A Declaration of Things
Most Commonly Believed Among Us!

The Church of God 7th Day cherishes the liberty of thought as an essential condition for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Therefore we have no binding creed to which members must subscribe; however there are certain rules members must adhere to, however there are certain fundamental truths which have been binding upon Christians throughout out all ages. Therefore, these are the historic doctrines taught by the Church of God which we believe:

• The Bible to be the inspired Word of God, God the Father is the supreme Deity, Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, and the Holy Spirit is the promised Comforter.

• In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His miracles; His vicarious and atoning death; His bodily resurrection late on the Sabbath Day, (7th day); His ascension to the right hand of God in heaven; and His soon personal return to establish His kingdom and rule this earth in great power and glory.

• The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the Precious blood of Jesus and obedience to our Lord’s command to be baptized, (immersed), in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.

• That by faith we may receive healing for our bodies.  Prayer should be made to God in the name of Jesus Christ, and in the power of the Holy Spirit.  We believe in the “laying on of hands” of the elders and the prayer of faith for Divine healing.

• The Scriptures enjoin the observance of the Ten Commandments, including the observance of the seventh day Sabbath, (Saturday), to be observed from sunset on Friday until sunset on Saturday.

• The Lord’s Supper and foot washing should be observed once a year at the proper and appointed time, on the 14th day of Nisan.

• In the resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust, the just too eternal life and the unjust to eternal death.

• The dead are in a state of unconsciousness.  We believe that the dead are asleep in the grave, both the just and unjust, a condition which shall remain unchanged until the great resurrection at Christ’s Second Advent.

• The true church organization taught in the Bible is local autonomy and that the Bible name for the church is “The Church of God.”

• The test of Christian’s fellowship are the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.
