In July 1909, a son was born into the Akindayomi
family of Ondo State of Nigeria. Even though this
child grew up surrounded by idol worshippers, he
knew there existed a greater power and yearned
to know,
“The God who created the earth and everyone on
it”. This pursuit for God led him to the Church
Missionary Society where he was baptized in
1927. Still spiritually unfulfilled, he joined the
Cherubim and Seraphim church in 1931.
Whilst there, he began to hear a voice within him
saying, “You will be my servant.” Since this was
not his intention, he decided to ignore the voice.
This went on for seven years during which all the
business ventures that he tried resulted into
failure. In debt and without peace of mind, he
found himself totally dependent on the grace of
God. Here marked the beginning of a definite
relationship with God.Totally broken, he yielded
saying, “Lord, I will go wherever you want me to
go.” He asked for signs to confirm that this was
indeed God’s call. The confirmation came
through the Bible passages of Jeremiah 1:4-10,
Isaiah 41:10-13 and Romans 8:29-31. The Lord
assured him that He would provide for all his
needs, as he would not receive any salary from
that point on. This proved to be a comforting
reminder during the trials in the months ahead.
He became married in 1941. He continued to
worship with the Cherubim and Seraphim. In
1947, he started to become concerned that the
church was departing from the true Word of God
in some of its practices. By 1952, he felt totally
persuaded to leave the church. He started at
Willoughby Street, Ebute-Metta, Lagos a
housefellowship called, the Glory of God
Fellowship. Initially there were nine members
but before long the fellowship rapidly grew as
the news of the miracles that occurred in their
midst spread.
Pa Akindayomi also had a vision of words that
appeared to be written on a blackboard. The
words were “The Redeemed Christian Church of
God.” Amazingly, Pa Akindayomi who could not
read or write was supernaturally able to write
these words down. In this visitation, God also
said to him that this church would go to the ends
of the earth and that when the Lord Jesus Christ
appeared in glory, He would meet the church.
The Lord then established a covenant with Pa
Akindayomi, synonymous to the Abrahamic
covenant in the Bible. He said that He the Lord
would meet all the needs of the church in an
awesome way if only members would serve Him
faithfully and be obedient to His Word. It is upon
this covenant that the Redeemed Christian
Church of God was built.
Thus, the Redeemed Christian Church of God
was born in 1952, destined by the Lord Himself
to take the world for Him. The church continued
to meet at 9 Willoughby Street until they were
able to acquire some land thereby witnessing a
relocation to the present site of the Headquarters
of the church at 1-5 Redemption Way, Ebute-
Metta, Lagos (formerly 1a, Cemetery Street).
Sometime in the early 70s, God had spoken to Pa
Akindayomi about his successor. The Lord told
him that this man who was not a member of the
church then, would be a young educated man.
Thus when a young university lecturer joined the
church in 1973, Papa was able to recognize him
in the Spirit as the one that the Lord had spoken
about in the past. This man, Enoch Adejare
Adeboye who was then a lecturer of Mathematics
at the University of Lagos soon became involved
in the church. He became one of the interpreters
translating Pa Akindayomi’s sermons from
Yoruba to English. He was ordained a pastor of
the church in 1975.
Papa was preparing to meet his Creator. He sent
for Pastor Adeboye and spent several hours
sharing with him details of the covenant and the
plans of the Lord for the church. Even though a
year before this, the Lord had revealed to Pastor
Adeboye that he would be Papa’s successor, it
was still too difficult for him to fully contemplate
such an awesome responsibility.
Pa Josiah Akindayomi was 71 years old when he
died. Amidst controversy, Pastor Adeboye’s
appointment was formalized by the reading of Pa
Akindayomi’s sealed pronouncement after his
burial.
Since 1981, an open explosion began with the
number of parishes growing in leaps and bounds.
At the last count, there are at least about 2000
parishes of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God in Nigeria. On the International scene, the
church is present in other African nations
including C’ote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Zambia, Malawi,
Zaire, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Gambia,
Cameroon, and South Africa. In Europe the
church is spread in England, Germany, and
France. In the United States there are parishes in
Dallas, Tallahassee, Houston, New York,
Washington, and Chicago and also in the
Caribbean states of Haiti and Jamaica.
Today, God is still doing marvelous deeds
through the Redeemed Christian Church of God,
worldwide. One of the well-known programs of
the church is the Holy Ghost Service, an all night
miracle service that holds on the first Friday of
every month at the Redemption Camp at Km. 46,
Lagos-Ibadan expressway. The average
headcount of those who attend the Service is
about 500,000. The Holy Ghost Service now
holds in different parts of the world which
includes the United Kingdom, India, USA,
Canada, South Africa, Australia, Dubai, Ghana,
Philiphines and many more.

