THE MILLENNIUM. We believe, at His return, Jesus Christ will establish the Kingdom of God on the earth and rule the earth with the spirit born saints under Him for one thousand years. The government of God, through Christ in the millenium, will bring peace and prosperity to the earth with salvation open to all mankind. We believe that the government of God has already been restored to His Church and that all saints in preparation for ruling in the Kingdom must be subject to it.

THE SPIRIT IN MAN. We believe man is not and does not have an immortal soul, but a human spirit which is imparted to the human brain. The human spirit is not a conscious element of man, rather it enables man to reason, to think, to be aware of his own existence thereby separating man from animal. Man’s spirit needs to be united with the Spirit of God for man to fulfill God’s purpose for man. The Holy Spirit united with the spirit of man enables man to understand the Bible and the spiritual truths of the Bible that the human eye cannot see nor the human ear hear concerning the things God has in store for us. Memory is stored in the human spirit. The human spirit returns to God, who gave it, upon death.

THE RESURRECTIONS TO LIFE. We believe there will be a resurrection to spiritual life of all the faithful saints who have ever lived at Christ’s return, and that those faithful saints who are alive at his return will be changed to immortality. We believe following the millenium there will be a resurrection to physical life during the Great White Throne Judgment spoken of in Revelation 20 to give opportunity for salvation and spiritual birth into the Kingdom of God to all those who have lived down through history and have never had the opportunity to know God. We believe those who have not been called of God into his Church at this time have not lost their opportunity for salvation. We believe there is a resurrection of the incorrigible to the lake of fire.

IDENTITY OF MODERN ISRAEL. We believe the promise to Abraham of the scepter which included both the kingly line and spiritual promises including Christ the Messiah and salvation through Him were passed to Judah. We believe salvation is through Jesus Christ alone and is not inherited through the birthright and that salvation is offered to all nations, ethnic groups and races of people. We believe the physical promises, called the birthright, made to Abraham and his physical descendants are being fulfilled in this day. We believe that the western democracies of English speaking people are largely the descendants of Joseph, the son of Israel; and that they are enjoying the material and national blessings of the physical birthright which was handed down through Joseph’s sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. We believe the knowledge that God is fulfilling the spiritual promise through Jesus Christ and the physical birthright promises to modern day Israel is necessary for understanding prophecy in our day. The nation known as Israel today in the land of Palestine is comprised mostly of the tribe of Judah, called the Jews.

THE TITHING SYSTEM. We believe the tithing system established by God in the Old Testament, confirmed by Jesus Christ, and practiced by the New Testament Church is applicable to and binding upon Christians today. This includes the teaching on first, second and third tithe.
