Man is a fallen being, alienated from God. In this dispensation, man is saved by grace through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His shed blood. He bore our sins in His body and gave to us His righteousness. It is not of any work that man can do, but what He did for us, a gift. This salvation is available to all who will believe. Through this transaction the sinner becomes a child of God and joint heir with Jesus Christ. Titus 3:3-7; Eph. 2:8-9; Col. 1:20-22; I Peter 2:24; Rom. 10:13; I Tim. 2: 1-4; 2 Cor. 5:21
Those who are saved in this present dispensation are saved for eternity. There is nothing a man can do to be cast from God's family and lose his salvation. Those who God saves, he keeps. I John 5:11-13; John 10:27-29; I Peter 1:3-5
The church, the bride of Jesus Christ, is made up of all believers during this age, baptized into the body by the Holy Ghost. The local church is the assembly of baptized believers in a particular location, joined together to fulfill God's plan and purpose, which is above all else, to bring glory and honor to God. All believers should be an active member in local assembly. Each local assembly is to be independent, with no outside control, only it's head being Jesus Christ. I Cor. 12:13; Acts 2:41-43; Eph 4:11, 5:23-24; Acts 1:8; Rom 1:16
This church observes two ordinances: believers baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism by immersion after one has received Jesus Christ as Savior. It pictures death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and is a public indentification with Him. There is no merit in this other than being obedient to His command, but it is a prerequisite to church membership. The Lord's Supper is a time of remembrance of what He has done for us and self-examination in light of that. The elements of the Lord's Supper are unleavened and grape juice. Acts 8:36-39; Rom 6:3-5; I Cor. 11:23-32
The blessing hope, the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for those who are fallen asleep in Him and for His living saints. The event will precede the seven-year tribulation. I Thess. 4:13-18; I Cor. 15:50-54; Rev 4:1
After the seven-year tribulation, Jesus Christ will return to the earth with His bride. He will cast the beast, false prophet and Satan into hell and establish His kingdom on the earth, ruling an reigning in righteousness for 1000 years. Rev. 19:11-20:6
