THE BELIEFS OF THE CHURCH OF GOD OF PROPHECY
From its beginning, the Church of God of Prophecy has based its beliefs on the "whole Bible rightly divided." We accept the Bible as God's Holy Word,
inspired, inerrant, and infallible. We believe the Bible to be God's written revelation of Himself to mankind and our guide in all matters of faith; therefore, we
look to the Bible as our highest authority for doctrine, practice, organization, and discipline.
It was a strong desire to rely solely on the Bible that led the early pioneers of the church to declare their willingness to be free from all man-made creeds
and traditions, to take the New Testament as their only rule of faith and practice, and to give each other equal rights and privileges to read and interpret
the Bible as their consciences might dictate. These basic tenets remain intact today; however, as the church grew and spread throughout the world, it was
seen that there was safety in a "multitude of counselors" when making doctrinal decisions. Thus, today, all doctrinal matters are agreed upon in one accord
by the General Assembly.
The Church of God of Prophecy is firm in its commitment to orthodox Christian belief. We affirm that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in the physical miracles He performed, in His atoning
death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory at His Second
Coming. We profess that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of sinful man. We believe that sanctification by the blood of Christ
makes possible personal holiness. We affirm the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling we are able to live godly lives and have power for
service. We believe in the ultimate unity of believers, as prayed for by our Lord Jesus Chris in John 17. We believe in the sanctity of human life; we are also
committed to the sanctity of the marriage bond and the importance of strong, loving Christian families.
Furthermore, the church makes prominent other biblical doctrines that have clear New Testament support but may not always be espoused by modern
Christianity. These "Important Bible Truths" constitute some of the doctrinal beliefs and practices that enable the Church of God of Prophecy to be
named among those organizations that preach the fundamental principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. These truths are an indication of our continuing
commitment to walk in the light of God's Holy Word to the best of our knowledge and ability.
