| The
following affirmation demonstrates our beliefs in the profound
importance of a true confession of faith; however, let it always be
remembered that one may have right ideas about God and be in wrong
relation to Him. A Christian is not simply an individual who is
dedicated to a certain theological system of thoughts or a particular
ethical code. A Christian is one who has responded with faith to God's
saving act in Jesus and who is committed in personal trust and life
venture to Him. Doctrine and ethics both play an essential role in the
life of a Christian; however, doctrines describe the facts which
believers encounter in entering this life-giving relationship with Jesus
Christ and one's behavior both follows from believing these truths and
serves to maintain the vitality of the relationship. Without both, it
is impossible to know The Living God fully. We do hereby set forth,
therefore what we believe to be indispensable tenets of the Christian
faith.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of Heaven and Earth; and in Jesus Christ, His Son, Our Lord. Conceived by the Holy Spirit
