Our Statement of Faith continued

6. Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.21 [21] Titus 3:4–7

7. It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly,22 being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service.(23) This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.24 [22] 1 Thessalonians 5:23, [23] Acts 1:8, [24] Romans 6:1–14

8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body.25 Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age.26 [25] Matthew 8:16–17, [26] James 5:13–16

9. The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, 27 which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations.28 The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.29 [27] Ephesians 1:22–23, [28] Matthew 28:19–20, [29] Acts 2:41–47>

10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life;30 for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.31 [30] 1 Corinthians 15:20–23, [31] John 5:28–29

11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent32 and will be personal, visible, and premillennial.33 This is the believer's blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service.34 [32] Hebrews 10:37, [33] Luke 21:27, [34] Titus 2:11–14
