Essex Church of God

We Believe

In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.

In One God eternally existing in three persons; namely, The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost.

That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to Heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.

That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and is necessary for forgiveness of sins.

That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.

Holiness is God's standard of living for His people.

In the baptism of the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
