We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Bible is clear how we are saved. Salvation doesn’t come by way of grace plus works but by grace alone, faith alone.
Nobody is saved through their works, but through faith in Christ alone. Nobody can work their way to heaven.
These beliefs are not based on man’s own knowledge, but what the Bible says. Find links to Bible verses as well.
