Our Declaration of Faith

We Believe

Dec-06-2002

	In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
	In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
	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.
	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.
	That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
	In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
	Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people.
	In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
	In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
	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.
	Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
	In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
	In the premillennial 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.
	In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

Practical Commitments:

The Church of God's Practical Commitments offer scriptural guidelines for practical Christian living.

SPIRITUAL EXAMPLE
We will demonstrate our commitment to Christ through our practice of the spiritual disciplines; we will demonstrate our commitment to the body of Christ through our loyalty to God and commitment to His church; and we will demonstrate our commitment to the work of Christ through our being good stewards.

MORAL PURITY
We will engage in those activities which glorify God in our body and which avoid the fulfillment of the lust of the flesh. We will read, watch and listen to those things which are of positive benefit to our spiritual well-being.

PERSONAL INTEGRITY
We will live in a manner that inspires trust and confidence, bearing the fruit of the Spirit and seeking to manifest the character of Christ in all our behavior.

FAMILY RESPONSIBLILITY
We will give priority to fulfilling family responsibilities, to preserving the sanctity of marriage and to maintaining divine order in the home.

BEHAVIORAL TEMPERANCE
We will practice temperance in behavior and will abstain from activities and attitudes which are offensive to our fellowman or which lead to addiction or enslavement.

MODEST APPERANCE
We will demonstrate the scriptural principle of modesty by appearing and dressing in a manner that will enhance our Christian testimony and will avoid pride, elaborateness or sensuality.

SOCIAL OBLIGATION
It should be our objective to fulfill our obligations to society by being good citizens, by correcting social injustices, and by protecting the sanctity of life.
