Declaration of Faith

The Church of God believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God.  The Church of God has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine.

We Believe:

bullet

In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.

bullet

In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

bullet

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.

bullet

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.

bullet

That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

bullet

In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.

bullet

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

bullet

In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.

bullet

In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

bullet

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.

bullet

Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.

bullet

In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.

bullet

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.

bullet

In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
