The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God manifest in the flesh, the Redeemer of Israel, and personal Saviour of all mankind. 4.Salvation is by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, his death on the cross, and his resurrection, in accordance with the teaching of the Apostles. 5.The Full Gospel of the Kingdom of God, and its personal, prophetic, national and global message.

This accords with the command given by the Apostles to Israel, and all mankind ─ Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:38-39. |
