| Declaration
of Faith
The
Herne Hill Church of God believes the whole Bible to be completely
and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. The
Church of God has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as
its standard and official expression of its doctrine.
|
We
Believe...
::
In
the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
::
In
one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost.
::
That
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of
the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified,
buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and
is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
::
That
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance
is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
::
That
justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith
in the blood of Jesus Christ.
::
In
sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the
blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
::
Holiness
to be God's standard of living for His people.
::
In
the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
::
In
speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that
it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
::
In
water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
::
Divine
healing is provided for all in the atonement.
::
In
the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
::
In
the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the
righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the
air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
::
In
the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal
punishment for the wicked.
