We Believe in the
Bible as God's only inspired, inerrant, and authoritative revelation of
Himself to humanity in written form (2 Tim. 3:16-17). |
 |
We Believe in ONE GOD,
eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit (1 John 5:7). |
 |
We Believe in the
deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1), His virgin birth (Matt. 1:18),
His sinless life (2 Cor. 5:21), His vicarious death as the only acceptable
sacrifice for the sin of the world (1 John 2:2), His bodily resurrection
from the dead (Luke 24:39), His ascension to the right hand of God as our
intercessor (Heb. 4:14), and His future return in glory - first to rapture
His church (1 Thess. 4:16-18), and second, to establish His Kingdom on Earth
(Rev. 20:6). |
 |
We Believe in the
sufficiency and the finality of Christ's redemptive work, giving us free
access to the Father (1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 7:25). |
 |
We Believe that Jesus
died for the sin of the entire world and that anyone who believes and
accepts His sacrifice will be saved (John 3:16-17). |
 |
We Believe in
salvation - the new birth - as the only way to receive God's gift of eternal
life as a present possession (John 3:3, 5, 7, 16-17; Romans 6:23; 1 John
5:9-13). |
 |
We Believe in the
resurrection of the dead - first the dead in Christ (the saved - born
again - redeemed) to eternal life in the presence of God, and second, the
dead without Christ (the unsaved - unredeemed) to eternal punishment
and separation from God (Daniel 12:2; John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:4-6,
11-15). |
 |
We Believe in the
sacraments of the church as established by Jesus Christ - The Lord's Supper
as a symbol of the broken body and shed blood of Christ as necessary to our
salvation (Matt. 26:26-30; 1 Cor. 11:23-25) and Baptism by immersion as a
symbol of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ and as a witness to
the new birth (Matt. 28:19; 1 Peter 3:20-22). |
