Doctrinal Statement on Satan:

10. We BELIEVE in the personality of SATAN, who is the open and declared enemy of God and man. Job 1:6-7; Matthew 4:2-11; Isaiah 14:12-17. . We BELIEVE that the HOLY SPIRIT is a Person who convicts the world of sin, indwells all believers in the present age, baptizes them into the Body of Christ, seals them unto the Day of Redemption, and that it is the duty of every believer to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:9;
1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:13-14; 5:18.
