IV. The Plan of Redemption
We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, the just for the unjust; freely, and
by divine appointment of the Father, taking the sinner’s place, bearing his sins, receiving his
condemnation, dying his death, fully paying his penalty, and signing with His life’s blood, the
pardon of everyone who should believe upon Him; that upon simple faith and acceptance of the
atonement purchased on Mount Calvary, the vilest sinner may be cleansed of his iniquities and
made whiter than the driven snow.

V . Salvation Through Grace
We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly through grace; that we have no righteousness
or goodness of our own wherewith to seek divine favor, and must come, therefore, throwing
ourselves upon the unfailing mercy and life of Him who bought us and washed us in His blood,
pleading the merits and righteousness of Christ the Savior, standing upon His word and accepting
the free gifts of His love and pardon.

VI. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the incoming of the promised Comforter in
might and glorious fullness to endue the believer with power from on high and thus enable him
for purposes: to glorify and exalt the Lord Jesus; to give inspired utterance in witness of Him; to
foster the spirit of prayer, holiness, sobriety; to equip the individual and the Church for practical,
efficient, joyous, Spirit-filled soul –winning in the fields of life. We believe that this being the
dispensation of the Holy Spirit, the believer may have every reason to expect His incoming to
be after the same manner as that in which He came upon Jew and Gentile alike in Bible days,
and as recorded in the Word.

VII. The Second Coming of Christ
We believe that the Second Coming of Christ is personal and imminent; that He will descend
from Heaven in the clouds of glory with the voice of the Archangel and with the trump of God;
and that at this hour, which no man knows beforehand, the dead in Christ shall arise; then the
redeemed that are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in the air, and that so shall they ever be with the Lord.

VIII. Marriage
We believe the Bible teaches that marriage is ordained by God and is the union between one man
and one woman.

IX. Sanctity of Life
We believe the Bible teaches that all human life is sacred and begins at conception.
