WE
BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER,
an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love; that
He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers
prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus
Christ.
WE
BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST,
God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin
birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings; His substitutionary atoning death,
bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His
people, and personal visible return to earth.
WE
BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT,
who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin,
righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for
ministry all who believe in Christ; we believe the Holy Spirit indwells every
believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all
the biblical gifts of the Spirit.
WE
BELIEVE
that all men are sinners by nature and choice and, therefore, under
condemnation; that God regenerates by the Holy Spirit those who repent of their
sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord, that Jesus Christ baptizes (empowers,
fills or controls [Luke 24:49]) the seeking believer with the Holy Spirit and
power for service, often subsequent to regeneration.
WE
BELIEVE
in the universal church, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the Head
and all regenerated persons are members (Eph. 4:5).
WE
BELIEVE
in the personal visible return of Christ to earth and the establishment of His
Kingdom; in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and blessing of the
righteous, and the endless suffering of the wicked.
