We believe that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God...there is one God, eternally existent in three persons : God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit... in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years...in the Blessed Hope...the rapture of the Church at Christ's coming...the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ...regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation...the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer...the baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it...in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life...in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.

Our pioneer fathers, already acquainted with evangelical truth, experienced the Pentecostal outpouring in the city of Hamilton in 1912, and in Toronto and Montreal a few years later.  They were led by the Holy Spirit to preach the full gospel of Jesus Christ to Italians in Canada. By the early 1920's, Italian speaking Pentecostal churches were established in several cities in Ontario and Quebec.  God mightily accompanied the preaching of these dedicated and fearless men, with signs and wonders and many joined the faith, in spite of intense opposition.

Salvation Through Jesus Christ

Salvation is deliverance from spiritual death and enslavement by sin. God provides salvation for all who believe and accept His free offer of forgiveness. Mankind’s only hope of redemption from the fallen sinful state is through the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son–blood that was shed as Jesus died on the cross. [The account of the crucifixion of Jesus is recounted by four of His contemporaries: Matthew (chapter 27), Mark (chapter 15), Luke (chapter 23), and John (chapter 19).]

(Luke 24:47; John 3:3,16,17; Rom. 8:16; 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8,9; 4:24; Titus 2:11-12; 3:5-7)

Divine Healing

Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

(Isa. 53:4,5; Matt. 8:16,17; James 5:14-16)

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

All believers are entitled to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and therefore should expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all believers in the early Christian church. With the experience comes the provision of power for victorious Christian living and productive service. It also provides believers with specific spiritual gifts for more effective ministry. The baptism of Christians in the Holy Spirit is accompanied by the initial physical sign of speaking in other tongues (unlearned languages) as the Spirit of God gives them audible expression.

(Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8; 2:4; 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9; 1 Cor. 12:1-31)

The Second Coming of Christ

All Christians who have died will one day rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air. Christians who have not yet died will be raptured or caught up with them, to be with the Lord. Then Christians of all ages will live with God forever. The scriptural truth of the Lord’s soon return is "the blessed hope".

(Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessa­lonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:13)
