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:
In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely,
the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
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.
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.
That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are
wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith
in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy
Ghost.
Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people.
In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean
heart.
In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives
utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism
of the Holy Ghost.
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.
Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
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.
In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous,
and eternal punishment for the wicked.
