What We believe...
|
|
- In one God expressed in Scripture as three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
|
- That the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which were inspired by God and written through the personalities of people, contain all truth necessary for faith and Christian living.
|
- That human nature, from birth, is inclined to evil.
|
- That God became man in the person of Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, and that Jesus is both completely divine as well as completely human.
|
- That God's provision for forgiveness is for the entire human race; whoever confesses their sins to God, is willing to live by His directives as outlined in Scripture, and believes in the name of Jesus Christ will be given eternal life.
|
- That the Holy Spirit confirms this new eternal life.
|
- That believers can experience freedom from, and power over, their natural inclination to evil, through the filling of the Holy Spirit.
|
- That Christ will return to earth to bring all people before God in heaven where final judgment will take place.
|
- That those who know Jesus Christ personally will live with Him in heaven forever.
|
- In the sacrament of baptism and urge all believers to be baptized.
|
- In the sacrament of the Lord's Supper and that it is for all believers.
|
- That God heals, as the people of God pray for healing; that God works through medical science, and such treatment should not be refused.
