-
We believe
that the Bible is the only inspired, infallible,
authoritative and inerrant Word of God (II
Timothy 3:16,
II Peter 1:21) that God has preserved, as promised (Matthew
24:35,
I Peter 1:25) in the traditional Hebrew and Greek
manuscripts, and that the Authorized Version, the 1611 King
James Version, is an accurate translation of the preserved,
eternal Word of God.
-
We believe
that there is one God (Deuteronomy
4:35,
II Samuel 7:22), eternally existent in three persons,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit (I
John 5:7,
John 1:1&14,
I Peter 1:2,
II Corinthians 13:14,
John 15:26), one in essence, coequal and coeternal, but
distinct in person and function.
-
We believe
in the deity of Jesus Christ (John
1:1,2&14), His virgin birth (Isaiah
7:14,
Matthew 1:22-23), His sinless life (Hebrews
4:15,
7:26), His miracles (John
2:11,
Matthew 9:6), His vicarious, atoning death (I
John 2:1-2,
I Corinthians 15:3,
Ephesians 1:7,
Hebrews 2:9), His bodily resurrection (Matthew
28:7 &
9-10,
Luke 24:38-39,
I Corinthians 15:4-6,
Romans 1:4), His ascension to the right hand of the
Father (Mark
16:19,
Luke 22:69,
Acts 5:31,
Ephesians 1:20-23), and His personal, visible, bodily
return in power and glory (Acts
1:11,
Revelation 1:7,
Matthew 24:30).
-
We believe
in the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, whose
ministry is the conviction of sinners (John16:7&8),
the regeneration of the soul (Titus
3:5), the indwelling of the body (John
14:17,
I Corinthians 3:16), the baptism of water and the
Spirit (Matthew
3:11,
Acts 10:47), the sanctification of the believer (I
Corinthians 6:11,
II Thessalonians 2:13) the illumination of all who are
born again into the family of God (I
Corinthians 2:13,
John 14:26), and the empowerment of believers for the
service of Christ (Romans
8:13,
Acts 1:8).
-
We believe
that God created the universe and everything in it in six
days (Genesis
1:31 ? 2:2,
Exodus 20:11,
Exodus 31:17), and that He created man in His own image
(Genesis
1:27,
Genesis 5:1,
James 3:9), but because of the sin of Adam, all men are
born with a sinful nature (Romans
5:12), all have sinned and none are righteous in the
sight of God (Romans
3:10&23,
Ecclesiastes 7:20&29), nor are any works that man can do
sufficient unto salvation (Ephesians
2:8-9,
II Timothy 1:9,
Titus 3:5), but is freely given to those who have faith
in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, His death, burial and
resurrection (John
3:16,
Romans 10:8-13) and outside of Christ there is no other
salvation (Acts
4:8-12,
I Corinthians 2:2,
I Corinthians 3:11).
-
We believe
in the resurrection of all men, both the saved and the lost
(Revelation
20:12-13,
Acts 24:15). Those who are saved unto the resurrection
of eternal life (John
3:16 &
36,
John 10:28), and to those who believe not, eternal
torment (John
3:18,
Revelation 20:15).
-
We believe
in the spiritual unity of believers as members of the one
body of Christ, his church on earth (I
Corinthians 12:12-13,
Galatians 3:28,
Ephesians 4:13), of whom Christ is the head (Ephesians
5:23,
Colossians 1:18).
-
We believe
that the purpose of Christians, the followers of Christ, on
earth is to evangelize the lost (Matthew
28:18-20,
Romans 10:14-15,
Mark 16:15-16), to show love for all people (I
Corinthians 12:31 ? 13:4,
I Timothy 1:5,
Galatians 5:13-15) and to show love by good works, not
to earn salvation, but rather as a result of it, to the
glory of God (Galatians
6:9-10,
Ephesians 2:10,
Matthew 5:16).

Take heed unto thyself, and
unto the doctrine; continue
in them: for in doing this thou
shalt both save thyself, and
them that hear thee.
