What We Believe in the Pillar of Fire Church

• I. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired of God, inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
• II. We believe in one God, maker and preserver of all things, existing in three equal persons--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• III. We believe in the essential deity of Jesus Christ our Lord, and in His physical resurrection from the dead.
• IV. We believe that the Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty, and glory with the Father and the Son, very eternal God.
• V. We believe in the fall of man and the universal depravity of the human race, and in the guilty and lost condition of all people everywhere outside Christ.
• VI. We believe in "repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ."
• VII. We believe in justification by faith and in Christian perfection, or entire sanctification, as a second definite work of grace.
• VIII. We believe in the immortality of the soul and the resurrection of the body.
• IX. We believe in the premillennial return of Christ.

We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick [living] and the dead. We believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
