We believe that humanity was lost to sin. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created innocent and without sin, they fell from this condition by sinning, and in consequence, the whole human race is by nature dead in trespasses and sins. In addition to that, each human since then, aside from Jesus Christ, has individually sinned. (Romans 3:10-12; Romans 5:12; Ephesians 2:1,2)

We believe in salvation through Jesus Christ. Due to His incarnation, death and bodily resurrection, salvation is attained only through repentance and faith in Him. (Acts 4:12)
