We believe man is the supernatural special creation of God wherein He formed man Himself out of the dust of the ground, in a single action, not using any process of evolution or any other method. He made in His own image. The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image and in that Christ died for man. Therefore, every person of every skin color and ethnic background possesses full dignity from conception and is worthy of respect and Christian love. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation (there are only two genders). The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God's creation. Sexual relations between individuals of the same gender is a rebellion against God’s gift. In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin and death into the human race. Through the temptation of Satan, man transgressed the command of God, and fell from his original innocence whereby his posterity inherit a nature and an environment inclined toward sin. We believe person is born in sin, spiritually dead, and needs personal spiritual life from a Savior who is, and only is, Jesus Christ (Messiah).

We believe that in the creation event God made only two genders and there are still only two genders: male and female. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God's creation. All children born into this world are born either male or female (with extremely rare genetic mutations being the exception). Gender is biological and is not determined by society or personal preferences.
