WHAT WE BELIEVE

• THE SCRIPTURES - The Bible is the inspired Word of God.
• THE GODHEAD - Our God is one, but manifest in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION - Man is a created in the image and likeness of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world.
• ETERNAL LIFE AND THE NEW BIRTH - Man’s first step toward salvation is Godly sorrow that works repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced produces eternal life.
• WATER BAPTISM - Baptism in water by immersion is a direct commandment of our Lord, as an ordinance of the church it represents Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.
• THE LORD’S TABLE – The second ordinance of the church is the remembrance of the price Christ paid at Calvary by the elements of the bread and the cup.
• BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT - The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the New Birth.
• SANCTIFICATION - The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite yet progressive work of grace.
• DIVINE HEALING - Healing is for the physical ills of the human body that is wrought by the power of God and is provided for in the atonement of Christ.
• THE GREAT COMMISSION - The Bible commands us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to everyone as well as make disciples in every nation.
• THE RETURN OF OUR LORD - Jesus will come just as he ascended, in the clouds, catching up His believers.
• HELL AND ETERNAL RETRIBUTION - Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels, but will also be the eternal home of all those who reject Christ.
• THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE – Marriage should only be between one man and one woman as is the Biblical pattern since the garden.
• THE ASCENSION GIFTS OF CHRIST – Jesus Himself gave gifts to men upon His ascension. These gifts consist of: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers.
• THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – The Holy Spirit gives supernatural gifts to members of the Body of Christ who have received the Baptism Of The Holy Spirit. These nine gifts consist of: The Word Of Knowledge, The Word Of Wisdom, The Discerning Of Spirits, The Gifts Of Healing (s), The Working Of Miracles, The Gift Of (Special) Faith, Tongues, The Interpretation Of Tongues and Prophecy.

Being Recognized By Your Peers
Rev. Michael Fram

I remember back in 2011 while still functioning as a Prophet, I was on a weekend missions trip to Trinidad. I flew in on Friday, Preached twice on Saturday, Preached twice on Sunday, and flew home on Monday with hardly any voice (but that is another subject).

During that trip one of my Dad’s Spiritual Sons, my Spiritual Brother, Christopher Douglas prophesied to me that I was going to be changing functions or Ministry Gifts again. (in 2000 I began a transition from “Screaming Evangelist” to Prophet that took a few years to complete) He said as far as God was concerned He already saw me as an Apostle.

It would have been Great if the Word ended there...but alas it did not. Chris went on to say, you have to go through the Process, the Process, the Process, the Process, The Process...he said the word Process 5 times. This is significant because it took 5 years for that word to become a reality. 

I wasn’t commissioned as an Apostle till 2016, 5 years later. It took 1 year of process for each time Chris said the word process, before I was ready for the Transition from Prophet to Apostle. I know we all wish we could get a Prophetic Word today, and walk in it tomorrow, but it just does not work that way.

When I received that word, I knew better than to argue with God because I argued in 2000 regarding Evangelist to Prophet and lost. I was not not about to make that same mistake again. I did however offer God “A Deal”. I said: “When My Peers Recognize This, Then We Will Do Something About It, Until Then, Leave Me Alone About It.” To my surprise He answered with an abrupt one-word answer: “FINE”.


It was important to me that my Peers, those that I was in relationship with, recognized and saw the apostolic grace emerging in my life so that they could come into agreement with what God was doing in my life. Yet so many today, if you ask them who has Recognized the grace on their life, or who they are in Relationship with, they have no one to point to.


You may ask if there is a Biblical Precedent for being Recognized by your Peers, or is this just some sort of “Pet Peeve” that I have. I Am Glad You Asked!

• Acts 13 immediately comes to mind where Barnabas and Saul were separated by the other Prophets and Teachers in Antioch to the Work the Spirit had called them to.
• Acts 9 comes to mind where initially the Apostles in Jerusalem were leary of Paul, but Barnabas brought him to the Apostles and he was received which he later talks about being received by them in Galatians chapter 1.
• Timothy and Titus also come to mind because of how often Paul openly referred to both of them as his sons both in his epistles to the churches as well as in his epistles to them.

So is there a Biblical Precedent to be Recognized by one's Peers? I believe the answer is an emphatic YES! 

So why do we have so many “Lone Rangers” running all over the Country and all over Social Media as self-proclaimed Apostles or Prophets that are not recognized by anybody or in relationship with anybody.

If you are what you say you are, you should be able to point to folks in your life that are your peers. Folks that can verify your grace and calling. Folks that can vouch for your character. Folks that can do for you what Barnabas did for Paul in Jerusalem. If you don’t have that, just maybe: “You Are Not What You Profess To Be!” ~ Selah
