    I believe that:

    Bible Old Testament and the New Testament is the inspired Word of God by the Holy Spirit.

    Allah the Almighty that the Triune God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three persons in one.

    Jesus Christ is God's only begotten son born of the Virgin Mary which is shaded by the Holy Spirit, that Jesus was crucified, died, was buried and resurrected on the third day from the dead, that He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father as Lord, Savior and Pengatara us.

    All men have sinned and lost the glory of God and should repent and turn to God to receive forgiveness of sins.

    Justification and new birth occurs through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ of the Holy Spirit.

    Everyone who repent should be baptized by immersion in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, which is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Sanctification is the fruit of the birth of a new life by believing in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is done by the power of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, because it is the principle and the principle of the sanctity of Christian living.

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit is God's gift to everyone who has purified his heart; early sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues as inspired by the Holy Spirit.

    Holy Communion is done each time to confirm our communion with God and one another.

    Divine healing is available in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus to all who believe.

    The Lord Jesus Christ will descend from Heaven to raise all His people who have died and raised all his people who are still alive and together meet Him in the air, then he will come back with His saints to establish His millennial kingdom on this earth.

    In the end all the dead will be resurrected, the righteous will rise in the first resurrection and receive eternal life, but the wicked will rise in the second resurrection and punishment forever.
