Statement of Faith
We believe:
1. In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
2. In a God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Who was crucified, buried and resurrected from the dead. Who ascended into heaven and is now at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor.
4. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and that repentance is ordained by God for all and necessary for the forgiveness of sins.
5. That justification, regeneration and new birth is done by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
6. In sanctification, subsequent to the new birth by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ through the Word and the Holy Spirit.
7. That holiness is the standard of living, God, for its people.
8. In the baptism with the Holy Spirit, subsequent to the cleaning of the heart.
9. To speak in other tongues as the Holy Spirit to guide the person, which is the initial evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit.
10. In baptism by immersion in water, and that all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
11. Divine health that is provided for all in atonement.
12. In the Lord's Supper and the washing of the feet of the saints.
13. Premilenial in the second coming of Christ. First, to resurrect and snatch the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on earth a thousand years.
14. In the bodily resurrection, eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.
