Heaven is an actual place where God dwells (Matthew 6:9). Heaven is the place from which Christ descended and to which, after the completion of His earthly ministry, He ascended after His resurrection. Jesus Christ now sits in heaven at the right hand of God the Father where He makes intercession for the saints. All believers immediately go to God's presence in heaven upon death (Mark 16:19; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 8:34; II Corinthians 5:8).

We believe in the promised, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; John 14:1-3). Jesus will receive unto Himself all those who have believed in His death and resurrection (I Thessalonians 4:13-18). After the translation of the saints to meet the Lord in the air, believers will give an account of their works at the judgment seat of Christ (Matthew 16:27; Romans 14:10-12; I Corinthians 3:10-15; II Corinthians 5:9-11). Jesus will return with His saints to earth to judge all nations (Revelation 14:14-20; 19:11-21; Jude 14-15). A thousand year reign of Jesus Christ will follow His coming which will culminate with the destruction of Satan and his evil followers (Revelation 20:1-10). At the end of the thousand year reign, all lost sinners will be judged at the great white throne judgment (Revelation 20:11-15). The saints of God will enjoy the new heaven and the new earth for all eternity (Revelation 21).

Hell is a literal place of torment (Luke 16:19-31). The lake of fire was prepared for the Devil and his angels, but all those who reject the salvation offered through Jesus Christ will spend their eternity there (Matthew 25:41, 46; II Thessalonians 1:7-8). Man will suffer in hell according to the evil he has done in this present world (Luke 12:47-48).

Section 11. Biblical Separation

We believe that the saved should live in such a way so as to not bring reproach upon their Saviour and Lord. God commands believers to separate from religious apostasy; worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations; and to refrain from all immodest and immoderate appearances, piercings, and bodily markings (Leviticus 19:28; Romans 12:1-2; 14:13; 16:17-18; I Corinthians 6:19-20; II Corinthians 6:14-7:1; II Timothy 3:1-5; I John 2:15-17; II John 7-11).

Section 12. Civil Government

We believe that God has ordained all authority consisting of three institutions: the home, the church, and the government. Every person is subject to these authorities, but all (including the authorities themselves) are answerable to God and governed by His Word. No institution has the right to infringe upon the other (Romans 13:1-7; Ephesians 5:22-24; Hebrews 13:17; I Peter 2:13-17).

Section 13. Human Sexuality and Marriage

We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality (sodomy), lesbianism, bisexuality, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one's gender by surgery or appearance (Genesis 2:24; 19:5, 13; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-27, 29; I Corinthians 5:1; 6:9; I Thessalonians 4:1-8; Hebrews 13:4). We believe that the only legitimate Scriptural marriage is the joining of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:22-23). We believe that the easy divorce of our culture is not pleasing to God, and He has ordained marriage to last until death of one of the spouses (Malachi 2:14-17; Matthew 19:3-12; Romans 7:1-3).

Section 14. Sanctity of Human Life

We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. Abortion is murder, and we reject any teaching that abortions of pregnancies due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, birth or population control, or the physical or mental well-being of the mother are acceptable (Job 3:16; Psalm 51:5; 139:14-16; Isaiah 44:24; 49:1, 5; Jeremiah 1:5; 20:15-18; Luke 1:44).