OUR BELIEVE(RCCG).
THE BIBLE TEACHING
We believe that the entire Scripture, both Old
and New Testament are written by the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit – II Tim. 3:16-17. All
the Christian teachings and the Christian
attitude of the Children of God are such as are
established in the Holy Bible – II Tim. 3:10-15; II
Peter 1:21; John 17:17; Ps. 119:105.
We believe that the Bible is the written and
revealed Will of God. Man’s position to God, the
way to obtain salvation, woe and destruction
awaiting sinners that refuse to repent and
everlasting joy that is kept for the born again
souls. All the Bible teachings are holy, what the
Bible reveals as the will of God are such that we
should accept, and whatever God writes in the
Bible and His Law are to remain unchangeable;
for the Heavens and Earth may pass away but
the Word of God stands forever. Deut. 4:22; Rev.
22:18, 19; Matt. 24:34-38.
ABOUT GOD: Ps. 33:6-9
As revealed unto us by the Bible, we believe that
there is only one God, Who is the Creator of both
visible and invisible creatures -Gen. 1:1; Ps.
86:9-10; Is. 43:10-11; John 1:1-3. Only God will
be in existence forever. Ez. 3:14; in God every
creature receives life -John 5:26.
ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
We believe that He is the Son of God; Who took
away our sins, and the Savior of the world. We
also believe that Jesus is God and was born by
Mary the Virgin. He is God revealed in the flesh.
Through Him all things were created. John
1:1-14; John 14:9; Matt. 1:18-25, Is 9:6; Is
53:5-6. We believe in His death on the Cross, and
resurrection, by which He brought redemption –
Is. 53:4-10; I Pet. 2:24; John 10:11; Gal. 3:13,
Matt. 20:28; I Cor. 15:3; Rom. 4:25; II Cor. 5:14;
Heb 2:9; Heb 9:26.
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the TRINITY.
He has the same power, the same glory with God
the Father and God the Son – John 14:16-17;
John 15:26; Matt. 3:16; Acts 13:24. He is one
with Father and the Son who is to be worshiped
and served. Three Persons that become one are
the source of blessings to all the living creatures
in Heaven and on earth – Matt. 28:19; II Cor.
13:14; I John 1:5-7. The Holy Spirit has a great
work to perform. He Teaches, He Speaks to men,
and bears witness in us – Acts 16:6-7; He
performs the work of regeneration for man- John
3:5-6; He also performs the work of
Sanctification in the born again souls until they
are fully sanctified – John 16:8; Eph 1:17-19; II
Thess. 2:13; I Cor. 6:11. This same Holy Spirit
endows believers with gifts they can use – I Cor
12:7; He empowers one in the Lord. Acts 1:8.
ABOUT TRINITY
The egg is comprised of three parts: The yellow
yolk, the whitish part, and the shell. Despite
these three (3) substances, the egg is not three
but one. Likewise, we believe that God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost are
one God, but made of three persons – hence they
are ONE IN TRINITY – Gen. 1:16-29; Matt.
3:16-17; Matt. 18:19.
ABOUT THE DEVIL
We believe that there is a devil, who seeks the
down fall of every man. He brought sickness, sin
and death into the world. Gen. 3:1-16. He seeks
the destruction of those who exercise their faith
in the Lord Jesus. Matt. 4:1-11; James 4:7; I Peter
5:8. The devil has several unclean spirits over
whom he governs – Matt. 12:24. A time would
soon come when he shall be thrown into the pit
and chained for one thousand years- Rev. 20:7-9.
After this, he will be put into the lake of fire
where he will remain suffering together with his
followers for ever and ever. Rev. 20:10
ABOUT MAN
Things He created. Gen. 1:26. God formed man
of the dust of the ground and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life, and man became a
living soul – Gen 2:7. Therefore man is of three
parts, namely body, soul and spirit. Man is God’s
ambassador on earth to take control over all
other creatures on His behalf on earth. Gen.
1:26-28. God allows man to take part in His work
and thereby reveal His love for mankind more
than any other creatures – Gen. 2:15. This also
shows how God elevates man more than the
other creatures upon the earth.
REPENTANCE UNTO GOD
Repentance is the sorrow of a godly man for his
sins with decision to abstain from them – Acts
3:19; 20:21; II Cor. 7:10; Mark 1:15; Is. 55:7; II
Chron. 7:14; Ezek. 18:21.
