Declaration Of Faith
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.
- 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 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 saint's 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, reign on the earth a thousand years.
- The bodily resurrection: eternal life for the righteous, and
eternal punishment for the wicked.
Discussion of these truths is encouraged, however, discussion is
allowed as long as it is beneficial to the members of the list.
Argument or debate over these truths is strongly discouraged. Those
who do not hold to any or all of these doctrinal points may wish to
seek fellowship elsewhere.
