GENERAL INFORMATION

statement in moral and spiritual teachings and record of historical facts. "There is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. "Our Lord Jesus Christ was supernaturally conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived and taught and wrought mighty works and wonders and signs exac tly as is reco rd ed in the four Gospels, was put to death by crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, was raised from the d ead in the body that had been nail ed to the cross, now sits at the Father's right hand from whence He is coming again personally, bodily, and visibly to this earth to inaugurate His millennial reign. In His pre-existent state He was with God, and of His own choice laid aside His divine glory and took upon Him­ self th e form of a servant and was made in the like ness of me n. He became in every respect a real man, possessed of all the essential characteristics of human nature. By His death upon the cross, the Lord Jesus Christ made a perfect atonement for sin, redeeming us from the curse of the law by becom­ ing a curse in our place. "The Holy Spirit is a Person, is God, and is possessed of all the distinct­ ively divine attributes; He indwe lls all believers, having baptized th em into the body of Christ at th e time of regeneration. "Man was created in the image of God, but the who le human race fell in the sin of the first Adam, and apart from Christ is sp irih1a ll y dead and lost. Men are justified on the simp le and single ground of the shed blood of Christ and upon the simple and single condition of faith in Him who shed the blood, and are born again by the Hol y Spirit, through the instrumentality of the Word of God. All those who rece ive Jesus Christ as their Saviour and the ir Lord, and who confess Him as such before their fe ll ow men become he irs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ and at death th e ir spir its depart to be with Christ in conscious bles sedness, and at the second coming of Christ their bodi es shall be raised and transformed into th e likeness of the body of His glory. All thos e who persistently rej ect Jesus Christ in th e present life shall be raised from the dead and throughout e ternity ex ist in a state of conscious and endless torment. "The Church consists of all those who, in this prese nt dispensation , truly believe on Jesus Christ and is th e body and bride of Christ, which Christ loves and for which He has given Hims e lf. "There is a personal devil, a being of great cunning who can exert vast power on ly so far as God suffers him to do so, and who shall ultimate ly be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. "
