Declaration of Faith
Shadeville Holiness Church

We believe:

  • In the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Bible.

  • In one God eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and 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 and 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 Christ, through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.

  • That holiness is God’s standard of living for His people.

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

  • In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

  • In water baptism by immersion, and that all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

  • That divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.

  • In the Lord’s Supper and the washing of the saints’ feet.

  • In the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ.

  • In the literal, pre-millennial, second coming of Jesus—first, to resurrect the righteous dead and to carry away the living saints to meet Him in the air; second, to reign with His saints on earth for a thousand years.

  • In the bodily resurrection: eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.
