1. They believe that Rev. Arsenio T. Ferriol is God's sent living apostle for our time.
2. They believe that an end-time mystery was revealed only to their living apostle. They call that revealed mystery as the fourth watch citing Mark  4:11 and 13:35, they say we are now living in the fourth watch.
3. Since they have the living Apostle...
   1. They belong to the one true Church, that is, the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch).
   2. They preach the gospel that saves; the rest can preach it but they do not have a message that saves.
   3. They have the correct and the authoritative teaching and understanding of the Scriptures. In their "authoritative" understanding of the Scriptures they teach...
   1. The Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God but not a Trinity.
   2. The Personality of the Holy Spirit and the divinity and sinless humanity of Christ but they also teach that during incarnation Christ took off his form of God (kenosis heresy).
   3. Baptism by immersion is one of the prerequisites to salvation or to being born again (baptismal regenerationism error) which happens after repentance which happens after belief.
   4. The authorized baptism is administered only by the living Apostle or by his ordained ministers called, "mga sugo".
   5. To remain saved, one has to keep good standing with God through various 4th Watch activities.
4. They consider "public offering" as one of the signs of a true Church. They preach in crowded streets and inside the buses while at the same time pass around envelops or collection bag for money.
