We
believe:
|
|
|
- That there is
one God eternally existent in three persons; namely, the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Ghost
|
- That Lord Jesus
Christ is the only begotten son of the Father, conceived of the Holy
Ghost, and born of Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried and
raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is at the right
hand of the Father, as the intercessor
|
- That all have
sinned and that repentance is commanded by God and necessary for forgiveness
|
- That justification,
regeneration and 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
with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart
|
- In speaking in
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 that all who repent should be baptized in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
|
- That Christ’s
suffering on the cross provides divine healing in answer to believing
prayer and atonement
|
- In the Lord's
supper and washing of the saints' feet
|
- In the blessed
hope – the rapture of the Church at Christ’s second coming. First,
to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints
to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth for a thousand years
|
- In the bodily
resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting
life and the other to everlasting damnation
