At First Assembly, we
believe...
... the Bible to be the inspired and only
infallible and authoritative Word of God.
... there is one God, eternally existent in
three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
... in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ,
in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and
atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the
Father, and in His personal, future return to this earth in power and glory to rule
over the nations.
... in the blessed hope the rapture
of the Church at Christ's coming.
... the only means of being cleansed from
sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.
... regeneration by the Holy Spirit is
absolutely essential for personal salvation.
... in water baptism by immersion
... the redemptive work of Christ on the
cross provides healing of the human body in answer to prevailing prayer.
... the baptism in the Holy Spirit,
according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
... in the sanctifying power of the Holy
Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.
... in the resurrection of both the saved
and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
