DOCTRINES
Section 1
We believe in the Almighty God, the Father, the
Creator of the universe, in Christ Jesus, the
Father’s begotten son, a true and Mighty God, the
only savior of mankind and the only way to the
Kingdom of God in heaven ( Acts 14:15; I Cor. 8:5-7;
John 14:6; 14:1 ).
Section 2
We believe that only the Bible or the Holy
Scriptures, composed of 66 inspired books, teaches
the full wisdom of God for the salvation of man and
that no other books should be used as basis for
serving God and Christ Jesus ( Romans 1:16-17; 2:16;
Gal. 1:8-9; II Thes. 1:1-9; John 20:31; Isa. 34:16;
John 5:39 ).
Section 3
We believe that the God the Father sent His son
Jesus Christ, instrumental in the establishment of
the CHURCH OF GOD INTERNATIONAL, INC., the
congregation of the Apostles, Prophets, Teachers,
etc; first planted in the city of Jerusalem, and
later on scattered and preached by the Apostles in
different places of Asia Minor ( Matt. 16:18; Acts
8:1; Gal. 1:22; I Thes.2:14 ).
Section 4
We believe that the Gentile nations including the
Philippines, are partakers of the promise, the
ETERNAL LIFE, through belief in Christ Jesus and the
Gospel and are not authorized by God TO ESTABLISH
THEIR OWN CHURCH, but are mere members associated
with the same body or Church written in the Gospel
by accepting and executing the doctrines written by
the Apostles ( Ephe. 3:6; Col. 1:18; I John 2:25;
1:3-4; I Cor. 12:27; Psalm 127:1; I Tim. 3:15 ).
Section 5
We believe that God is calling His people with
determination to serve Him, bringing them in His
fold, teaching them righteousness after baptism for
their sins to be covered by the priceless blood of
Christ poured in Mount Calvary, for the redemption
of sin, to make them qualify for life eternal in
heaven ( I Cor. 1: 9,2; Ephe. 4:1,10,14; Acts 2:38;
Phil. 1:27; I Pet. 1:15-16; Ephe. 2:10; I Thes. 1:1
).
Section 6
We believe that Christ descended on earth from the
bosom of Father, suffered for the redemption of sin,
died in the cross, resurrected after three days,
ascended in heaven and sit on the right side of God.
Section 7
We believe that all Christian believers should
always attend the divine service executed by the
administrator of the members of the church or of the
congregation every first day of the week, wherein
they should sing hymns, hear sermons, offer prayers
and alms which is always voluntary according to his
faith ( Heb. 10:25; Acts 20:7; I Cor. 14:28: Acts
1:14; I Cor. 16:3; II Cor. 9:7-8, 12-13 ).
Section 8
We believe that the most important duty and
obligation of the members of the Church of God
International, INC. is to propagate the Gospel of
Christ on earth until the consummation of the ages,
for only the church can teach the wisdom of God for
the salvation of mankind (Luke 8:1-3; Ephe. 3:10; II
Tim 3:14-17 ).
