What are the Basic Beliefs of the Apostolic Doctrine? We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God. We believe the Scriptural account of the Creation; that Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, sinned and were driven fro the Garden of Eden with the curse of spiritual death upon them. Since God desired to have fellowship and love from the man He had created, he set forth in motion a plan for his redemption. This plan, through the dispensation of Law and types and shadows, eventuated in the dispensation of Grace and the coming to earth of Jesus Christ who was God incarnated. I Timothy 3:16, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
