4. We believe that all people sin and can be saved only by God’s grace through faith in Christ crucified and raised from the dead (Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, I Corinthians 15:1-5) , that such are justified freely through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24, Ephesians 1:7) , that unless one is born again, of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God (John 3:3-7) , that repentance is an essential part of true faith (Mark 1:15, Luke 13:3-5, Acts 20:21) , that the outward way of demonstrating one’s inward faith and repentance and the union with Christ that results is through immersion in water (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-4) . 3. We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33) ; His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35) ; His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:26) ; His miracles (John 2:11) ; His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9) ; His resurrection (John 11:25; I Corinthians 15:4) ; His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19) ; His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11;Revelation 19:11) .
