Keys
to the Kingdom
Church is
a
Oneness Apostolic
Pentecostal
Church
What does this church believe?
We classify ourselves as 'Oneness' to
differentiate
ourselves from
those who adhere
to the doctrine
of the 'Trinity', developed by the Roman Catholic Church over the course of 550 years.
We believe in Scripture alone. We have no other books or manuscripts that we abide by but we do accept most English translations of the Bible as being accurate and proper for study (KJV, NIV, NASB, NKJV etc.)
We ardently reject manmade faith statements such as the "Apostle's
Creed",
due to it's Catholic
Origin;
designed to affirm
the non-biblical "Doctrine
of the Trinity". We believe that Jesus is the 'Son of God' but also that Jesus is the only Father you can see. As man,
Jesus hungered
and even travailed
in the Garden
of Gethsemene
for strength.
As God, Jesus rebuked the winds on the Sea of Galilee, raised Lazarus from the dead, and forgave men's sins.
We teach that the one God who revealed Himself in the Old Testament as Jehovah revealed himself in His Son, Jesus Christ. Thus Jesus Christ was and is God. In other words, Jesus is the one true God manifested in flesh, for in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (John 1:1-14; I Timothy 3:16; Colossians 2:9).
While fully God, Jesus was also fully man, possessing a full and true humanity. He was both God and man. Moreover, the Holy Spirit is God with us and in us. Thus God is manifested as Father in creation and as the Father of the Son, in the Son for our redemption, and as the Holy Spirit in our regeneration. JESUS was and is in essence the “God – Man”.
We distinguish ourselves from most other Church denominations in that nearly 100 percent of our members have had a "Speaking
in Tongues" experience. (Mark 16:17, Acts 10:46, Acts 11:15-18)
We believe you MUST be Born Again. (John 3:5) That is, Born of the Water and Born of the Spirit. (John 3:7)
We
baptize in the Name
of JESUS for the
remission of sin.
(Acts 2:38) (Born
of the WATER)
We believe that
when you receive
the Spirit of
God
into your life,
you shall speak
in new tongues.
(Acts 2:38,Mark
16:17, Acts 10:46,
Acts 11:15-18)
(Born
of the SPIRIT ).
