*AN EXPANSION OF THE STATEMENT ON THE “EXCHANGED LIFE”

​

We believe that the believer partakes of eternal life (Christ's life) at the time of new birth, that identification with Christ in His crucifixion, burial, resurrection and ascension brought the death of the "old man" and the life of the "new man." This may become a revealed experiential reality through a decision to lose one's life (total surrender) and to appropriate the Christ life by faith, and is continuously revealed by abiding in the Spirit and pursuing holiness. Victorious living is Christ living His life through the believer by the believer's faith and obedience under the Holy Spirit.

​

We do not teach passivity, sinless perfection, or the deification of man.
