DECLARATION OF FAITH
We Believe
- In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
- In one God who exists eternally in three persons, who are: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- That Jesus Christ is the only Son of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. That he was crucified, buried, and rose from the dead.
- Who ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor.
- That all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; that repentance is commanded of God for all and is necessary for the forgiveness of sins.
- That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are effected by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
- In sanctification, subsequent to the new birth, by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, through the Word of God, and by the Holy Spirit.
- That holiness is God’s standard of life for his people.
- In the baptism in the Holy Spirit, subsequent to the cleansing of the heart.
- In speaking in other tongues, as the Holy Spirit directs the person, which is initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
- In water baptism by immersion, and that all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- That divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
- At the Lord’s Supper and the washing of the saints’ feet.
- In the premillennial second coming of Jesus: first, to resurrect the righteous dead and catch up the living saints to Him in the air; second, to reign on earth for a thousand years.
- In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the saints and eternal punishment for the wicked.
