We believe, declare and live in the confidence that Jesus Christ came from heaven to earth to reveal the kingdom of God, die for all sinners on the cross, rise from the dead, rule with God over heaven and earth, establish His church on the earth, and that He now reigns as Lord of lords and King of kings on earth and in heaven forever.
3. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that according to the word of God we are spiritually born again, converted from the power of sin to the power of God by the Holy Spirit, made saints, by the confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and in our belief that God raised Him from the dead.
4. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that we now live in conflict with the devil on the earth.

As it is written, “The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.”
5. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that we will overcome the temptation to sin.

And, that if we do sin, God is faithful to forgive us as we confess our sins and return to His righteous ways.
