Of the True God:

We believe there is one God; eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14; I John 5:7)

1. God the Father:
   We believe in God the Father, Creator and sustainer of all things visible and invisible, who is true holiness, eternal power, infinite love, perfect justice, and absolute truth. (Genesis 1:1; Leviticus 19:2; Romans 1:20; 3:26; Titus 1:2; I John 4:8-9)
   
   
2. God the Son:
   We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, Creater of all things, the only begotten Son of God, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death on the cross, in the shedding of His precious blood for the remission of sin, in His bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of God the Father where He ever lives to make intercession for the saints, in His coming for His saints, and return to earth to reign in power and glory for a thousand years. (Zechariah 14:4-9; Matthew 1:18, 22, 23; 28:6; John 1:14; 3:16; Acts 1:9-11; 10:38; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Hebrews 4:15; 7:25)
   
   
3. God the Holy Ghost:
   We believe that the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit, is the divine person who moved holy men of God to write the scriptures, who convicts of sin, who quickens in the new birth, who seals the true believer unto the day of redemption, who is the earnest of our inheritance, and who indwells the believer with power for holy living and service. (John 14:16, 17; 16:8, 9; Acts 1:8; Colossians 1:15-17; Romans 8:11; Ephesians 1:13, 14; 4:30; II Peter 1:21)
