We Believe there is one living and true God, everlasting, of infinite power, wisdom and goodness; are
three Persons of one substance of eternal being, and equal in holiness, justice, wisdom, power, and
dignity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
We Believe that the Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance
with the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the blessed virgin; so that two whole and perfect
natures, that is to say, the Godhead and the manhood were joined together in one Person, never to be
divided, whereof is one Christ, very God and perfect man, who actually suffered, was crucified, dead,
and buried, to reconcile the Father to us, and to make atonement, not only for our actual guilt, but also
for original sin.
We Believe that Christ did truly rise again from the dead, and took again His body, with all things
appertaining to the perfections of man's nature, and ascended into heaven and there sits until He shall
return to judge all men at the last day.
We Believe that the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty
and glory with the Father and the Son, very and eternal God.
We Believe in the verbal and plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, known as the Bible,
composed of sixty-six books and divided into two departments, Old and New Testaments. We believe
the Bible is the Word of God, the full and complete revelation of the plan and history of redemption.
We Believe that eternal life with God in heaven is a portion of the reward of the finally righteous; and
that everlasting banishment from the presence of the Lord and unending torture in hell are the wages of
the persistently wicked (Matthew 25:46; Psalm 9:17; Revelation 21:7,8).
We Believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood for the remission of sins that are past, for the regeneration
of penitent sinners, and for salvation from sin and from sinning (Romans 3:25; I John 3:5-10; Ephesians
2:1-10).
We Believe, teach and firmly maintain the scriptural doctrine of justification by faith alone (Romans
5:1).
We Believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood for the complete cleansing of the justified believer from
all indwelling sin and from its pollution, subsequent to regeneration (I John 1:7-9).
We believe in sanctification. While sanctification is initiated in regeneration and consummated in
glorification, we believe it includes a definite, instantaneous work of grace achieved by faith subsequent
to regeneration (Acts 26:18; I John 1:9). Sanctification delivers from the power and dominion of sin. It
is followed by lifelong growth in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2
Corinthians 4:16; 2 Peter 3:18).
We Believe that the Pentecostal baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire is obtainable by a definite act of
appropriating faith on the part of the fully cleansed believer, and the initial evidence of the reception of
this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Luke 11:13; Acts 1:5; 2:1-4;
8:17; 10:44-46; 19:6).
We Believe in divine healing as in the atonement (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16, 17; Mark 16:14-18;
James 5:14-16; Exodus 15:26).
We Believe in the imminent, personal, premillennial second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (I
Thessalonians 4:15-17: Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 3:10-14; Matthew 24:29-44), and love and wait for His
appearing (2 Timothy 4:8).
We Believe it is the responsibility of every believer to dedicate his life to carrying out the work of the
Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16-20; Acts 1:8).
