We believe:
In the verbal inspiration of the Word of God;
In God eternally existing in three persons, namely the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost;
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary;
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and is necessary for forgiveness of sins;
That justification, regeneration and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Christ, through the Word and the Holy Ghost;
That holiness is God’s standard of living for his people; That the baptism with the Holy Ghost is subsequent to a clean heart;
In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, this is the evidence of the Holy Spirit;
In water baptism by immersion; and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost;
In divine healing which is provided for all in the atonement;
In the Lord’s Supper and the washing of the saints feet;
In the 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 for one thousand years;
In the bodily resurrection, eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.