JUSTIFICATION OR NEW BIRTH
This is God’s grace whereby we are cleansed
from our sins by which we are able to stand
before God as though we have never sinned. Acts
13:39; Rom. 3:25-26; Rom 5:1; I Cor. 6:11; Gal.
3:24; John 1:12-13; 3:3; II Cor. 5:9; Titus 3:5; I
Peter 1:23; Acts 10:43; John 3:3,5.
SANTIFICATION(HOLINESS)
Sanctification is another grace of God by which
our souls are progressively and completely
cleansed. This is the second accomplishment of
the grace which through our faith in the Blood of
Jesus Christ is wrought after we have been
justified and free from our sins or regenerated –
John 17:15-17; I Thess. 4:3; Heb. 2:11; 12:14;
13:12; I John 1:7; Luke 1:74, 75; II Cor. 7:1; I
Peter 1:16; Eph. 5:25-27; I Thess. 5:23-24; II
Thess. 2:13.
WATER BAPTISM
A. The Kinds of Baptism
We believe in baptism by the Name of the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Matt. 28:19. The
teaching is revealed in the New Testament and
all Christians must obey this rule of the Lord –
Acts 2:24; Acts 16:15; Acts 18:8; Acts 19:4-5.
Every saved soul automatically qualifies for
Water Baptism – Acts 8:29-39; 16:18-23.
Baptism by Trinity
We believe that all members of this Church
should receive immersion Water Baptism, in the
Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, as
believers who would not add to, or take out of
the Word of God. Matt. 28:19. C. The Reason for
Water Baptism Water Baptism stands for a sign
and an example of two things.
1. It is an outward sign, an example of a true
repentance of a sinner from his or her sins. Acts
2:38; Acts 22:6
2. Anybody who is baptized is joined with Christ
in His death, burial and resurrection – Rom. 6:1 –
23; Col. 2:113. Therefore anybody baptized is
dead to the world and the evils thereof – Gal.
6:14.
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
All born-again souls should ask for the Holy Spirit
from above, as the Apostles were ordered to wait
in Jerusalem until they were filled from above. It
is the promise of the Father. It is God’s gift which
He gives to those who obey Him – Luke 24:49;
John 4:14-26; Acts 1:4-5; Acts 5:32; Acts
8:14-17. It is God’s promise unto those who are
far and all whom the Lord shall call – Acts
2:38-39. Any Christian who receives the baptism
of the Holy Spirit must speak in tongues – Acts
2:4; Acts 10:34-36; Acts 19:2-6.
ABOUT PRAYER
A Christian without condemnation of heart has a
right to thank God and be in adoration and in
prayer unto the Lord always – Zek. 12:10. His
soul thirsts for God – Ps. 42:2. The Holy Spirit
helps his infirmities in prayer – Rom. 8:26. We
must pray only by the Name of JESUS – John
16:23; ; I Tim. 2:25. Without faith our prayer
shall be powerless before God – James 1:6-8;
Heb. 11:6. Those who are unable to pray annoy
God – Is. 42:22; Is. 64:6-7. Much trouble and
danger are encountered in the absence of prayer
– Zeph 1:4; Dan 9:13-14; Hosea 8:13-14. We are
commanded to pray and not to faint and to pray
without ceasing – Col. 4:2; I Thess. 5:17; I Cor.
7:5; Luke 18:1. The Apostles put prayer first in
their life and they spent much time in prayer –
Acts 6:4; Rom. 6:4; Rom 1:9; Col. 1:9. It is God’s
plan and order that we should pray to receive all
the goods He has promised in His treasure for us
– James 4:2; Dan. 9:3; Matt. 7:7-11; Matt.
9:24-29; Luke 11:13.
ABOUT RESTITUTION
Restitution is a sign of true repentance. This is
payment for what is damaged – Ez.. 22:3.
Whatever cannot give us a clear conscience
before man and God should be restituted without
delay – Lev. 6:1-7; Luke 19:8; Prov. 28:13; Acts
24:16.
Healing without medicine is Biblical – Matt. 4:23;
Ps. 103:3; Sickness is caused because of the fall
of man. The force behind this is Satan – Job
2:1-9; Luke 13:15; Acts 10:3
DIVINE HEALING(WITHOUT MEDICINE)
Healing without medicine is Biblical – Matt. 4:23;
Ps. 103:3; Sickness is caused because of the fall
of man. The force behind this is Satan – Job
2:1-9; Luke 13:15; Acts 10:3. But JESUS came to
destroy the works of the devil – I John 3:8. Christ
purchased our soul from the curse of sin. He bore
our infirmities and carried our sorrow – Matt.
