It is essential that we never lose sight of the fact that our faith is not simply a list of statements about us or our Church. Our faith is based on a relationship — a relationship with Jesus Christ. This provides the basis for a relationship with each other. This should always be the foundation of our understanding of the Christian identity. Once we understand this, then we can use the statements below to describe this relationship.
We believe:
• That there is only one Almighty God: The Father. (1 Corinthians 8:6)
• That Jesus had a pre-human existence as the Logos, God’s Only Begotten Son. (John 1:1 & 14)
• That Jesus was miraculously conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit and born flesh. (Luke 1:35)
• That Jesus was raised from the grave, at which time the Father endued him with all power and authority in heaven and earth. (Matthew 28:18)
• That Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life and there is no other name by which man can be saved. (Acts 4:12; John 14:6)
• That salvation is by grace and God’s works of faith, and not by works of law or self. (Eph 2:8-10).
• That Jesus paid the price for all men and will bring all to opportunity to eternal life through their own Judgment day, their day of sanctification. (1 Timothy 2:5-6)
• That the Judgment day for all will include a time of “learning righteousness” and for developing perfect sanctification; the “righteousness of God.” (Isaiah 26:9)
• That God is presently selecting a Bride for His Son. Those who make their "calling and election sure" (their Judgment day), will be raised in the “first resurrection.” (John 5:29a)
• That those raised in the first resurrection, become joint heirs with Christ to rule in his future earthly Millennial Kingdom. (Revelation 20:4 & 6)
• That Jesus will bring back all the rest of mankind in the second resurrection for their Judgment day in the future Millennial Age. (John 5:29b)
• That the Bible is the inspired Word of God and should be studied contextually as well as topically. The Bible is the final authority for Christians. (2Timothy 3:16-17)
• That it is the Holy Spirit of God that leads us into all truth. (John 16:13)
• That individual congregations, (ecclesia's), make their own decisions as led by the Holy Spirit.
• That the door to the “high calling” (the bride of Christ) is open during the present Gospel Age till the Millennial Age begins.
• Being baptized is required to show one’s public declaration before their brethren of their acceptance of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior; and that they have made a firm decision to follow Him, offering their bodies as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1, 2) unto death with Christ, that they might be resurrected in His likeness (Romans 6:3-5)
• That the great work of this Gospel Age for all disciples of Christ is:
1) their own sanctification (perfection) by complete faithfulness to God in all the providences through which he leads us to His perfect will.
2) our being faithful servants in evangelizing (preaching the Gospel; the Good News) to all the willing of mankind, and in discipling (helping to bring to full obedience and spiritual maturity and responsibility) all followers of Christ.
