Declaration of Faith
Fountain of Praise Richmond Church of God is affiliated with the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) "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
1 In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
2 In one God eternally existing in three persons; the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
3 That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and was born of the Virgin Mary.
4 That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead.
5 That Jesus ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
6 That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
7 That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
8 In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ, through the Word, and by the Holy Spirit.
9 Holiness should be the standard of living for Gods' people.
10 In the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
11 In water baptism by immersion, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
12 Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
13 In the Lord's Supper and the washing of the saints' feet.
14 In the second coming of Jesus. 1. To resurrect the dead in Christ and then to catch away the living saints in the air. 2. To reign on the earth a thousand years.
15 In the resurrection; Eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.