8:15-17. By His stripes we are healed. Is 53:4-5;
Gal. 3:13; I Peter 2:24. Healing without medicine
is of the Gospel – Matt. 9:35; Mark 6:10-18. We
read that the twelve Apostles and the seventy
disciples combined healing with their Ministry of
the Gospel – Luke 9:1-2; Luke 10:1-9. The Lord
commanded us to go into the world, just to teach
the nations alone, but that we should also heal
the sick – Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 10:1, Mark
16:15-18.
We could obtain our healing in these four ways:
1. By individual prayer – John 14:13-14 2. By two
people (or a group of people) who have agreed to
pray by faith – Matt. 18:19-20. 3. By the laying of
hands on the head – Mark 16:18; Acts 9:18; Acts
28:8. 4. By the Ministry of the Elders, anointing
the sick with prayer of faith – James 5:14-15
Special Notice – Before we can work by healing
without medicine, we would have sanctified our
life to the doing of the Law – Rom. 6:13, 19; Rom.
12:1; Matt. 16:24; II Cor. 8:5, 15. Many miracles
were performed by the Apostles – Acts 9:33-42;
Acts 19:11-12; Acts 28:8-9.
PROPHECY IN THE CHURCH
The Bible teaches us to abstain from all
appearance of evil – I Thess. 5:22. “But follow
after righteousness, faith, love, purging
ourselves from unclean things so that we may be
vessels unto honor, sanctified, and prepared
unto every good work” – II Tim. 2:21-22.
Therefore we must not see our Church members
in dancing halls, or cinema halls, reveling, for
such things are works of the flesh. All people
doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom
of God – Gal 5:19-21; I Peter 4:3-4; Prov 31:4-5;
Rev. 1:5-6; Gen 19:30-38.
Swearing and Cursing Forbidden All Christians
should not swear or curse or blaspheme for we
were not taught of Jesus in such a way. “Bless,
and curse not” Rom. 12:14. Swear not at all,
neither by Heaven, nor by the earth or any other
swearing. But let your yes by yes, and No be No
so that you do not run into condemnation – Matt.
5:34; James 5:12.
DUE REVERENCE TO PARENTS AND
AUTHORITIES
All Christians are to obey the law of the country,
obey the government and authority. They should
honor their parents and elders. I Peter 2:13-14;
Rom 13:1-5; Eph. 6:1-3.
REBELLION AGAINST CHURCH AUTHORITY
FORBIDDEN
Rebellion against Church Ministers is against the
Will of God. Those who rebelled against Moses
did not escape unpunished – Num 12:1-10; Num.
16:1-4,32. The Bible teaches that we should obey
our Spiritual leaders and submit to them – Heb
13:17; Joshua 1:16-18.
DEBTS FORBIDDEN
Any member of this Church must not willfully
enter into any debt which he finds difficult to
repay for the Bible teaches us “owe no man
anything, but to love one another” – Rom.
13:7-8. About Debt: 1. Monetary Debt 2. Debt of
promise or Vow – Ps. 105:8 3. Debt of time – Eccl.
3:1-8 4. Debt of not preaching the Gospel – I Cor.
16-17
OUR GARMENT
We believe that any born again soul is a child of
God and is clothed with white garment which is
the Righteousness of Christ. It is received freely,
a gift unto them that lead a victorious life – Rev.
19:7-8. Furthermore, we are advised to put on
charity, which is the bond perfectness – Col.
3:13-14. It is not our policy to have special robes.
We believe that all members must be moderate
in adornment. “Not with braided hair, or gold or
pears, or costly array, but let it be the hidden
man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,
even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price” I Tim.
2:8-9; I Peter 3:1-6; Gen. 35:1-4; Ex. 32:1-8.
LAYING OF HANDS AND ANOINTING THE
SICK
We believe in the laying on of hands and
anointing the sick on the head in the Name of
the Lord and that prayer of faith shall save the
person – James 5:14-16; Mark 16:17-18. But we
do not use any other methods which are not
according to Bible teaching such as sanctification
of water for the sick to drink, or to perform
special washing for the sick in the flowing river,
the use of robe or garment, or to carry a small
stick in the form of a cross ones person or the
use of candles and such things. They are not
Biblical. The order of our Lord is that we should
heal the sick free of charge – Matt 10:8. We do
not receive money or charge money before we
offer prayer for anybody. All those using the
above materials for healing shall perish with
them – Mark 16:18; James 5:14; Matt 10:7-8;
Mark 6:13.
