Articles of Faith

1.  There is but one living and true God, the great Creator.
There are three persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost.  (Gen. 1:1-27; Matt. 28:19; 1 John 5:7)

2.  We believe the Holy Bible to be the incorruptible, inerrant,
inspired Word of God.  (2 Tim. 3:61; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

3.  We believe we are justified when we repent of our sins,
and believe in Jesus Christ.  (Mark 1:5; Acts 13:38-39; Roam. 5:1)

4.  We believe Sanctification to be a definite work of grace
sunsequent to salvation.  (John 15:2; 17:16-17; Eph. 5:25-27)

5.  We believe in the baptism with the Holy Ghost, and
speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance to be the initiatory
evidence of this experience.  (Acts 2:4; 19:6; 10:44-46)

6.  We believe in divine healing for the body.  We do
not condemn medical science.  (Acts 3:2-12; 5:15-16; 9:32-43
James 5:14)

7.  We believe every blessing we receive from God, including
Divine healing comes through the merits of the atonement.
(Rom 5:11; James 1:16-17)

8.  We believe in the operation of the nine Gifts of the
Spirit and encourage our people to live that these gifts may manifest
in their lives.  (1 Cor. 12:1-12)

9.  We believe in the imminent, personal, premillennial
second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  (Acts 1:10-11; 1 Thes. 4:13-
18; Rev. 1:7)

10.  We, as a church, believe in the eternal redemption of all
saints who are faithful to the end.  (Matt. 24:13; Rev. 2:10),
but we reject the theory of "once in grace always in grace."
Regardless of conduct.  (1 Cor. 10:12; Gal. 5:4)

11.  We believe all who die out of Christ will be punished
eternally, but those who die in Him shall share in His Glory forever.
(Dan. 12:2; Matt. 25:46; John 5:29; Jude 7)

12.  We believe the Bride of Christ is composed of the entire
spiritual church.  (1 Cor. 12:25; 2 Cor. 11:2; Gal. 3:28-29;
Eph. 4:16; 5:23-33; Revelation 19:7-8)

13.  We require all our ministers to speak the same thing and
that there be no division among us in doctrine concerning our Articles
of Faith.  (1 Cor. 1:10)
