What
We Believe... |
|
| • |
In
the verbal inspiration of the Bible. |
| |
|
| • |
In
one God eternally existing in three persons: the
Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. |
| |
|
| • |
Jesus
Christ is the only son of the Father, conceived
of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary;
Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and raised
from the dead. |
|
| • |
All
have sinned and come short of the glory of God; that
repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary
for forgiveness of sins. |
| |
|
| • |
Justification
[to be declared free of the guilt and penalty attached
to sin], regeneration [moral revival], and new birth
are obtained by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. |
|
| • |
All
who repent [feel remorse, contrition, self-reproach]
of their sin should be baptized with water through immersion
in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
|
|
| • |
Sanctification
[to be set apart for God’s use; to be made holy];
after the new birth through faith in the blood of Christ
through the Word by the Holy Spirit; that sanctification
is a continuing process of growth and maturity. |
|
| • |
Holiness
[living according to a strict or highly moral religious
or spiritual system] is God's standard for his people.
|
|
 |
| |
|
| • |
In
the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the initial evidence
being speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives
utterance. |
| |
|
| • |
Divine
healing is provided for all in the atonement [the renewing
close relationship between God and human beings brought
about by Jesus]. |
|
| • |
In
the pre-millennial [before the thousand years], second
coming of Jesus Christ – to resurrect the righteous
dead and to catch away the living believers to Him in
the air; Jesus Christ will return to the earth to rule
and reign the earth for a thousand years. |
|
| |
 |
|
• |
In
the bodily resurrection to eternal life for the
righteous, and to eternal punishment for the wicked.
|
| |
| • |
It
is the responsibility of every believer to dedicate
his or her life to carrying out the Great Commission
to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. |
