wolcc - what we believe

SCRIPTURES

• The infallible, inerrant (free of errors), and the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct (II Timothy 3:16)

• The eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as one God existing in three persons; Father, Son, Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19)

• We believe in the creation, test, and fall of man as recorded in Genesis; his total moral corruption and inability to attain to Divine righteousness (Romans 5:12, 18).

• The Savior of Men; conceived of the Holy Spirit; born of Virgin Mary; very much God and very much man. He died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared unto His disciples (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:14-18; Isa. 7:14; 9:6; I Cor. 15:1-4; Romans 4:25)

• Salvation of sinners is by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the Cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins (Eph. 2:8-9; Heb. 9:12, 22; Romans 5:11)

• A real experience at or subsequent to salvation, with the scriptural evidence, namely, speaking in unknown tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46; Gal. 3:14-15)

• By immersion in the name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6)

• The operation of the Gifts of the Spirit as listed in Scripture (I Cor. 12-14) as manifested in the Early Church.
