Declaration of Faith
We believe
In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely the Father, Son and Holy
Ghost.
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy
Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried and raised
from the dead. That he ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the
Father as the Intercessor.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is
commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
That justification, regeneration and the new birth are wrought by faith in the
blood of Jesus Christ.
In Sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of
Christ; through the Word and by the Holy Ghost.
Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people.
In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the
initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name
of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Divine healing is provided for all in the Atonement.
In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous
dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on
the earth a thousand years.
In the bodily resurrection: eternal life for the righteous and eternal
punishment for the wicked.
