We believe God created many angels. These angels were created without sin, but Lucifer intentionally sinned and was then called Satan. Some of the angels (1/3) followed him to become fallen angels.

Satan rules in this sinful world; however, he does not have power over God, or us. He endeavors to destroy God's plan and man's life by influencing and tempting us to make bad decisions or to sin against God.

Isaiah 14:12
Psalm 104:4

We believe that the first couple was created sinless, but they intentionally sinned, causing all humans to fall under the power of sin. For this reason, it is necessary for every person to receive salvation through the sacrifice made for us by Jesus Christ. Without salvation, a person will receive the penalty of eternal destruction in hell.

Romans 3:23
Genesis 1:26-27

Man is a created being and was made in the likeness and image of God (both male and female). But, through Adam?fs transgression and fall, sin came into the world and passed upon all men. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God.

We believe that a person can only be saved when he or she trusts in Jesus Christ and His salvation from sin. Salvation is given by the grace of God and not because of one's own works. True confession, faith and trust in Christ will lead to repentance from sin. At the point of salvation, an individual becomes a new creation in Christ and is gradually transformed to become more like Him.

Salvation is the free gift of God to man. It is not earned by just doing good deeds and obeying God's Law. It is made operative by God's grace and given to us through our faith in Jesus Christ. This salvation experience occurs when an individual confesses with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in his heart that God has raised Him from the dead.
