The United House of Prayer for All People is Apostolic in doctrine. Its creed establishes its basic principles as believing in Jesus Christ and his death on the cross so that humanity could have life, water baptism for the repentance of sin, that to be saved one must be born again of the Holy Spirit, and that one leader is the Divine ruler of the Kingdom of God. The United House of Prayer for All People’s sacred text is the Holy Bible.
The first portion of the name is derived from Isaiah 56:7 where God says: “Mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.” (This is also found in Matthew 21:13, Mark 11:17, and Luke 19:46). The latter part is taken from “Acts 4:10–12 and Ephesians 2:20, which discusses Christian salvation as being built on a figurative cornerstone, or rock,” which “is believed to be the teachings of Jesus Christ as preached by the Apostle Peter.”
The United House of Prayer for All People believes that the word Church means a group of Christians who are believers and worshippers in Christ and that the modern definition of church as a building, denomination, or institution is unbiblical according to the writings of the Holy Scriptures as recorded in Acts 9:31.” Therefore, the United House of Prayer does not see itself as a denomination.
