Statement Of Faith
I believe that:
- The Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God, given by the Holy Spirit.
- The One God is the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three Persons in one.
- Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, conceived by the Holy Spirit. He was crucified, died, buried, and rose again on the third day. He ascended to Heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our Lord, Savior, and Mediator.
- All human beings have sinned and lost the glory of God, and they must repent and turn to God to receive forgiveness of sins.
- Justification and new birth occur through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, worked by the Holy Spirit.
- Every repentant person should be baptized by immersion in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, which is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Sanctification is the result of the new birth through belief in the blood of Jesus Christ, accomplished by the power of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. Therefore, holiness is a principle and lifestyle of Christians.
- The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God for all those who have purified their hearts; the initial sign of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues as inspired by the Holy Spirit.
- The Holy Communion is observed regularly to strengthen our fellowship with the Lord and with one another.
- Divine healing is available through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus for all who believe.
- The Lord Jesus Christ will descend from Heaven to raise all His dead followers and take up all His living followers to meet Him in the air. Then, He will come back with His saints to establish the Thousand-Year Kingdom on this earth.
- In the end, all the dead will be resurrected. The righteous will rise in the first resurrection and receive eternal life, but the wicked will rise in the second resurrection and receive eternal punishment.
