His Statement of Faith,
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to mankind, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason (2 Timothy 3:15-16Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); 1 Peter 2:2Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed “I AM” and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, i.e., Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (Deuteronomy 6:4Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Mark 12:29Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Isaiah 43:10Open in Logos Bible Software (if available), 11Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Matthew 28:19Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
That man was created good and upright, for God said “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” But man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God (Genesis 1:26-31: 3Open in Logos Bible Software (if available):1-7; Romans 5:12-21Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
The grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, and, being justified by grace through faith, he becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life (Titus 2:11Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Romans 10:13-15Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Luke 23:47Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Titus 3:5-7Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). The “inward” evidence to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). The “outward” evidence of his salvation to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.
The ordinance of baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures, by all who have repented and in their hearts have truly believed in Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they have the body washed in pure water as an outward symbol of cleansing, while their heart has already been sprinkled with the blood of Christ as an inner cleansing. Thus, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Acts 10:47-48Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Romans 6:4Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Acts 20:21Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Hebrews 10:22Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)), a memorial of His suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). It is enjoined on all believers “until He comes.”
That all believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect, and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:29Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Acts 1:4Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); 1:8Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); 1 Corinthians 12:1-31Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 10:44-46Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); 11:14-16Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); 15:7-9Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
In the baptism of believers as a unique work of the Holy Ghost—an evidence of which is the speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). The manifestation of speaking in other tongues, in this instance, is the same in essence as the gift of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:4-10Open in Logos Bible Software (if available), 28Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)) but different in purpose and use.
The Scriptures teach a life of holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. By the power of the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command, “Be ye holy, for I am holy.” Entire sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word (Hebrews 12:14Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); 1 Peter 1:15-16Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); 1 John 2:6Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
The church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit with divine appointments for the fulfillment of the great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven (Ephesians 1:22-23Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); 2:22Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Hebrews 12:33Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a twofold purpose: The evangelization of the world, and the edifying of the Body of Christ (Mark 16:15-20Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Ephesians 4:11-13Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement and is the privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4-5Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Matthew 8:16-17Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation, together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, is the imminent and blessed hope of the church (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Titus 2:12Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); 1 Corinthians 15:51-52Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Romans 8:23Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven, the salvation of national Israel, and the Millennial reign of Christ on earth is the Scriptural promise and the world’s hope (2 Thessalonians 1:17Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Revelation 19:11-14Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Romans 11:26-27Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Revelation 20:1-7Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Revelation 19:20Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Revelation 20:10-15Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
“According to His promise, look for new heavens, and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness” (2 Peter 3:13Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Revelation 21:1Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
