What We Believe
At BAC, we are guided by the foundational principles of Oneness Apostolic doctrine. Our beliefs are rooted in the inspired Word of God, and we are committed to upholding these core truths:
- Oneness of God: We believe in the absolute oneness of God, who manifests Himself in three distinct roles: Father in creation, Son in redemption, and Holy Spirit in dwelling within believers. Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Colossians 2:9
- Salvation by Grace through Faith: We affirm that salvation is a gift from God, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not based on human merit but on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5
- Water Baptism in Jesus' Name: We practice baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, following the biblical example set in the Book of Acts. Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Acts 10:48
- Baptism of the Holy Spirit: We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as evidenced by speaking in tongues, empowering believers to live a victorious Christian life and to fulfill the Great Commission. Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4
- Holiness of Life: We emphasize the importance of holy living, separation from sin, and consecration to God's will, guided by the teachings of Scripture and empowered by the Holy Spirit. 1 Peter 1:15-16; Romans 6:22; Hebrews 12:14
- Divine Healing: We believe in the power of prayer and divine healing, trusting God's ability to restore physical, emotional, and spiritual wholeness according to His sovereign will. James 5:14-15; Psalm 103:2-3
- Second Coming of Christ: We anticipate the imminent return of Jesus Christ, where He will establish His kingdom and reign eternally with those who have embraced His salvation. Revelation 22:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
