Jesus
Christ shed His blood for the remission of sins that are past (Romans 3:25;
1John 1:7), for the regeneration of penitent sinners, and for salvation
from sin and from sinning (Ephesians 2:1-10; 1John 3:5-10).
-
We teach
and firmly maintain the scriptual doctrine of justification by faith alone
through the blood (Romans 3:24-25; Romans 5:6-9; Ephesians 1:7; Colossians
1:14).
-
that
Jesus Christ shed His blood for the complete cleansing of the justified
believer from all in dwelling sin and from its pollution subsequent to regeneration
(John 17:17; Acts 26:18; Romans 6:6; 1Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12;
1John 1:7-9).
-
that
sanctification is the second definite instananeous work of grace, obtainable
by faith on the part of the fully justified believer (Exodus 31:13; Leviticus
11:44-45; Leviticus 20:7-8; St. Luke 24:50-51; Hebrews 10:9-14).
-
that
the pentecostal baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire is obtainable by a definte
act of appropriating faith on the part of the wholly sanctified believer,
and that the initial evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking
with other tongues as the spirit gives utterance (Acts 1:5; Acts 2:1-4;
Acts 8:14-17; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6).
-
in devine
healing as in the atonement (Exodus 15:26; Psalm 103:3; Isaith 53:4-5; Matthew
8:16-17; Mark 16:14-15; Acts 8:7; James 5:14-15).
-
in the
imminent personal pre-millenial second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1Thessalonians
4:15-18; Titus 2:13; 2Peter 3:1-14; Matthew 24:20-24), and we love and await
for His appearing (2Timothy 4:8).

The Fire
Baptized Holiness Church of God of the Americas is utterly opposed to the
teachings of Christian Scientists, Mohammedism, Spiritualists, Unitarians,
Universalists, and Mormons. We deny as false the teachings of the Seventh
Day Adventists (Galatians 3:11; Colossians 2:16-17), Annihilation of the
Wicked, Conditional Immortality and Anti-nomianism, Absolute Perfection,
teaching against an organized church, the Resurrecton Life, the Redemption
of Glorification of the body in this life, and the doctrine of restitution
of all things as set forth in Millenial Dawnism, Jehovah Witness and the
false teaching that we are not born of God until we are sanctified wholly
(Mark 9:43-45; Revelation 20:10-14), Roman Catholicism (Matt. 17:5), the
belief systems and practices of the Occult, Sorcery (Exodus 20:3; Exodus
22:18; Leviticus 19:31; Leviticus 20:6, 27; Deuteronomy 18:10-13; Acts 8:9-24;
Acts 16:16-19; Galatians 5:20), Witchcraft (1Samuel 28:8-19; Micah 5:12),
Psychics, Psychic telephone lines, Numerology, so-called New Age practices
and the teaching of Jesus only (Matthew 28:19-20; 2John 7-11).
