Doctrine

What We Believe

First Apostolic Church of Little Rock is Apostolic in doctrine. Pentecostal in experience. We believe in the Oneness of God and hold to the apostles’ doctrine as is outlined in the Holy Scriptures — One Lord. One Faith. One Baptism.

Our vision

At the First Apostolic Church of Little Rock, our vision is to be a revival-centered, community-focused beacon of God’s kingdom, passionately advancing His truth through fervent prayer, transformative outreach, intentional discipleship, and immersive Bible study. Rooted in the Apostles’ doctrine, we embrace our Pentecostal heritage, living out a vibrant, holiness-driven faith that glorifies God and impacts our community for eternity.

There is one God, whose name is Jesus. We obey the gospel by repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues.

01

II Timothy 3:15–17

The Bible

The Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God and the only God-given authority for salvation and Christian living. All doctrine, faith, hope, and instruction for the church must be based upon and harmonize with the Scriptures.

02

Deuteronomy 6:4 · Colossians 2:9 · I Timothy 3:16

The Oneness of God

There is one God, who has revealed Himself as Father in creation; through His Son, in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit, by emanation. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. We do not teach three distinct persons in the Godhead, but one God whose name is revealed in Jesus.

03

Romans 3:23–25 · Ephesians 2:8–9

Sin and Salvation

Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith, based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is the gift of God—not of works, lest any man should boast.

04

Acts 2:38 · I Corinthians 15:1–4 · John 3:5

The Gospel and New Birth

The saving gospel is that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (burial), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection).

05

Acts 2:4, 37–39 · Romans 6:3–4

Fundamental Doctrine

The Bible standard of full salvation is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.

06

Hebrews 12:14 · II Corinthians 6:17 · II Corinthians 7:1

Christian Living

As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, worship God joyfully, and separate ourselves from the spirit of the world. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today.

07

Acts 2:42–47 · Ephesians 4:4–6

The Church

The church is the body of Christ, a called-out people who continue steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers. There is one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all.

08

I Thessalonians 4:16–17 · Revelation 22:12

The Coming of the Lord

Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death.
