We believe that the whole Bible, the Old and New Testament, is completely and
equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. Also, we believe that God's
church consists of all born-again believers regardless of denominational affiliation,
gender, or nationality.
Therefore, we believe:
- In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
- In one God eternally existing in three persons: namely, the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit.
- That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy
Spirit, 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 the forgiveness of sins.
- That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are brought about 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 Spirit.
- Holiness is to be God's standard of living for His people.
- In speaking with other tongues, as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the
initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
- 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 Spirit.
- Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement of Jesus Christ.
- In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
- In the pre-millennial, second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous
dead and catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the
earth for a thousand years.
- In the bodily resurrection, eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment
for the wicked.
