We believe the Bible to be the inspired,
infallible, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God (II
Timothy 3:15-17, II Peter 1:21)
We believe there is one God, eternally existing in
three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis
1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30)
We believe in the deity of Christ (John
10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14,
Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:34-35); His sinless life
(Hebrews 4:15, 7:26); His miracles
(John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death
(I Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9);
His resurrection (John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4);
His ascension to the right hand of the Father
(Mark 16:19); His personal return to earth in power
and glory! (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11-16).
We believe in the absolute necessity of
regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding
sinfulness of the human nature, and that all are justified on the single
ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God's grace
through faith alone are we saved! (John 3:16-19; 5:24,
Romans 3:23; 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5)
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved
and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those
who are not unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).
We believe in the spiritual unity of the believers
in our Lord Jesus Christ .
(Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28)
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy
Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
(Romans 8:13-14, I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30; 5:18)
We believe that we as Christians are examples of
the love of God in this world. It is this (agape) love that we desire to
possess and without which we have no right to call ourselves Christians. (I John 4:16-17)
We believe it is the mandate of the whole Church to
go into the whole world and to preach the Gospel to every living creature.
(Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19-20)
