FULL GOSPEL CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Statement of Faith

1. The Bible is the only inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God and is the rule for life and conduct of the believer.

2. There is one true God, eternally existent in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

3. Man was created good and upright, but man, by voluntary transgression, fell and the only hope for redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God who was virgin born and who lived a sinless life.

4. It is the grace of God that brings Salvation. Man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, and by being justified by grace through faith. The evidence of this “New Birth” is a witness of the Holy Spirit inwardly, and a changed life both inwardly and subsequently outwardly.

5. In the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is evidenced by the sign of speaking with other tongues as the spirit leads, and by subsequent manifestations of spiritual power in public testimony and service.

6. Gifts have been given to the church by the Holy Spirit in order for the church to be equipped and be used to encourage and build up one another. These gifts are for today and are active within a healthy church.

7. That entire sanctification and holiness is the will of God and should be pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word.

8. Deliverance from sickness is provided for all in the atonement and is the privilege of all believers.

9. In the return of Jesus Christ, to consummate His Kingdom, in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

10. In water baptism which is the outward expression of the inward work of Christ, which acknowledges the work of the cross in our lives.