Swearing and Cursing Forbidden All Christians
should not swear or curse or blaspheme for we
were not taught of Jesus in such a way. “Bless,
and curse not” Rom. 12:14. Swear not at all,
neither by Heaven, nor by the earth or any other
swearing. But let your yes by yes, and No be No
so that you do not run into condemnation – Matt.
5:34; James 5:12.

OUR BELIEVE(RCCG)2.
HOLY MATRIMONY
Marriage is honorable in all – Heb. 13:4.
Therefore all members who wish to marry could
do so in the church. They are not to follow the
worldly patter with drumming and dancing,
drunkenness or wear clothes that:30-31; I John
2:15-17; Rom. 12:2.
PROPHECY IN THE CHURCH
We believe in all the prophecies in the Bible;
likewise we believe that we can be given the gift
of prophecy by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit –
I Cor. 14:29. Despise not prophesying – I Thess.
5:20. But any prophecy that is against the Bible
is rejected.
CHURCH DISCIPLINE
Above all, whatever is not Bible teaching should
be ignored entirely by all members. If there be
found any member disobeying these teachings
he may be disciplined privately, but if any
backslider would not admit discipline and
restitute his way, he may be disciplined openly
as it is written in Matt. 18:15-18, So that truth
might be established by the witness of two or
three according to the Word of God. Rebuke
them that sinned before all that others also may
fear – I Tim. 5:20; I Cor. 5:1-13; II Cor. 2:6-11;
Heb. 12:5-12.
ONE HUSBAND, ONE WIFE, CORRECT
DIVORCE AND RE-MARRIAGE
The Word of God teaches us that monogamy has
been the order since the beginning of the Law of
Christ. Divorce is permissible only when a life
partner has committed adultery. Even then,
neither of the two should be married to a new
partner while both are yet alive – Matt. 5:31-32,
19:9; Mark 10:11-12; Luke 16:18; Rom. 7:2-3;
Mal. 2:13-16; Gen. 2:18: Matt. 19:4-6.
HOLY COMMUNION OR THE LORD’S SUPPER
It is instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ shortly
before His death. He commanded all Christians
to gather together regularly to share the bread
and wine till He comes back again – Luke
22:17-20; Matt. 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; I Cor.
10:18, 21; Acts 2:42; 20:7; I Cor. 11:23-30.
THE CHURCH OF GOD
The born-again souls are called the Church of
God – Eph. 1:22; Col. 1:1-18; Eph 3:10; 5:24-29.
The assembly of the believers, the sanctified
souls in Christ Jesus, Those who we call the Holy
people of God – I Cor. 1:2; Acts 14:23; Phil. 4:15;
Acts 13:28. Therefore all that God has called to
gather together in a place and fed with the Word
of God – Acts 2:41-47; They accept Christ as the
head of the Church. They gather from time to
time to worship God in truth and Spirit to share
the bread and eat. Their major assignment is to
spread the Gospel of Christ to all Nations – Matt.
28:19.
THE DEDICATION OR SEPARATION
Dedication is very important for the children of
God for the Lord is Holy – John 17:19; I Peter
1:15-16. If we want god to be our Father, we
must separate and dedicate ourselves unto God
– II Cor. 6:17-18. God called us unto Holiness – I
Thess. 4:7; Rom. 12:1-2.
THE DEDICATED CHRISTIAN
The dedicated Christian would avoid foolish
talking or jesting, Eph. 5:4. He or she would not
wear clothing of the opposite sex, Deut. 22:5.
Marriage would be esteemed honorable in all
respects in the life of the dedicated Christian,
and he or she would be a hearer as well as a doer
of the Word of God at all times.
THE DEAD IN CHRIST
We believe that a brother who sleeps in the Lord
is with Christ already – Phil. 1:21-23; I Cor. 5:1-9.
Paul said that it is better to come out of this flesh
and be with the Lord forever in our Heavenly
home. Further still he emphasizes that ” But I
would not have you to be ignorant brethren
concerning them which are asleep that ye sorrow
not even as there which have no hope” I Thess.
4:13-18. Therefore all members should separate
themselves form the things of this world in
worshiping the dead by which we become
idolaters – Deut 14:1.
