Our Beliefs
Hancock Church Of God
Declaration of Faith
The 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 pre-millennial 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
