We urge its daily study, aided by prayer, and the Holy Spirit's guidance. W e believe that Jesus is presently ministering in our behalf in the heavenly sanctuary. We also believe in His soon return to bring full redemption to His people. We believe that the faithful who die prior to the Second Coming will rest in the grave until the resurrection at Christ's second coming. We believe in the annihilation of the wicked by the fire that purifies the earth during the executive phase of judgment.
W e believe in spiritual gifts, including the gift of prophecy.
These gifts are for the edifying of the entire church. We believe that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, taking proper care of our body is part of true spiritual living. W e believe that as Christ's ambassadors on this earth, our lives should reflect His character. We believe the Ten Commandments to be a transcript of God's character and, therefore, the standard of righteousness.
