| | death on the cross as an atoning, substitutionary sacrifice; and that our justification is made sure by His literal physical resurrection from the dead. We believe in the literal, personal, imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ a second time to earth.
5. We believe the Holy Spirit being the very and eternal God, of one substance and equal with the Father and the Son indwells every believer at the moment of salvation. He convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling, and sealing them unto the day of redemption.
6. We believe all men were created in the image of God but fell from fellowship with Him through sinful disobedience and are now under God’s condemnation, as lost sinners, separated from God.
7. We believe that salvation is received by a person, in repentance, putting his/her personal faith in Jesus Christ. We believe salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone.
8. We believe that every born again believer is the possessor of everlasting life and is kept by the power of God, and is thus secure in Christ forever.
9. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men. We believe that the souls of the believers are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection; at which time, the soul and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord.
10. We believe that the souls of the unbelievers remain, after death, in a conscious state of misery until the second resurrection. At that time, the soul and body are reunited. They shall then appear at the Great White Throne Judgment, and shall be cast in the Lake of Fire to suffer everlasting punishment.
