Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return to earth to judge the living and the dead. The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and is given to man for comfort and counsel. Eternal Life with God is the reward of those who accept the redemption of Jesus Christ. The Bible, consisting of sixty-six books, is the inspired Word of God and contains the complete plan of salvation as well as instruction for Godly living. The Pentecostal experience, as described in Acts 2, and all the gifts of the Holy Spirit described in I Corinthians are available for all believers today.
Sanctification is a complete, instantaneous second work of grace subsequent to salvation.
The school made several moves in its early years first to Atlanta, GA then to Columbia, SC and finally back to Greenville in 1905.

Amidst the moving and restructuring of the school, it endured several name changes as well. N.J. Holmes called it the Altamont Bible and Missionary Institute.
