Dr. Tobey and Rev. Robin Montgomery Pastor Tobey Montgomery was born on July 15, 1962. He is a third-generation Pentecostal believer through his maternal grandfather and the paternal grandson of a Baptist country preacher. Although raised from infancy in a Christian home and even sensing a call to preach at the age of nine, he came to a personal experience of salvation during revival services at the Church of God in Riverside, California, in 1973. Soon thereafter, he was gripped by the calling to reach souls and began to preach The Gospel at age 17. |

- That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.

- In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.

- In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to clean heart.
- In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
- In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
- Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
- In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
- In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
- In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
