Regeneration

We believe that God created man in His own image; that he sinned and thereby incurred physical, spiritual and eternal death, which is separation from God. The consequence of man’s rebellion is that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are sinners by choice and therefore under condemnation.

We believe that those who repent and forsake sin and trust Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become new creatures, delivered from condemnation and receive eternal life.
