Fundamental Pentecostalism is a structuring of beliefs based in primitive Christianity. These beliefs emphasize a direct personal relationship with God, including the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues, as seen on the day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:1- 4) These verses describe the descending of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and followers of Jesus Christ, culminating in the birth of the first church.

This forms the basic structure in which we believe all who profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, while acknowledging their sins, can be born again. This is accomplished through repentance (a decision to turn one's life toward God), followed by water baptism (full immersion) in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is the new birth of water and Spirit. (John 3:5; Acts 2:38)

Differing from any other forms of Christianity, we believe in the wholly accurate scripture called the Bible in its original text, and give credence that interpretation is provided with the guidance of the Holy Spirit to translations of the scriptures, with corrections to those translations from the Hebrew and Greek texts.

Structuring of Fundamental Pentecostalism is a hybrid of both centralised and independent churches operating in a formal agreement of accountability to the elected officials of the denomination with positions being elected through submission to Dove Gospel - Multinational and subsequent multinational board of directors.
