STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Bible.  We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: namely, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.  We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary.  We believe that Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead.  We believe that he ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.

 

We believe 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.  We believe 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.  We believe that holiness is God's standard of living for His people.  We believe in baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. 

 

We believe in speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.  We believe 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.  We believe that divine healing is made available for all in atonement.

 

We believe in the Lord's supper and the second coming of Jesus Christ.  First, to resurrect the righteous who are dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air.  Second, to reign on the earth for a thousand years.

 

We believe in the bodily resurrection, eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
