SAINT CLOUD, FLORIDA

The ordinance of baptism by burial with Christ should be observed, as commanded in the Scriptures, by all who have really repented and their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they have the body washed in pure water as the outward symbol of cleansing, while their heart has already been washed with the blood of Christ in an inner cleansing. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19, Acts 10:47-48, Romans 6:4, Acts 20:21 , Hebrews 10:22) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The scriptures teach a life of holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. By the power of the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command, “Be ye holy, for I am holy.” Entire sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word. (Hebrews 12:14 , 1 Peter: 1: 15 -16, 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24). The church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of His great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the universal assembly and Church of the First-born, which was written in heaven. (Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:22 , Hebrews 12:23). A Divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a two-fold purpose: (a) the evangelism of the world and (b) the edifying of the body of Christ (Mark 16:15 -20, Ephesians 4:11 -13). Divine Healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the plan of redemption and is the privilege of all believers. (Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 8:16-17, 1 Peter 2:24, James 5:14-16, Mark 16:15-18, Acts 4:30 Matthew 10:8). A Church with a Mission and
