Declaration of
our 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 of 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.
