Doctrinal Statement

I. WE BELIEVE IN THE SCRIPTURES OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS AS VERBALLY INSPIRED BY GOD, AND INERRANT IN THE ORIGINAL WRITINGS; AND THAT THEY ARE OF SUPREME AND FINAL AUTHORITY IN FAITH AND LIFE.  THAT THE HOLY WORD TEACHES THE FOLLOWING:  ( 2 TIMOTHY 3:16; 2 PETER 1:21; MATTHEW 24:35 )

II. THAT THERE IS ONE GOD, ETERNALLY EXISTING IN THREE PERSONS:  FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT.  ( I JOHN 5: 7-8 )

III. THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS BEGOTTEN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, AND IS TRUE GOD AND TRUE MAN. ( MATTHEW 1:18-23; LUKE 1: 27-32 )

IV. THAT MAN WAS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, THAT HE SINNED AND THEREBY INCURRED NOT ONLY PHYSICAL DEATH, BUT ALSO SPIRITUAL DEATH WHICH IS SEPARATION FROM GOD; AND THAT ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE BORN WITH A SINFUL NATURE, AND, IN CASE OF THOSE WHO REACH MORAL RESPONSIBILITY, BECOME SINNERS IN THOUGHT, WORD AND DEED.  (GENESIS 1:26; ROMANS 3:23; ROMANS 8:6 )

V. THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, AS A REPRESENTATIVE AND SUBSTITUTIONARY SACRIFICE; AND THAT ALL WHO RECEIVE HIM ARE JUSTIFIED ON THE GROUND OF HIS SHED BLOOD.  ( JOHN 1:12; I CORINTHIANS 15:1-8;  ROMANS 5:1; HEBREWS 9:11-12 )

VI. IN THE RESURRECTION OF THE CRUCIFIED BODY OF OUR LORD; IN HIS ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN; AND IN HIS PRESENT LIFE THERE FOR US, AS HIGH PRIEST AND ADVOCATE.  ( JOHN 14:3; JOHN 6:40; 1 CORINTHIANS 15:22 )

VII. IN “THAT BLESSED HOPE”; THE PERSONAL, PREMILLENNIAL AND IMMINENT RETURN OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. ( I THESSALONIANS 4:13-18 )

VIII. THAT ALL WHO RECEIVE BY FAITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ARE BORN AGAIN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEREBY BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD.  (2 CORINTHIANS 5:17)

IX. WE BELIEVE IN THE BODILY RESURRECTION OF THE JUST AND THE UNJUST; THE EVERLASTING CONSCIOUS BLESSEDNESS OF THE SAVED IN HEAVEN, AND THE EVERLASTING CONSCIOUS PUNISHMENT OF THE LOST IN HELL. (REVELATION 20: 11-15)

X. WE BELIEVE IN THE PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAVED.  (HEBREWS 12:1; MATTHEW 10:22; EPHESIANS 6:18)

XI. WE BELIEVE IN BAPTISM AS THE IMMERSION OF THE BELIEVER IN WATER, SIGNIFYING DEATH TO THE WORLD AND NEW LIFE IN CHRIST, THAT THE BELIEVER IS GIVING TESTIMONY TO PEOPLE, HOLY ANGELS AND demons THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER IN satan’s KINGDOM BUT THAT THEY ARE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD ALMIGHTY THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. ( ACTS 2:38; ACTS 10:48; ROMANS 6:3-4; COLOSSIANS 2:12 )

