WE BELIEVE
|
|
In the verbal inspiration of the
scriptures, both Old and New testaments. |
|
|
Our God is a Trinity
in unity, manifested in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost. |
|
|
In the deity of our
Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His
miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death on the cross, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His
personal return to power and glory. |
|
|
That regeneration by
the Holy Ghost for the salvation of lost and sinful man, through faith in
the shed blood of Christ, is absolutely essential. |
|
|
In a life of holiness,
without which no man can see the Lord, through sanctification as a
definite, yet progressive, work of grace. |
|
|
In the Baptism of the
Holy Ghost, received subsequent to the new birth, with the speaking in
tongues, as the Spirit gives utterance, as the initial physical sign. |
|
|
In water baptism by
immersion for believers only, which is a direct commandment of our Lord,
in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. |
|
|
In the Lord's supper
and washing of the saints' feet. |
|
|
That divine healing is
provided for in the atonement, and is available to all who truly believe. |
|
|
In the premillinnial
second coming of Jesus: first, to resurrect the righteous dead and to
catch away the living saints to meet Him in the air; and, second, to reign
on the earth for a thousand years. |
|
|
In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost: that
they are saved unto the resurrection of life, and that they are lost to
the resurrection of damnation. |
