OUR STATEMENTS OF FAITH (Continued)

 We believe:

• in sanctification as an act of separation from that
  which is evil, and of dedication unto God. (John 17:15–19;
  Acts 15:8,9; 1 Thessalonians 4:3).

• that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is the bestowing of the
  believer with power to be an effective witness for Christ.
  (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,5,8; Acts 2:1–4; 8:15–19; 11:14–17;
  19:1–7).

• in the present day operation of the nine supernatural
  gifts of the Holy Spirit ( 1 Corinthians 12). We also believe
  in the ministry gifts of Christ (Ephesians 4:11–13).

• that divine healing for the body, as with all redemptive
  blessings of God, has been provided for us by the
  atoning death and victorious resurrection of our Lord
  Jesus Christ. (Exodus 15:26; Isaiah 53:4; Matthew 8:16,17;
  1 Peter 2:24; Psalms 103:3; James 5:14, 15)

• in the premillennial, imminent and personal return of our
  Lord Jesus Christ to gather his people unto himself.
  (John 14:1–3; James 5:7,8; Titus 2:13; 1 Thess. 4:15–17;
  2 Thess. 2:1; 1 John 2:28; 3:2, 3).

• in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to set up His
  millennial reign on this earth. (Zechariah 14:5; Daniel 7:22;
  Revelation 5:9–10; Psalms 96:10–13; Psalms 11;
  Revelation 20:1–10).

• in the everlasting punishment of the wicked (in the
  sense of eternal torment) Matthew 25:46; 13:49,50;
  Luke 12:47,48; 2 Thessalonians 1:8,9; Romans 6:23;
  Revelation 20:11–15. We believe that the devil and his
  angels and whosoever is not found written in the Book
  of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment
  in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which
  is the second death—Rev.19:20;  Rev. 20:10–15.

• in, and look forward to new heavens and a new earth
  wherein dwelleth righteousness" Peter 3:13;
  Revelation Chapters 21 and 22.

• that the heavens and earth and all original life forms,
  including man, were made by the specific immediate
  creative acts of God.