RESURRECTION
We experience daily the resurrection of the
Spirit, all the born-again souls who are passed
from death to life – Eph. 6:14; Rom 6:11; John
5:20. As this body is dissolved, immediately we
are entering into our Heavenly Home or house
not made with hands eternal in the Heavens – I
Cor. 5:1-8 There is resurrection of the Body.
Jesus taught us plainly that the buried body will
be raised up from the tomb at the last day Job
5:28-29. Paul also explained this to us – Acts
24:15; I Cor. 15:22, 42-44; Phil. 3:21; Dan. 12:2.
Only Holy people will be at the resurrection those
who belong to Jesus when He appears; but the
sinners shall resurrect in hell, a place where
people whose names are not found in the Lamb’s
Book – Rev. 20:4-5; John 5:28-29; Rev. 20:12-15.
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
The Second coming of Jesus Christ will be in
physical form and will be visible to all in like
manner as He was seen ascending up to heavens
– Acts 1:9-11; John 14:3. His return will be in two
stages: A. Christ’s return in the sky – The Saints
or Bride of Christ will be raptured to meet Christ
in the sky – I Thess. 4:15-17; I Cor. 15:51-52;
Matt. 24:40-44; Matt 25:10 B. His return to the
earth – He will return to the earth to judge the
sinners and the ungodly – Rev. 19:19-21; II
Thess. 1:7-10; Jude 1:14-15; Zech. 14:3-4.
THE TRIBULATION PERIOD
The time between His coming to receive the
brides or saints into heaven and His coming to
administer judgments will be the time of
Tribulation – Matt 24:21; 22:29; Rev. 9; Rev. 16;
Is. 26:20-21; Mark 13:19; Jer. 30:7; Daniel 12:1;
Malachi 4:1.
THE MILLENNIAL REIGN (CHRIST 1,000
YEARS’ REIGN)
After Christ appears upon earth, He would set up
His Kingdom with the Holy people for one
thousand years – Rev. 20:1-6; Rev. 2:26-27. This
one thousand years will be entirely different from
any kingdom ever set on earth. The Kingdom is
peace all over – Is 65:18-20. There will be no
death – Is. 65:18-20. There will be no poverty –
Mich. 4:4; Is. 65:21-23; Christ is the ONLY KING
in the Kingdom – Dan. 2:44-45; Dan.
7:13,14,22,27.
SATAN IN PRISON
At this time – millennium, Satan will be chained
– Rev. 20:2-3, and it will be the time of peace
and blessing to mankind also – Is. 11:6-9; 65:25;
Hosea 2:18; Zech 14:9-20; Is 2:2-4.
THE COMING JUDGEMENTS
We believe that there will be three special
judgements. i) The Judgement of the Believers:
This would start immediately believers are
caught up in the sky, they shall stand before
Christ. After this judgment they will descend
down with Christ upon the earth – II Cor. 5:10; I
Cor. 3:3; 11-15; James 1:12; Rom 2:16. ii) The
Judgement of the Nation: This will be the time
when Jesus appears upon earth between the
millennial reign and final judgement. Acts 17:31;
Joel 3:2; Ez. 14:15; Jud. 1:14-15; II Thess 1:7-10;
Rom 2:16; Rev. 1:7; Mal. 16:21. iii) The
Judgement of the Unbelievers: or the White
Throne Judgement : This will happen after
Christ’s one thousand years reign at the White
Throne. – Rev. 20:11-15; II Peter 3:7; Dan. 12:2.
NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH
The Word of God teaches us that after
judgement, this wicked world will be removed.
God will create a new Heaven and a new earth in
which HOLINESS will exist – Matt. 24:35; II Peter
3:12-13; Rev. 21:1-3; Is. 65:17:; 66:22
ETERNAL LIFE AND ETERNAL PUNISHMENT
The Bible teaches us that there is eternal
punishment as well as eternal life – Matt. 25:46.
The wicked people will be sent to a fiery hell
made of sulphur, to be tormented both day and
night. The punishment will continue forever and
ever – Rev. 14:10-11; Luke. 16:24; Mark 9:43-44.
DEDICATION OF CHILDREN
We believe that after a child is born on the 8th
day, the parent should bring himher unto the
House of the Lord for dedication unto the Lord – 1
Sam. 1:22; Luke. 22:22-24; Matt. 19:13-15.
THE LORD’S DAY
We believe that the first day of the week called
Sunday is a special day which the believers
should separate as the Lord’s day during which
time are to gather to worship – Acts 20:7; 1Cor.
16:2; Rev. 1:10. The Lord resurrected on the first
day of the week – Mark 16:9; Ezek. 31:12-14.
