What 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 of 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.
- In dressing in modest apparel
according to I Timothy 2:9-10 and I Corinthians 11:14-15;
and also Deuteronomy 22:5.
