... in God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. ...in Jesus Christ, that He died for our sins, rose again, and is coming to take us to heaven. ...in the Holy Spirit, and that He works the will of God in our lives. ...that the Bible is the Word of God. ...that we are born in original sin, with the need for God in our lives. ...that Jesus Christ died on a cross, and that by trusting His death we can be changed. ...that God has given us a choice in living a life of sin or trusting in Jesus. ...that each person must turn away from his or her sins and trust Christ to change him or her. ...that when we turn and trust Christ the old record of sin is wiped clean, that we are born anew, and that we become a part of the family of God. ...that after being born anew, we need the fullness of God's Spirit in our hearts. When we make a complete commitment to Him, He cleanses our spirit, fills us with His perfect love, and gives us the power to live victoriously. ...the church is the community that confesses Jesus Christ as Lord. It is the covenant people of God, made new in Christ, and called together by the Holy Spirit through the Word. ...that Jesus Christ is coming again. ...that everyone shall face the judgment of God with its rewards and punishments. ...in baptism and urge people to be baptized as Christians. ...in the Lord's Supper. ...that God can heal.  We pray for healing.  We also believe that God can work through medical science.
