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 with 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 pre-millennial 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.
