He is a third-generation Pentecostal believer through his maternal grandfather and the paternal grandson of a Baptist country preacher.

Soon thereafter, he was gripped by the calling to reach souls and began to preach The Gospel at age 17. |

- In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to clean heart.

- 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.
