14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.

John 16:13-14 NIV

1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.  2  You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.  3  Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. 4  There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.  5  There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.  6  There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7  Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.  8  To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,  9  to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,  10  to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, [a]  and to still another the interpretation of tongues. [b]  11  All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

1 Corinthians 12:1-11 NIV

We believe in the baptism of The Holy Spirit. He is a fulfilled promise from God for every believer and is for today. Speaking in tongues, as The Holy Spirit gives utterance, is a physical indication of the baptism of The Holy Spirit.

38  Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  39  The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

Acts 2:38-39 NIV

4  Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”  5  On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.  6  When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues [a]  and prophesied.

Acts 19:4-6 NIV

We Receive Communion to remember Jesus’s sacrifice when He died on the cross and to celebrate His resurrection power.

19  And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20  In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

Luke 22:19-20 NIV

23  For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,  24  and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”  25  In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”  26  For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 27  So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.  28  Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.

1 Corinthians 11:23-28 NIV

We believe in healing, signs, and wonders revealing the power and glory of God. This is also what The Holy Spirit does as He transfers Jesus’s ministry and continues His ministry in every Spirit Filled believers life.

John 14:12-14 NIV

We believe in God’s plan for each of His followers. They are specific to their God given gifts and purpose to love God in obedience.

11  For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

7  A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.  8  To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice [a] ; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. [b] 9 The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. 10 He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, [c]  while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. 11 It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.
