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 Ghost (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
Ghost 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
Ghost 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)
