God the Father
There is one living and true God, infinite in glory,
wisdom, holiness, justice, power, and love. He is the Creator and
Preserver of all things visible and invisible; one in His essence, but
eternally subsisting in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God the Son
Jesus the Christ is the eternal Son of God. He is co-equal
with the Father and with the Holy Spirit. He was conceived by the Holy
Spirit. He was born of the virgin Mary. He poured out His blood for
the sins of the world; He died and rose the third day; and He is
ascended into heaven and seated at the right hand of God the Father.
God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the
Son; He applies salvation, guides and comforts the children of God,
directs and empowers the church in fulfillment of the great commission,
and convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment.
Man
Man was created by God in God's own image, in a state of original
righteousness, but by voluntary transgression man fell, and as a
consequence is guilty. His only hope of redemption is in Jesus, the Son
of God.
Salvation
Salvation consists of the remission of sins, the imputation
of Jesus' righteousness, the gift of eternal life. It is the plan of
God, received through repentance and faith alone, apart from human works
or merit.
Baptism and Gifts of the Holy Spirit
The scriptures teach that the
Baptism and the gifts of the Spirit are for the church today. We believe
that the gifts and miracles will operate in the church by the Holy
Spirit.
Healing
As the gifts of the Holy Spirit operate in the church, God's desire to heal the spirit and body is made evident. The healing ministry of Jesus Christ is as real today as it always has been.