XII. WE BELIEVE THAT THE CHURCH IS IN THE “LAST DAYS” WHEN satan IS RAPIDLY PREPARING THE WORLD FOR THE APPEARANCE OF THE anti-christ.  THAT satan IS A SUPERNATURAL PERSON, KNOWN IN SCRIPTURE AS THE “god OF THIS WORLD” AND “prince and power of the air”.  THAT he IS ORGANIZED ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS 6:12 AND THAT THE ARMOR IS TO BE PERSONALLY PUT ON BY BELIEVERS AS GODS PROTECTION AGAINST THE EVIL POWER.  THAT his POWER AND ACTIVITY IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH UNKNOWN MILLIONS OF demonic HOSTS.  THAT THEY ARE ORGANIZED AGAINST THE FORCES OF CHRIST AND ESPECIALLY TO ALL WHO PRESENT A THREAT TO his KINGDOM OF darkness.  FURTHER IT IS OUR CONVICTION THAT THE BELIEVER HAS POWER OVER THESE HORDES OF SUPERNATURAL ENERGY POWERS ONLY IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THE POWER IN HIS ATONING BLOOD.  THAT MAN IS CREATED A LITTLE LOWER THAN ANGELIC CREATURES AND THUS CAN EXERCISE AUTHORITY OVER FALLEN SUPERNATURAL BEINGS ONLY IN THE NAME AND POWER OF THE CHRIST WHO HAS DEFEATED THEM.  SINCE demonic HOSTS ARE DEFEATED BY THE CROSS, RESURRECTION AND INTERCEDING MINISTRY OF CHRIST, BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS ARE NOT TO FEAR THEM! RATHER BELIEVERS ARE TO FEAR THEIR IGNORANCE OF THIS SPIRITUAL OPPONENT.   ( 2 CORINTHIANS 2:11; 2 CORINTHIANS 4:4; EPHESIANS 2:2; HEBREWS 2:14; EPHESIANS 2:6; I PETER 5:8; EPHESIANS 6:10-18 )

XIII. TONGUES:  WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PHENOMENON WAS GIVEN TO THE CHURCH IN ITS EARLY MINISTRY TO REVEAL THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF GOD TO THE UNBELIEVER. (1 CORINTHIANS 14:22)  THAT THE SIGN FOR THESE LATTER DAYS ARE COMPARED WITH THE EARLIER DAYS OF THE CHURCH IS REVEALED IN THE LOVE THAT BELIEVERS REVEAL TO GOD AND TO EACH OTHER.  ( JOHN 13:34-35; ROMANS 5:5 )  IN THIS PRESENT HOUR OF APATHY, APOSTASY AND SPIRITUAL DEGENERACY IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THE SOVEREIGN GOD WOULD UTILIZE THIS AND OTHER GIFTS FOR THE EDIFYING OF SAINTS.  ( 1 CORINTHIANS 14:26-33 )  SINCE satan CAN COUNTERFEIT WHAT HE KNOWS OF GOD, IT IS THE FIRM CONVICTION OF “EL-KANNAH MINISTRIES” DOCTRINALLY AND EXPERIENCIALLY THAT satan IS GREATLY AT WORK IN THIS AGE OF THE 1980’S, 1990’S, ETC. TO BRING CONFUSION, DIVISION AND BONDAGE ON INDIVIDUALS AND CHURCHES THROUGH THE SUPERNATURALISM OF “TONGUES” AND ALL FORMS OF WITCHCRAFT.  satan IS COUNTERFEITING IN THE REALM OF “TONGUES” AND  “GIFTS”.  THEREFORE, ALL SUPERNATURAL GIFTS AND EVIDENCES MUST BE TESTED BY THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD. ( 1 JOHN 4:1-4 )

XIV. SPIRITUAL GIFTS: SPIRITUAL GIFTS ARE DISTRIBUTED TO MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST INDIVIDUALLY ACCORDING TO THE SOVEREIGN WILL OF GOD.  SOME OF THE MANY ARE:  WISDOM, ETERNAL LIFE, LOVE, POWER OVER EVIL SPIRITS, PREACHING, TEACHING, EVANGELISM, REST, PASTORS, TONGUES.  (ALL ARE FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS)  (1 CORINTHIANS 12, 13 & 14)

XV. SOUL LIBERTY: WE BELIEVE IN THE RIGHT OF THE INDIVIDUAL TO COME TO GOD ANY TIME, ANY PLACE AND ANY WHERE FOR PRAYER AND FELLOWSHIP IN THE SPIRIT.  THAT THIS IS IN AND THROUGH THE MEDIATION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ONLY. (ACTS 10:2; ACTS 16:25; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:17-18)
