We believe that repentance towards God, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary to salvation.

We believe that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ.

We believe in the immortality of the soul, in the resurrection of the body, in the general judgement at the end of the world, in the eternal happiness of the righteous, and in the endless punishment of the wicked.

We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sanctified.

We believe that sanctification is scriptural holiness and means a complete transformation of life, a renewal of our fallen nature by the Holy Spirit, received through faith in Jesus Christ, whose blood of atonement cleanses from all sin, whereby we are not only delivered from the guilt of sin but are washed from its pollution, saved from its power, and enabled, through grace, to love God with all our hearts and to so walk in His holy commandments that our whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that sanctification is part of the new birth together with justification (forgiveness of sins), regeneration (newness of life), and adoption (becoming a child of God). Scriptural holiness (“Christ-righteousness” or perfect love in action) is based on the promise of God, is accepted by faith, and is entirely dependent on the personal ministry of the Holy Spirit. Unlike justification, regeneration, and adoption, sanctification is not completed at conversion but requires the believer to be entirely consecrated to the Saviour and filled with (as well as born of) the Spirit. This deeper seam of Christian commitment will admit a richer enduement of grace.  Because this is normally only recognized after one’s Christian life has begun, it is often referred to as “the second blessing” or “the subsequent blessing.”
