The Holy Spirit is always verified through scripture. All gifts continue through the Holy Spirit to the present day. He cultivates Christian character, comforts believers, and bestows the spiritual gifts by which they serve God through His church. The Holy Spirit empowers for service, convicts and purifies of sin, and illuminates God’s will to His people. The Holy Spirit secures every Christian until Christ returns. The Holy Spirit manifests God’s active presence in the world. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image.
People’s inherited sin nature brings physical death, spiritual condemnation and eternal judgment in hell. People are unable to escape the wrath of God on their own.
People are born with a sin nature as a result of Adam’s sin, and are born into an environment inclined toward sin. God creates each person as male or female and these distinct genders together reflect the image and nature of God. People are the crowning work of God’s creation and are designed to enjoy a relationship with Him.
People are created in God’s image and for His glory, but are separated from God by their sin. Jesus will return to redeem the church and execute final judgment. He rose bodily from the grave and ascended to the right hand of the Father where He intercedes for His own. Jesus demonstrated His obedience to the Father and love for mankind by dying on the cross, bearing the wrath of the Father against sinful man. Jesus is fully eternal God, yet humbled himself in obedience to the Father. He is fully man, yet has a sinless nature and lived a sinless life. Jesus is the Son of God, Savior of man, and Lord of all.
