Man

 We believe that man was created in the image of God with moral competence and responsibility, that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God; that Adam's is imputed to the whole race of Mankind, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and in case of those who reach the state of moral responsibility, become sinners before God in thought, word and deed.

  •  19  Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
  •  20  Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
  •  21  But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
  •  22  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
  •  23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
