through His precious blood, in His bodily
resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the
Father, and in His personal return in power and glory
as King of kings and Lord of lords.

We believe that for the salvation of the lost and
sinful man, regeneration by the new birth (born of
water and spirit) is absolutely essential. [John 3:5]
