We believe
that Jesus' blood was shed for the
remission of our sins (Roman3;5), the
regeneration of penitent sinners, and salvation from sin and sinners.
(1 John 5:10, Eph. 1:1-10)
We further believe that
Jesus' blood was shed for sin, and that Christ dwells in the heart and mind of the justified
believers completely cleanse him from all indwelling sin, and from its pollution
subsequent to regenerate.
(Romans 3:24-28.)
We believe that entire sanctification is an
instantaneous, definite, second work of grace obtainable by faith on the
part of the full consecrated believer.
We also believe that the entire sanctification
destroys and eradicates the desire to sin.
(Romans 6:6, Hebrews 13:12; 1John 1:29;
St. John 17:17-19; Isaiah 6:18; Thessalonians 5: 23; Acts 26:18; Romans 3:24-26;
Ephesians 4:5).
We believe that the baptism of the Holy Ghost and
fire is obtainable by a definite appropriation of faith on the part of the fully
cleaned believer. (Matthew 3:11). The experience of fire is dependent on the Holy
Ghost. We believe in one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism as recorded in
Ephesians 4:5, for the divine baptism of God is two fold with the Holy Ghost
and fire.
We believe in divine healing of the total
person as the atonement
(Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:16-18; James 5: 15-20; Luke
11:14).
We believe in the second coming of Christ,
individuals becoming aware of the Christ as a continuous development that leads
to or into perfection,
according to the revealed light of the scriptures.
(St.
John 14:19, 1John 4: 1-8; Revelation 14:6; II Corinthians 5:16; Matthew
5: 48.)
Triumph The Church And Kingdom Of
God In Christ is utterly oppose to all doctrine that is contrary to God's written and revealed
word
as it relates to the basis of union.
All members of Triumph the
Church and Kingdom of God in Christ are granted the authority to worship God
according to the dictation of their consciousness, within the everlasting gospel
subject to the regulation of the church and the kingdom.
THE REVELATION
Triumph The Church And
Kingdom Of God In Christ was revealed to Elias Dempsey Smith in
1897. Elder Smith a Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church,
who had fulfilled his aspirations of its curriculum, sought a deeper
truth. His inner soul longed for something, he knew not what.
He was lead by the Spirit of God to re-read the Holy Bible, namely the
books of Isaiah, Revelations, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Daniel. Many
new interpretations, revelations and visions were given on these
scriptures. It was during a trip across the Mississippi river in a
row boat that a strange phenomenon happened; Triumph was birthed!
The first church was organized
in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 20, 1902. The doors
officially opened at 12 o'clock noon, January 20, 1904. Since 1897, the
church
has spread throughout the
United States and West Africa.
JACKSON'S CHURCH
In the early 1940's, Elder Jack Johnson, the first shepherd, purchased a lot at 1775
Booker street for the building of Jackson's church. There were approximately ten
members that had joined the Triumph Church organization; they held services in
Pearl, Mississippi.
In 1945 Jackson's Triumph Church was built at 1775 Booker
Street, under the leadership of Elder Jack Johnson, the Shepherd, and Elder Percy
Gibson, a gifted carpenter, along with the managers and supporters. The congregation
moved from Pearl, Mississippi to Jackson, Mississippi.
In the late 50's, the church at 1775 Booker Street was
completely renovated by Elder Percy Gibson, who was then the Shepherd. The old
building was turned on the back side of the lot and used a dining area,
Shepherd's office, and bathrooms for the men and women. A new sanctuary was
beautifully constructed on the front of the old lot. The new sanctuary had a
seating capacity of approximately 125 people.
The Triumphant Saints worshiped at this location approximately
forty-one years. During this time several improvements were made to the church.
Another Revelation
In 1985 the Lord revealed to Elder Moses Gibson, the
Shepherd,
"it was time to move." In 1986 the membership moved to its present
location at 5302 Queen Mary Lane.
The first service in the new sanctuary was held
January 1,
1986.
Since moving to the new location, the Lord has blessed tremendously. The membership has grown
physically and spiritually. Many facilities have been added. Because of the many blessings the Lord
has bestowed upon the saints since moving, our current location is often referred to as the
"blessed corner."
