Sent with the everlasting gospel

The Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God, given through human writers moved by the Holy Spirit. Scripture is the supreme authority for all doctrine, practice and Christian living.

God the Father is the source and sustainer of all existence. God the Son, incarnate as Jesus Christ, provides the only means of salvation through His perfect life, atoning death and victorious resurrection. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, brings spiritual rebirth and empowers Christian living and service.

Humanity was created in God's image as the crowning work of creation. All people have been affected by sin, which separates us from God and creates the universal need for redemption.

Salvation comes entirely through God's grace, received by faith in Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice, not through human works or merit, though genuine faith produces works of righteousness.

We understand Revelation 14:6-12 as God's final call to humanity before Christ returns: the everlasting gospel proclaimed to every nation, tribe, tongue and people, a call to worship the Creator, and a call to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

The Ten Commandments reflect God's character and remain the standard of righteousness. The seventh-day Sabbath, from Friday evening to Saturday evening, is a memorial of creation and a sign of sanctification, kept for rest, worship, spiritual growth and service to others.

The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and deserves care through proper diet, exercise and rest, with abstinence from alcohol, tobacco and harmful drugs. Medical ministry is the right arm of the gospel, opening hearts and showing God's love in practical ways.

Jesus Christ will return literally, visibly and personally to complete the plan of salvation and establish His eternal kingdom. The righteous dead will be raised at His coming, and God will create a new earth where righteousness dwells.

Human beings are mortal by nature; immortality is God's gift to the righteous at the resurrection. Death is an unconscious sleep until that day.

The true church includes all who have genuine faith in Jesus Christ. In these last days God has a people who keep His commandments and have the testimony of Jesus, called to proclaim the Three Angels' Messages while ministering to the whole person.

The Holy Spirit gives gifts to every believer for the good of the church and its mission. Divine healing comes through prayer and faith, and God also uses natural and medical means as part of His healing provision.
