hands for the purpose of imparting healing to the sick. The Word of God teaches that every born-again believer has the authority, power, and commission of our Lord Jesus Christ to lay hands on the sick in the Name of Jesus and become God's channel to impart healing to the sick. Heb. 6:2; Deut. 34:9; Acts 13:2-3; Mark 5:22-23; Mark 6:5; Mark 7:32-35; Mark 8:22-25;
Mark 16:18; Acts 5:12;Acts 28:8-9.

Pentecostal
Pentecostalism is a movement within Christianity that places special emphasis on a direct personal experience of God through
the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. The term Pentecostal is derived from Pentecost, a Greek term describing the Jewish Feast of Weeks.
For Christians, this event commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the followers of Jesus Christ, as described in the second Chapter of the Book of Acts.
Pentecostals tend to see their movement as reflecting the same kind of spiritual power, worship styles and teachings that were found in The early church.
Pentecostalism is a Moden American Christian Movement that emerged out of the Holiness Movement around the turn of the Twentieth Century. Two key figures in the genesis of Pentecostalism were Charles Fox Parham (1873-1929),
The Founder of Bethel Bible College in Topeka, Kansas, and
William J. Seymour (1870-1922),
an African American Holiness Evangelist from Louisiana.
William J. Seymour led a revival on Azusa Street in Los Angeles that lasted for several months. Participants experienced a "Baptism in the Holy Ghost". Some were healed of illnesses, while others spoke in tongues. Thousands from across the U.S. traveled to Azusa Street and carried the message back to their home states.
The movement eventually became know as "Pentecostal" because of it's similarity to the First Pentecost, Fifty days after Christ's Resurrection, when the Spirit came upon the early church and enabled them to speak in unfamiliar languages.
