OUR BELIEFS


            DECLARATION OF FAITH

WE BELIEVE:

1. )   In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.

2.)   In one God eternally existing in three persons:

       namely, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

3.)   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.

4.)   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 of sins.

5.)   That justification, regeneration, and the new birth

       are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

6.)   In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, 

       through faith in the blood of Christ; through the

       Word, and by the Holy Ghost.

7.)    Holiness to be God's standard of living for His

       people.

8.)   In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to

       a clean heart.

9.)   In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives

       utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the

       baptism of the Holy Ghost.

10.)  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.

11.)   Divine healing is provided for all in the

       atonement.

12.)  In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' 

       feet.

13.)  In the pre-millennial 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 a thousand years.

14.)  In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the

       righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
