The Afterlife

The second coming of christ

We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent; we are as certain that His second coming will occur as we are that His first coming is a historical fact. No one knows the exact time of His coming, but believers will continue to spread the gospel around the world until He does come again. At that time the Lord Himself will descend from heaven, the dead Christians will be resurrected, and believers will be taken up to meet the Lord in the air.

Matthew 24:36,42,44; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

judgment

We believe that everyone will stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Born-again believers will be sent to a place of everlasting life, and nonbelievers will be sent to a place of everlasting punishment.

Revelation 20:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:10

Heaven

We believe that heaven is the habitation of the living God and the eternal home of born-again believers.

John 14:2; Revelation 7:15-17
