We believe that God created ex-nihilo and formed the universe in six days as described in Genesis chapter one. We hold that despite being made in God’s image and likeness, humanity fell from grace through Adam’s disobedience, developing a sinful nature and becoming subject to death. We believe that God also created free-willed spirit beings while some disobeyed God and others are actively working against God’s intentions. These disobedient spirit beings are variously called fallen angels, demons and the devil.
