| Doctrine of Man
I believe that man
was created by God in His image, sinless and innocent, but that
by disobedience to his Creator he incurred both physical and spiritual
death; that all men through choice and an inherited evil nature
are totally depraved, fallen in intellect, emotion and will, and
if not saved will endure eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
Genesis 1:26, 27; 2:7-3:24; II Samuel 12:23; Psalm 51:5; Matthew
18:10-14; Romans 5:12; 6:23; 8:5-8; I Corinthians 15:45; Galations
5:17; Revelation 20:14,15
I believe that man is born with a sinful nature and at
the time of his new birth he receives a righteous nature. These
two natures are in constant conflict within every believer. The
new nature will be victorious when one is yielded to the leading
of the Holy Spirit in his life.
John 3:1-12; Romans 6:11-14; 7:15-25; 8:1-29; I John 4:4
