DOCTRINES AND BELIEFS OF APOSTOLIC CATHOLIC CHURCH







The Doctrines and Beliefs of  Apostolic Catholic Church








1. THE WAY OF SALVATION
Eternal Salvation is merited, as promised by our Holy Redeemer, Jesus Christ, only through the condition of obedience to the teaching of the Gospel, which requires FAITH, CHARITY and HOPE, and due observance of the Messages of Mahal na Ingkong, God, the Holy Spirit.

2. THE CREED
The basis of the Church's beliefs is the Nicene Creed, which affirms the Divinity of the Triune God. And the Mystical Body of Christ, consisting of the Militant Church on earth, the Cleansing Church in the Purgatory, and the Triumphant Church in Heaven.

3. THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS
The Apostolic Catholic Church (ACC) observes the Seven Sacraments as the fundamental ordinance of the Gospel. The first two which are called the Sacraments of the Dead (consisting of the Sacraments of Baptism and of Confession) omit one's sins. While the other remaining five, which is called the Sacraments of the Living (consisting of the Sacraments of Matrimony, of Holy Orders, of Confirmation, of the Holy Eucharist and of Extreme Unction) maintain one's state in spiritual grace. The Apostolic Catholic Church's Sacrament of Holy Orders (Diaconate, Presbyterate, and Episcopate), follows the apostolic tradition of having married as well as celibate clerics, which tradition emanated from the Old Catholic and Orthodox Teachings. The Apostolic Catholic Church values greatly the essence of receiving the Holy Eucharist in every Sacrifice of the Mass.

4. MARIAN DEVOTION AND MARIOLOGY
The Apostolic Catholic Church celebrates different Marian Feasts, like the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 8, the Feast of Lourdes on February 11, and most specially the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, which is preceded by a grand procession of great Marian Images. The Church believes that the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mediatrix of all Graces between Our Lord God, Jesus Christ and mankind. The Apostolic Catholic Church promotes different Marian devotions, and the daily recitation of the fifteen decades of the Holy Rosary, complete with the Litany and the singing of SALVE REGINA and the recitation of the ANGELUS.

The Church believes in the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The Church accepts the Messages of the Blessed Mother in Her Major Apparitions. The Church promotes Block Rosary, as headed by its members or sealed servants. The Church reveres the Blessed Mary so much so that it uses the Marian salutation of "AVE MARIA PURISSIMA, CIN PECADO CON SUVIDA."
